Notes:
And as Stone Ruination IPA turns 10, we thought we’d make ourselves a nice little birthday present to celebrate. But what kind of selfish jerks would we be if we didn’t share?! Behold, the Stone Ruination Tenth Anniversary IPA. (Clever name, eh? That’s why us folks in the Marketing Dept. get the big bucks!) It’s an amped-up version of Stone Ruination IPA, with a bit more malt to bring the abv up from 7.7% to 10.8%, and a very heavy dose of hops. “Classic” Ruination uses 2.5 pounds of hops per barrel–which is more than double the amount we use in any other of our core beers–but for Stone Ruination Tenth Anniversary IPA, we went double again, using an impressive 5 pounds of hops per barrel, including about a pound each of Citra and Centennial in the dry hop. (Hell. Yes.)

These big IIPAs have been my favorite beers at times. Lately, I find many of them to be too sweet from sheer gravity or too vegetable from trying to hop past the high final gravity. Stone' s Tenth Anniversary Ruination is almost one of these "too big to pull off" beers. Hell, it's drinks very different from Ruination, which is awesomely bitter but rather low gravity compared to many of today's DIPAs. But this beer, like slim few others I have had recently, pulls off HUGE without making a mess of itself. It doesn't taste like pumpkin or willow bark. It's not cloying. It actually pushes right up against the edge of disaster but doesn't O.D. It is huge, so I dont feel its relationship to Ruination, but its a damn well made beer.
