The only beer from them I had and wasn't super crazy about was the red IPA. Everything else is pretty top notch.

Another San Diego brewery; I don't think about them for stouts at all.
IPAs and some more Belgian-style offerings like Le Freak, etc. Outstanding brewery.

Is that the San Diego brewery you told me a few months ago I should try anything of theirs I see?

Just get some Green Flash and report back.

It's meh. You'd like it being a Deachutes fan. Too sweet and citrusy for me.

So Green Flash now owns Alpine Brewing - believe I referred to them. Green Flash has a number of stellar IPAs - West Coast, Palate Wrecker, 30th Street, and more - but Alpine is even better. With national distribution I expect to see Alpine Nelson or Duet around and both have been prized here for years.

Brought home a growler of Stone Ruination 2.0 for the holiday from the brewery. Finishing the last of it tonight. Really like the new take.

I'm glad to hear that. The changing of the recipes has me real scared.

Well it is different. Hope you'll like it. I've had a lot lately though and it's working for me. I do think it's I bit smoother than the original version but it's all from memory.
The price is great as well locally. $5.99 a 22 -- that's a great deal for a beer like this. If they keep that value nationally it's going to be huge.

Ruination is awesome so 2.0 has something to live up to. I don't think Stone would change a recipe like that one to make it worse.

Look forward to the reviews.

looks like they changed it to make it cheaper. Probably using less variety of grains and hops
