Give thanks. Share the love and stock up for the holidays with these unique sour bottles

Be the favorite at entertaining and gifting this season. Because taking a bottle of wine to holiday functions is so 2017.

Four times a year we give you first dibs at freshly bottled sours. Enjoy the fourth release of 2018 with these knockouts: 

Kiwi: We peel whole kiwis and add them to a barrel-aged sour base for fresh kiwi and tropical aromas that combine with floral and wine-like notes for a refreshingly tart, dry & tangy finish.

Serene: is barrel-aged on cantaloupe and Sechung oolong tea with jasmine for 2 months to provide a wonderful combination of tropical fruit flavor and floral-herbal aroma.

Sour Reserve #9: our Reserve is a blend of one, two, and three-year-old batches of our base blonde ale, Basis. This Gueuze-style beer is assertively tart and carries fruity notes and funky, earthy aromas.

Stone Brewing Co. in Escondido, California has unveiled the newest beer in its Arrogant Bastard line: Arrogant Bastard Metallic Stout is an ultra-roasty version of the brewery's forthcoming "corrected" version of the same beer.

In a similar vein to the usual brash product descriptions the Bastard line conveys, such as: "So what do we do with an out of spec brand new beer that we went ahead and canned a limited amount of and think is really f***ing good? We sell it."

This beer is a limited release that's only available from Stone's retail locations and online.

The full release from Stone Brewing's Arrogant Cosortia is below.

Dearest fans of Arrogance,

We canned up a limited amount of out of spec Arrogant Bastard Black Metallic Stout. 

Out of spec? Yep. Too strong in the roasty bitterness department. Thing is, even though this very first batch is not as planned, it's f***ing good. 

So what do we do with an out of spec brand new beer that we went ahead and canned a limited amount of and think is really f***ing good? We sell it. But we only sell it only to people who read this and say "I dunno what the corrected version is going to taste like, but this sounds pretty good to me," If that's you, keep reading. If not, return to your candy crush or whatever.
