The Twelve Beers to Christmas - 8

The Twelve Beers to Christmas - # 8

Stone, Arrogant Bastard Ale

This bottle epitomizes what so many craft beer drinkers think, "This is an aggressive beer. You probably won't like it." And many would not, so the label continues with its bold assertiveness and tells the reader that maybe they should just stick to their, "tasteless yellow fizzy beer."

Arrogant Bastard is a strong beer with bold and complex flavors.  It has a solid malty base with  blasts of hops from all directions; aroma, bittering and flavor.  It sets the bar high by being so conceited a beer, but in the end we all know that it's only arrogant if you can't back it up.

In this segment, "The Twelve Beers to Christmas" I will be sharing a beer each day leading up to Christmas.
