Description
Founded by Greg Koch and Steve Wagner, Stone Brewing has come a long way since opening in San Diego County in 1996. Now the ninth-largest craft brewer in the U.S., we operate brewing facilities on both coasts – Escondido, California and Richmond, Virginia. On top of making badass beers for over two decades, we operate restaurants and tap rooms across three continents as well as the largest craft-centric beer distribution business in the U.S. Our beers are available in all 50 states and more than 40 countries worldwide.

Batch 01. 500ml corked bottle. 2015 series? But vintage 2014?? Beer name: fyodor's Classic. Dark bottle from smakPiwa.pl. 13% nie za wielka piana ale fajnie ciemna skorupy orzechow wloskich. Ciecz czarna nie przejrzyste, mocno barwi szklo. Zapach malo intensywny mocna i gorzka kawa z lyzeczka kakao bez cukru, tak szalenie wytrawne, czekolada z 90%kakao zalana espresso. Smaczne ale bez wiekszego wymiaru by mozna mowic ze piwo wybitne, ocena druzgocaco zawyzona. Raczej zawod za taka cene. Taste and drink in November 2023
