The anniversary parties are always wonderful! A truly wonderful experience!

Ya know it always ticks me off to see these small business folks who tout their warez when they are really wolves in sheeps clothing.  Ive noticed an ALARMING number of places springing onto the scene to take a bite into the craft brew rise and these are folks who are no more craft beer enthusiasts as I am a indonesian sooth sayer.  It’s marketing angle and a chance to attract more $$$’s. This is big corporate thinking. Trust me ive worked for big corporations my whole life and it’s all about the bottomline. In the end business have to survive but at what extent? I pray the loyal patrons and supporter of craft beer see thru the smoke and mirrors of these snake oil touts and understand what is really happening.  If the price seems outrageous it’s for a reason, if there is always something amiss there is prolly a reason.  Live well, drink well and support local craft beer but just be careful to those wolves who arent really beer friendly but they are WISE and CRUDE business folks.  There are more and more popping up every day which is good for craft beer as a whole but at what expense to you the consumer?

I’m super stoked that very very soon we’ll be able to launch out Valley Brew to the San Diego scene. Within the next 2 weeks we’re going to be offering some of their uber rad beers and showcasing the eclectic styles. I of course is pretty stoked and I met Steve Altimari a few months back and I’ve been speaking with Mike about distro ever since. The time has arrived!

The hThe human palate is capable of detecting four basic tastes, but during a typical beer tasting only two of those (well, three if you count the pretzels) are experienced: bitter, sweet, and salty. At the Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens we feel it’s high time we included the fourth flavor domain, SOUR, in the equation. Join us for hours of sours as we celebrate this great, and often unexplored, tradition of tart and tasty ales. We’re currently tracking down as many sour beers as we can put on tap and keep in bottles for the special day. The event will kick off when we open at 11am and will continue all day long at our outdoor bar. A $30 Sour Pass will get you 10 taster tickets (some of the rarer sour beers will require two tickets) along with a commemorative glass. Reservations are not required, however you plan to dine with us, reservations are strongly encouraged!uman palate is capable of detecting four basic tastes, but during a typical beer tasting only two of those (well, three if you count the pretzels) are experienced: bitter, sweet, and salty.
