First of all IMHO Stone is one of the premier breweries in the U.S. We don't get it here in FL but I have had some shipped here and have sampled some upon my visits to my home state of NJ.

Any of the higher alcohol content (ABV) beers such as Barleywines, Double IPA's and Imperial Stouts will age well as long as you can maintain them at cellar temp (around 55*F or so).

I've sampled Barleywines and Imperial Stouts that were 10 years old or more and they are absolutely delicious. If you can find the self-discipline to age them it is worth the effort.

If your ever in San Diego stop by the brewery/store/restaurant. You can take home growlers, kegs and cases from there too. I also hear they are building another shop/restaurant in the Inland Empire.

I'll be heading to the brewery sooner rather than later, that's for sure. I thought for some reason Stone was out of state.

I've never had this beer but I've been impressed with Stone's offerings. Unfortunately it's nigh impossible to find on this side of the pond so I only get to enjoy them twice a year.
