Perhaps our last in this non-series series. Jim once more dives into the unknown realms of his fridge. This week it’s Stone Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale.
News
Believe it or not, one of the hottest items out there right now for theives are metal kegs. With the price of some metals skyrocketing, the kegs are often worth more than the deposit that is put down on them. A pair of sheriff’s deputies in El Paso, TX were eating breakfast when they saw two men, one chasing after the other, running across a parking lot. The police followed and found out that the man being chased had just robbed a beer delivery truck for the empty kegs.
Refrigerator Roulette – Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale
- Well here we are at week three of Refrigerator Roulette. For those of you who don’t know what is going on, well the basic gist of it is that Jim reaches in the fridge and grab a beer. Usually Jim’s fridge has at least 10 different types of beer in there, so it can be fun.
- This week, we are going to be doing one that we actually did before, we just didn’t record it correctly. But hey, that happens. It is Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale from Stone Brewing Company in Escondido, California.
- Part of the reason that we don’t review too many of these beers is that I can’t get them in Chicago. That being said, you can get these beers from coast to coast these days and they are coming to more and more markets.
- Arrogant Bastard Ale is probably considered their flagship beer, with its slogan being “Your not worthy”. The generally are seem as some of the bad boys in the brewing industry, brewing things that they like and not necessary things that have mass appeal, however they do sell very well.
- Tonight’s beer, Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale, is the regular AB just shoved in an oak barrel for a while. It weighs in at 7.2% which is the same as the regular AB.
- It pours a reddish color with a creamy white head, with the aroma of citrusy and sweet all at the same time. The taste is rather aggressively hoppy, however the oak does come through with a little bit of a vannila taste.
- I will say this beer is not for the beginner and only give it a shot if you are up to it.
Next Week
Who knows, hopefully we will be doing the American Ale that we have been talking about, but if not we may talk about Momma Mia Pizza Beer.
