Stone Day – SourFest

One of my favorite beer experiences was attending early SourFest at Stone Brewing’s garden campus in Escondido.  It was just the right amount of sours poured for plenty of choice and not too crowded either, though we did get a staggeringly high amount of drink tickets.

Makes me wonder what it would be like to return in 2023 to see what the sour world has to offer.

Old Guardian 2012


The 2012 version of the classic barley wine from Stone will be hitting shelves in two days but even better, tomorrow at the World Bistro and Gardens, starting at 11am, you will have the opportunity to try this year’s model as well as the the previous 12 vintages. And that includes the VERY LAST CASE of ’99. The old century’s barley wine is almost history.
