You are not worthy of this aggressive, legendary malt

A legendary, aggressively hopped American strong ale that challenges your palate with rich malt complexity and intense bitterness. This iconic brew delivers a massive punch of grapefruit peel, pine, and deep toasted caramel flavors.

The story behind it

The maker

Stone Brewing was co-founded by Greg Koch and Steve Wagner in 1996 in San Diego County, California. They championed the West Coast craft beer movement, dedicated to brewing aggressive, hop-forward beers that refused to cater to the lowest common denominator.

How it is made

Released in 1997, this beer was engineered to stand in direct defiance of the industrial, mass-market lagers dominating the era. It is brewed by Stone Brewing's Arrogant Consortia division, utilizing a secret hop and malt bill that delivers uncompromising depth.

From Escondido, California, USA
