    pulling the stone vertical in spring of '13. no doubt the early editions could be anywhere from sketchy to downright brutal, but what the hell, it's an adventure and an excuse for a bunch of buddies to get together and have some off the wall brew. starting the drinking at noon on a weekday? nicely played.

    Will there be a recap or replay for those that can't tune in live?

    So long as there is not much oxidation it should be fine, I've had some Belgian beers twice as old as this one with less alcohol and they tasted good.

    Cool this will be very interesting. I think it shows a lot of faith in how these beers held up for Stone to do this event. Hard to imagine them pouring a 'disgusting' beer for a whole group of people at a high profile event. I'll try to tune it but I also hope there's a replay on youtube or something.

    Congrats on that but I'm guessing watching people drink beer is not as enjoyable as watching people do other things.

    It would be even better if you hit him with one of those big inflatable hammers.

    How about you forcibly shave his face? I'd pay to see that.
