[Old Rasputin](http://www.northcoastbrewing.com/beer-rasputin.htm) Russian Imperial Stout. Somewhere on the bottle it says “Never Say Die.” If you like stouts, this one is fantastic. ---

> [@Acid\_Lamp](#): > > The Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Maya, unfolds a complex web of mystery around a beverage known as xocoatl (ch-co-atle). At Southern Tier, we’re not surprised that hieroglyphs of the ancient Maya depict chocolate being poured for rulers and gods. Even through the many voyages of Columbus, the mystical bean remained nothing more than a strange currency of the native peoples. > > Moving through centuries, the circular journey of cacao has been realized in our brewing house, encompassing the complexity of the darkest, bitter-sweet candy together with the original frothy cold beverage of the ancient Maya to bring to you our Blackwater Series Choklat Stout.

Yes, Delicious? Abso-fucking-lutely. Really way too wordy, though. “Southern Tier” is really all that’s needed. Seriously, I don’t think they can make a non-delicious beer. ---

> [@Crawlspace](#): > > “You’re Not Worthy.” > > Stone’s **Arrogant Bastard** Not even close to all of the label. Forthwith the entire label contents of the glorious Arrogant Bastard. This is an aggressive ale. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. We would suggest that you stick to safer and more familiar territory–maybe something with a multi-million dollar ad campaign aimed at convincing you it’s made in a little brewery, or one that implies that their tasteless fizzy yellow beverage will give you more sex appeal. Perhaps you think multi-million dollar ad campaigns make things taste better. Perhaps you’re mouthing your words as you read this. At Stone Brewing, we believe that pandering to the lowest common denominator represents the height of tyranny - a virtual form of keeping the consumer barefoot and stupid. Brought forth upon an unsuspecting public in 1997, Arrogant Bastard Ale openly challenged the tyrannical overlords who were brazenly attempting to keep Americans chained in the shackles of poor taste. As the progenitor of its style, Arrogant Bastard Ale has reveled in its unprecedented and uncompromising celebration of intensity. There have been many nods to Arrogant Bastard Ale…even outright attempts to copy it… but only one can ever embody the true nature of liquid Arrogance! ---

“From the glass-lined tanks at Old Latrobe…” Rolling Rock - now brewed in Newark, NJ I believe. Its just not the same. ---

“Fully Krausened” That’s what it say on “LaCrosse Lager”. I’m guessing whoever was in charge of that ad campaign was under a strict “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all” ruling. It may not be great beer, but at least it’s krausened! ---
