About
Since Arrogant Bastard Ale was first unleashed upon the unsuspecting public in 1997, the brand has been braving bold territory and upsetting dandies, milquetoasts and fizzy yellow beer drinkers in great numbers. Massively successful, and ever full of vip and vinegar, Arrogant Bastard Ale split off from the restrictive confines of Stone Brewing in 2015. And now, the brethren of Liquid Arrogance is free to explore, cavort and roam how they damn well see fit. For those Worthy few that wish to gaze upon the musings of Arrogant Bastard Ale, Double Bastard Ale, Bourbon Barrel-Aged Arrogant Bastard or other Bastard beers, follow along via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Arrogantbastard.com.

24.8.2019 München Olympiastadion. !!! METALLICA !!!. Konzert ist vorbei. Die Ohren klingeln, bin fertig, heiser, leicht dehydriert und stark unterhopft - aber glücklich. Also alles genau so wie es sein soll. 10.000 Autos versuchen den Parkplatz zu verlassen - puh, das kann noch länger dauern. Gute Freunde kommen und haben für jeden eine Dose kaltem Metallica-Bier dabei. Passt, da warten wir doch gerne. Enter Night Pilsners steht drauf - aber (freudige Überraschung) mit Pils hat das nix zu tun. Geht ganz klar in Richtung Craft Beer / Pale Ale, vermutlich sogar kalt gehopft. Sehr fruchtig und aromatisch hopfig - ohne zu bitter zu sein. Süffig und lecker. Meinen Freunden schmeckt es seltsamerweise nicht (gleicher Musikgeschmack bedingt nicht unbedingt gleichen Biergeschmack. Gut, bleibt mehr für mich und ich genieße jeden Schluck dieses herrlichen Gebräus). Ein Bier, das zuerst erstaunt und dann mit seinen Qualitäten überzeugt. Und vor allem einfach rockt (Devil Horns / Mano Cornuta).

Same reason you shouldn't age dogfish head 120 minute, this is 8.1% abv but tastes like 40% abv. Says drink fresh, but tastes just like 120 minute aged (I don't mind it fresh!). No more malt bombs! Found this in Europe lol.

Really the embodiment of the style. Strong and boozy, hoppy and bitter, yet remains balanced unlike 99% of these kinds of beers. Stone Berlin

500ml can. Poured a clear light straw colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, fake sugar, light citrus hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light, slightly watery, crisp, light fruity, light woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

Slightly hazy straw yellow in the glass. Bit of a head bomb, every pour lead to a 4 cm head sitting on top. Typical grassy, spicy hops in the nose. Good bitter hit up front, slight sweetness a hint of fruitiness, apricot, orange. Lasting bitter aftertaste. Nice but only vaguely pilslike, more like an IPA or hoppy lager (which is a pils I guess).

On tap at Sir Club, Odense. Cloudy copper with a lasting off-white head. Aroma of toffee, vanilla, and plenty of fresh oak. Sweet malty flavour with oak and vanilla.
