This is an aggressive ale. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. We would suggest that you stick to safer and more familiar territory–maybe something with a multi-million dollar ad campaign aimed at convincing you it’s made in a little brewery, or one that implies that their tasteless fizzy yellow beverage will give you more sex appeal. Perhaps you think multi-million dollar ad campaigns make things taste better. Perhaps you’re mouthing your words as you read this.

At Stone Brewing, we believe that pandering to the lowest common denominator represents the height of tyranny - a virtual form of keeping the consumer barefoot and stupid. Brought forth upon an unsuspecting public in 1997, Arrogant Bastard Ale openly challenged the tyrannical overlords who were brazenly attempting to keep Americans chained in the shackles of poor taste. As the progenitor of its style, Arrogant Bastard Ale has reveled in its unprecedented and uncompromising celebration of intensity. There have been many nods to Arrogant Bastard Ale…even outright attempts to copy it… but only one can ever embody the true nature of liquid Arrogance!

Ladies and Gents, may I present to you, the laziest attempt at viral marketing on one of the slowest boards on 4chan.

As soon as I read the first sentence, I knew this was exactly from the bottle.

Arrogant Bastard is overrated and overpriced. It's good, but it's not worth the $. Which is pretty much my criticism for any Stone beer.

Only exception would be the Odd Year stouts.

Pretty much everything they do is better than Stone's equivalent. I like Xocoveza and the grapefruit IPA and Gotterdammerung but the rest is eh. Dogfish is much more consistent. That Arrogant Bastard label is pretentious as hell too.

I did pick up the elderberry beer they just came out with but I haven't drank it yet. Could be alright.

What faggots.

This beer is pretty good. A bar near me has $3 anything happy hours, which is a great deal for Manhattan, and I always go and get 3 or 4 pints of arrogant bastard to get me buzzed for $12. Its the best beer they offer, though.

This was me the first time I bought it. I was freshly 21 with pretty much 0 beer experience. I wish I could've been a bystander in that.
On a side note, whenever I get an ipa and I'm with someone who has never had one or who only drinks macro stuff, I get them to try a sip and the face they make is pretty funny.

Ah, I see. Yeah, most of Stone's descriptions of their beers are kind of embarrassing.

>>6893790
I haven't had that one, but despite how critical i was in my original comment, I really did like their Chai stout this year.

Their Points Unknown IPA collab with Ecliptic was excellent.

Their labels are intentionally cringe worthy. It's a big joke. The writing is typically pretty damn funny when you read as a joke, like you should.

But yeah, their Chai was great. Got it cheap when I bought 4 3floyds bombers at my local store. My guy threw it in for an even 45. Pretty great deal.
