Stone Brewing, Escondido, CA

Finally made it to the much-awaited Stone Brewery. We were a bit early
for the tour so we sat down at World Garden and Bistro for some
tasters. We had Oaked Arrogant Bastard, Old Guardian Barleywine,
Sublimely Self-Righteous, Vertical Epic 07.07.07 on cask, and the 13th
Anniversary Ale (an imperial red).

The tour was incredibly entertaining and cool to see a large craft
brewer's operations. Their fridge made us drool with bottles of 07
Imperial Russians and all the old Vertical Epics and ridiculous casks
like vanilla smoked porter (see Sarah with all the bottles of oaked
Arrogant Bastard and Levitation). The free tour was great and came
with tastes of their basic lineup and we both thoroughly enjoyed our
couple hours there. Next we headed down the road to Lost Abbey.
