BR: Stone Old Guardian Barleywine

Since it's the season of the barleywines out in the WARM West, I've
been sampling a few of the regulars and a few of the not so regulars.
Bigfoot by Sierra Nevada is ok. Foghorn from our friends at Anchor is
pretty good. Old Guardian from the genuises at Stone kicks ass. It's
so smooth, the only way you can tell it's 11.26% is the mellow glow it
applies, starting about halfway through a bomber.

My first bottle sure tasted good, I have a feeling it was because of the
"I am very bitter and I like it!" pint glass I drank it from. I'm going
to give myself a little more time to enjoy the next one because 1 pt 6
fl oz of 11.26% gets me pretty f'ed up:

at last week's trail work I brought about six different Stone brews.
Everybody's favorite was the 10th anniversary IPA out of AB, DB, OAB, IPA
and PA. I sure hated to share that 10th but it was all about the trail....

Now to see if Magnum's has the OG

oooohhhhhhh donut (QHS)

I picked up 4 bottles of OG last night (cha ching....) and had one with my
grilled pork, sour dough and taters. What a smooth beer. You were spot on
with the "mellow glow" half way through. I think I was sh*t faced by the
last drop and passed out in my chair only moments later.

Life is good.

Stone is tough to find in Phoenix in quantity. Places like AJ's or Trader
Joe's carries limited samplings but I did manage to find a higher end liquor
(and, unfortunately...smoke) shop that carries the available selections.
I've also had difficulty finding Stone in 12 oz. bottles so once a growler's
been opened it has to be consumed and at 11.26% alcohol.........

If you have difficulty finding you can always visit their website
www.stonebrew.com and contact their local area rep for retail centers.

Yep, that seems to be my problem. Kimberly doesn't like good beer so I
have to drink it all myself. Actually, I can usually find 2 or 3 styles
of Stone in 12 oz bottles but they're not the ones I like.

When I was drinking lots of Foghorn at a certain bar they'd serve it
in sissy little 10oz glasses. I demanded to be served a manly pint.
They acquiesed with a smirk. An hour later they were mopping up the
floor with me. No drink makes me as slackjawed and dumbfounded as that
stuff. Funny thing is that even though I only lived a fifteen minute
walk away, I'd always wind up waking up in wierd places: bushes, porch
couches, Virginia Beach....
