You Drink Stone Brew? Shame On You - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Croaker Dave · 01-24-2012, 06:55 PM

I've spent a fortune on Stone brews over the years. My everyday beer is their Arrogant Bastard. And I mean every day.

I even have an Arrogant Bastard cycling jersey.

I see on their website that they claim to be stopping 160 metric tons of CO2 from going to the atmosphere annually. Uhhm, Stone, that's not a pollutant, plants love it, we all make it, it was 5 times higher than now during the dinosaur age, and it has no correlation to global warming. Zero. Zilch.

Stone Brewery seems to have an affinity for junk science environmentalist science. That's too bad, because there are soooo many good beers to choose from. Stone, "You're Not Worthy". Time to go beer shopping...

Stone Brew is over rated, and over priced. Sierra Nevada, and Ballast Point for me. Email sent to them.

Noble · 01-25-2012, 06:56 AM

Just sent em an email.....Stupid is as stupid does.

PAL · 01-25-2012, 08:05 AM

Wow, the surfrider connection... The fake middle of the road. Horrible.

Former stone drinkers, give Ballast Pt a try. They fish; they aren't poseurs.

Siebler · 01-25-2012, 08:17 AM

Ballast Point is the only thing you will find in the OEX keg.... Shouldnt be a hard switch for a bunch of fishermen to make.

I love Sculpin and Bigeye but there isnt a beer the brew that isnt great.

467echo · 01-25-2012, 11:27 AM

They just lost me as an occasional customer. I love me some Ballast Point YT, just wish it was more avaiable. If i could get some BP at the same price as a case of Stone @ Costco I'd drive to there store once a week. So whos gunna put the info on a flyer and tape it to the Costco pallet of Stone?

Stone Brewery!!

That is a great idea. Maybe we could all hit our local stores and do it at the same time. Kinda like a flashmob....but with purpose!

Mr. Adventure · 01-25-2012, 12:07 PM

Balls, I love their hoppy stuff. Need to tell my local liquor store to get more ballast.... or brew my own again

i too would occasionally drink this beer. NO MORE

JoeBeck · 01-26-2012, 01:24 PM

I sent my letter to both email@stonebrew.com and samantha.loveira@stonebrew.com

Croaker Dave · 01-28-2012, 05:40 PM

Just got back from BevMo. I told the beer guy the story about Stone and MLPA and he was really interested and wanted to hear the whole thing. He wanted to hear more about how to land a big fish on a kayak, too. He got me some Ballast Point Big Eye, Calico, and Yellowtail. I'll save the Sculpin for next visit. He handed me a few other beers, too, that he said were great. Also suggested that I have the porter with a nice steak, so I stopped at Costco on the way back for some filet mignons and appetizers. That was fun! Now I gotta get busy drinking and eating.

Island Brewery. Carpinteria, ca. Just great brews. No politics..

yakman619 · 04-23-2013, 06:52 PM

Ballast Point is where its at anyway. It doesn't get much better than a Sculpin IPA after a day on the water.

LPetro · 12-14-2013, 04:51 PM

That's so unfortunate, I"m a big lover of hoppy Stone beers, and was going to make their brewery my first stop on my 21st next month. Due to a recent infraction I received, from the life guards in La Jolla for my lack of proper knowledge of the MLPA zone (drifting into the MLPA with a line out), I haven't had the best taste in my mouth for MLPA regulations. I defiantly won't be washing that taste out with a Stone now!
P.s. If anyone on this forum could give me some advice when it comes to fighting this citation I would appreciate it. I recently started ocean fishing, an I know my mistaken knowledge of the zones is no excuse but it sucks getting a ticket making bait..

Ballast is the best beer out there. I have stopped buying any of the other brands. I had one Yellowtail beer and that was all I needed. A beer that is great and supports the sport I love so much, how can you go wrong with that.

E-Mail sent and friday happy hour will be moved to a new location from now on.
