“It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth,” says the Arrogant Bastard label.
I have always enjoyed the audacity and the humor of Stone to flat-out challenge beer drinkers to expand their palatal appreciation of better beer. It's fun marketing but it's also true, if you meet them halfway you are in a club of real beer drinkers. Say what you want, this brewery is doing a lot to expand craft beer generally.

Well it beats building some idiot pro-team a stadium.

I'm not sure how I'd feel about that deal as a taxpayer. The plus side is you basically have a developed property not if Stone ever decides to leave. The article doesn't really specify how fast the city will get paid back.
