DIPAs like Ruination and Pliny the Elder are my favorite DIPAs, hoppy without the candied aspect. I am guessing next weeks Ruination Anniversary beer is going to be heavy on the sweetness.Beer Roverhttp://beerrover.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437887117985617871.post-53098047422236710892012-06-04T22:45:32.400-07:002012-06-04T22:45:32.400-07:00Nice find!

Not that any beer needs a "label", but it's nice to finally be able to put one to this beer.The Hop Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506677895480495818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437887117985617871.post-41857388437001529782012-06-04T20:56:43.988-07:002012-06-04T20:56:43.988-07:00Hop Daddy,

No, Stone Ruination IPA wasn't the first double IPA..." I read that last fall.

I thought I heard or read something from Stone that Ruination was the first regularly bottled DIPA. By today's standards it drinks more like an IPA than a DIPA, and its abv is more IPA. I need to find the answer.Beer Roverhttp://beerrover.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437887117985617871.post-56272562590444563522012-06-04T18:05:15.918-07:002012-06-04T18:05:15.918-07:00I'll agree that Ruination is fantastic, but do...I'll agree that Ruination is fantastic, but does Stone consider it a IIPA? I always thought they classified it as an IPA.The Hop Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506677895480495818noreply@blogger.com
