Stone Brew Co....

<br><br>Here we are at the gates...<br><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e148/aranjaloca/IMG_0221.jpg" alt="image"><br>And the bar (note the engraving on the wall)...<br><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e148/aranjaloca/IMG_0223.jpg" alt="image"><br>The food matches Stone's beer caliber. Wild boar ribs and the remains of an elusive Oaked Arrogant Bastard...<br><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e148/aranjaloca/IMG_0225.jpg" alt="image"><br>The Shepherd's Pie is a standard...<br><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e148/aranjaloca/IMG_0226.jpg" alt="image"><br>The Lost Abbey's Red Barn. LA's Angel's Share can also be had...<br><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e148/aranjaloca/IMG_0227.jpg" alt="image"><br>Every visit requires the free tour for the five free beers that follow. Note the all-important skull and crossed bones...<br><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e148/aranjaloca/IMG_0230.jpg" alt="image"><br>The vats, my good men, the vats...<br><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e148/aranjaloca/IMG_0231.jpg" alt="image"><br>The stuff of which one sees at random during the tour...<br><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e148/aranjaloca/IMG_0232.jpg" alt="image"><br>And the fridge...<br><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e148/aranjaloca/IMG_0233.jpg" alt="image"><br>Having my growler refilled for another night...<br><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e148/aranjaloca/IMG_0236.jpg" alt="image"><br>Some IPA samplers for anyone who fancies one...<br><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e148/aranjaloca/IMG_0237.jpg" alt="image"><br>The outside dining patio...<br><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e148/aranjaloca/IMG_0244.jpg" alt="image"><br>And back inside at the bar.<br><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e148/aranjaloca/IMG_0239.jpg" alt="image"><br>Hooray for the tough-willed sober driver.

Sweet! Arrogant Bastard is a wonderful Ale!<br><br>Looks like an all day outing??? How long were you there?<br>

Oooh...er...from about 1:00 until 7:00.

Now that would be a dream vacation for me!!!<br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/chevyhoney/beerdrinking.gif" width="45" height="20">more please <img src="http://mmb.maverick.to/images/smilies/woohoo1.gif" width="100" height="28"><p><br></p>Rick

Mucho props for Stone Brewing. The pub across the street from the office has Arrogant Bastard on tap. I am envious of you sir.<br>
My version of your pilgrimage occurs every Thanksgiving when we go to Bend, Oregon for the holiday and stop by Deschutes Brewery. Tasty!

Cheers Ryan~ <br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/chevyhoney/beerdrinking.gif" width="45" height="20"><p><br></p>

That is a convention I would go to!!!!!!! Thanks for the pics and tour!!!

Let me know next time you make the trek! I am, like, so there!!

loves me some Arrogant Bastard. The brewpub looks outstanding

Count me in for the next trip as well. Love everything Stone brews, and the food isn't too bad either.

<blockquote>The Shepherd's Pie is a standard...</blockquote>Tell us the contents please! Looks dandy<br><br>

Awesome! My brother-in-law just told me there is now Double Arrogant Bastard! Must find!

There is a full menu posted on their site.

<br>The Shepherd's Pie contains ground beef, enough vegetables to make your mom happy and twelve cows' worth of cheese. The 40-minute tour is free and obligatory, as it concludes with free beers. Appetizers and lunch or dinner will run you around $25-30 per gut. A draft will run you $5-8 on average, while some of the limiteds and bottles are slightly more (i.e., the big Red Barn seen was $12 and an equal sized Angel's Share - incredibly rare anywhere else...think orange Double Header - will put you back $40). The beer list is updated every few weeks and is incredibly extensive. Of course, these aren't yellow fizzy beers; a half-day at the place will find you well-lubricated and you'll likely leave barrel-chested and bearded with a viking helmet replete with horns.<br>If anyone's ever interested in preparing a convoy, I'd be more than down. The very modern grounds and architecture are as impressive as the fare, along with walking trails and streams and such.

With a write up/review like that, how can one not want to go??<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/chevyhoney/beerdrinking.gif"><br>Nicely done!!!<br>

Oh, we got a mighty convoy, truckin' to the stonebrew!<br><br>
ROAD TRIP!!!

All right now, time to set up another trade day with a trip to Stone Brew on the side. Or maybe it's actually the trade day that will be on the side. I'll fly down for that.

Sounds like a great road trip crew!
