Currently, I am in San Diego so we had to visit Stone Brewery. We took the brewery tour and then ate at the bistro enjoying some of their brews. It is a real nice facility which is fairly new. I even went to a presentation on malt and milling which was interesting and enjoyable considering the 4 pitchers of beer at the classroom.
My favorites to date are the IPA and I just now poured a Ruination Ale which is probably the most hop flavored beer I have ever had. It is so full of hop flavor that it has been a revalation to my palate. They brew in 12,000 gallon fermentors and for the IPA I do believe the tour guide said they dry hop with a whopping 300 pounds of hops. Just unbelievable.
So I see big flavor,aroma and high dry hopped brews in my immediate future upon returning home.
