Brother David's Triple Anderson Valley, Boonville, CA Belgian Triple 10.0 % $5.00/13 oz.
A bright dry aroma tops off this deeply complex Belgian-style beer that has over tones of malt, fruit, and freshly mown fields. The intensity of the higher alcohol is rounded out by the deep richness of the malt and the light hop flavors. Light and pale in color, a nice malt backbone holds up the highlights of spicy hops intermingled with yeast esters and aromas. The triple (or "tripel" as the Belgian's call it) is a medium-bodied strong Belgian-style beer, with just a touch of mild malt sweetness and a dry finish on the palate.

The Reverand Avery, Colorado Belgian Quad 10.0 % 10 $5.00/13 oz.
The Reverend, was created in tribute to the life of Sales Mgr. Tom Boogaard's grandfather, an ordained Episcopal Reverend.

True to both our "small brewery, BIG BEERS" philosophy and to the spirit and character of the departed Reverend, this beer is assertive, and pure of heart, a heart of candy sugar. It contains as many authentic imported Belgian specialty malts as the brewers could cram into our mash tun, and lots of Belgian dark candy sugar stirred into the brew kettle. A divinely complex and beautifully layered beer with hints of dark cherries, currants, and molasses, complimented by an underlying spiciness and a finish that is Sinfully smooth!Cellarable for 4 years.

Devotion Lost Abbey, California Blond Ale 6.3 % $6.00/13 oz.
It’s an unassuming road leading to the priory. Here, off the corner of two intersecting roads, dedicated monks have been making beer for over 150 years. It’s always been a simple life – the kind that requires they brew only enough to sustain the activities of their monastery. In the silence of passing seasons, they pray, they brew and retire in solitary existence behind the sheltering walls. They live a most interesting life. Most likely one we couldn’t sustain. Nearby, each summer, the trellised fields spring to life as rows of resinous green cones are trained toward the heavens. Rumor is some monks love these hops and being surrounded by budding yellow aromas and the leafy pungent fields inspired them. Since we aren’t sensible enough to locate our brewery near hop fields, we can only offer this blond ale in celebration of our Abbey brethren and their steadfast Devotion.
Judgment Day Lost Abbey, California Belgian Style Quad Ale 10.5 % $5.00/13 oz.
A massive beer in every sense of the word. A stronger and more contemplative version of our Lost and Found Ale. Judgment Day is the base beer for our Cuvee de Tomme. Many of the Trappist Breweries produce a version of beer which ages incredibly well for many years to come. And, since none of us knows when the end of the world is coming, we suggest you stock up with lots of Lost Abbey beers so that when the end of the world magically appears from no where, you’ll have a beer or two on hand for even the stingiest of angels. Available in 750 ml bottles and on draft at select inspired locations.

Flemish Sour Ale Monk's Café , Belgium Flemish Sour Ale $6.00/13 oz.

Santa's Little Helper Port Brewing, California Russian Imperial Stout 10.5 % $5.00/16 oz. $17.50
Originally brewed at the Pizza Port in Solana Beach in November of 1997. As dark as the biggest lump of coal Santa can deliver, this beer has earned a dedicated following and is code named Satan's Little Hangover by those who have indulged in a holiday like manner from time to time. Originally shipped from London to the Czarist rulers of Russia, Imperial Stouts are stronger, richer and more robust versions of traditional stouts. The increase in alcohol content means that literally, many of these beers are a meal in a glass all on their own. Made from copious amounts of Roasted and Black Barleys, our stout invites you to share a silky black body with hints of freshly pulled espresso from the coffee house, melding with dark bitter sweet chocolate from a Belgian Chocolateer and the ash of a smoldering fire on a dark winters night.
Snow Cap Ale Pyramid Breweries, Kalama, Washington Holiday Ale 7.0 % $4.00/16 oz. $13.50
A rich, full-bodied winter warmer crafted in the British tradition of holiday beers. This deep mahogany colored brew balances complex fruit flavors with a refreshingly smooth texture, making Snow Cap a highly drinkable and desirable cold weather companion.
Warm Welcome Ridgeway, England Seasonal Brown Ale 6.0 % $6.00/13 oz.
A classic Brown ale with, er, more balls. It’s 6% by volume, a little hoppier than your average Brown, and with a little extra malty sweetness. A Nut Browned worthy of the holidays, for sure. Keep an eye out for a little earthy funkiness in the beer, the result of a special multi-strained yeast.

Cordillera Blanca Sonoran, Phoenix, AZ White Chocolate Ale 4.7 % $4.00/16 oz. $13.50

07 Double Bastard Stone, Escondido, CA American Strong Ale 10.0 % $6.00/16 oz.
This is a lacerative muther of a beer. The evil big brother of Arrogant Bastard Ale. It is strongly suggested you stay far, far away from this beer. Those foolish enough to venture close enough to taste will experience a punishingly unforgiving assault on the palate. 'Course there's always the masochists...
11th Anniversary Ale Stone, Escondido, CA Black IPA 8.7 % $5.00/16 oz. $17.50
The inspiration for making a Black IPA (or should we say "India Black Ale/ IBA"?) has been over a year in the making. As soon as we wrapped up the brewing of the Stone 10th Anniversary IPA, we started brainstorming ideas for the Stone 11th Anniversary Ale, and the Black IPA concept was born. This was a challenging brew to formulate and achieve what we considered the ideal flavor balance of intense up-front hops with balanced roasted malt flavors, a deep, rich flavor, and a hearty bitterness. .
12th Anniversary Stone, Escondido, CA Chocolate Stout $5.00/16 oz. $17.50
Our Anniversary Ale this year stems from 2 pilot beers that were brewed by members of Team Stone. The first was Jeremy Moynier's incredibly delicious Oatmeal Stout, and the second was Jake Ratzke's amazing homebrewed Imperial Stout that had authentic Oaxacan chocolate added to the boil. We loved both beers so much that we decided to combine the recipes to make this year’s Anniversary offering: Stone 12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout.
Imperial Russian Stout Stone, Escondido, CA Imperial Stout 10.8 % 90 $5.00/16 oz. $17.50
Stone Brewing’s beers have developed legendary status over the years, but none so much as the heralded Stone Imperial Russian Stout which has become one of the highest rated beers in the world on both BeerAdvocate.com and RateBeer.com. Listening to a craft beer fan describe it you would think they are talking about much more than a beer. The words "decadent," "dark," and "delicious" are all common descriptors, with correlations to "coffee, black currants, anise, and chocolate" added in to the mix.
Old Guardian Stone, Escondido, CA Barleywine 11.3 % $5.00/10 oz.
Stone Brewing is known for a big attitude and even bigger beers. As a result, it is no small news that one of their biggest, Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine, is being released. A perfect example of all that is big and bold in beer, Old Guardian's malt character weighs in with a huge 11.26% alc.vol. and is accented by a near-critical level of hops.
Vertical Epic 080808 Stone, Escondido, CA 8.9 % 65 $5.00/16 oz. $17.50
Our seventh version of the Vertical Epic series was inspired by some of the wonderful Belgian beers that Steve and I tasted during our trips to Europe to brew “Stone California Double IPA” at the Shepherd-Neame brewery in Kent, England. This ale was served at the J.D. Wetherspoons pub chain during their International Real Ale Fest in March of 2008, and was great to brew and a very fun project, but that’s another story.
