Stone Imperial Russian Stout with American Oak on Cask

To celebrate yesterday's release of the 2009 Stone Imperial Russian Stout, we have just tapped a firkin aged with American Oak.  Come by the Pint and try a pint of this amazing stout, consistently ranked as one of the best imperial stouts on the market.

Try it alongside another Daily Pint favorite, Port Brewing's Old Viscosity, also available on tap right now (but not on cask).

Also being tapped today is another Stone favorite, a cask of Smoked Porter with Vanilla Bean.

And for you hopheads who missed it this weekend, we still have a little of the Bear Republic Apex left, along with some Blind Pig.

Limited Edition Stone Imperial Russian Stout glasses are available for sale at Beer Geek Shop.

Weekend Stone Cask Update

Right now we've got Oaked AB on cask, along with some Smoked Porter with Vanilla Bean.  That stuff never lasts long, so once it's gone, we've got a couple more Stone casks ready to go.  Waiting to be tapped are Stone IPA with Amarillo, and the cask version of Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale w/ Columbus hops added (like it really needs more hops).  This is a black IPA that was brewed as their 11th Anniversary Ale, but they liked it so much, they thought they'd give it a new name and brew more.

Also, don't forget about tonight's Irish Whisky tasting.  If the turnout is anything like December's Single Malt Scotch tasting, you'll want to get here early!
