Hip Hops: November 2006 Archives

Double hops, double malt, double asshole beermanship in a bottle. You took too much too much mahn.

Only once a year do the fiends at Stone Brewing break out their meanest shit, the Double Arrogant Bastard, and that time of the year is now wusses.

When we took a trip south to their Brewery 2 months ago (which we have yet to finish writing about because of the blow-edness of our brains BTW) one of the vats we walked by was churning this double brew in anticipation for Halloween. Well, your costume may be in the closet, but the Double Bastard is ready so run to your nearest convenient beer locker.

Admittedly, this stuff is for the most part a toxic brew. It's overtly boozey, much sweeter than your normal Bastard (ironic huh) and way more bitter with a caramel malt flaave. However, as your mouth turns to accomodate it's harsh notes, there's something gut quenching about it. Perfect, for winter, perfect for druggie parties where you want to just dive in to your beer, perfect for really extreme beer tastings. Wrap up the night with this.
