Stone Imperial Stout

Time to start catching up … Stone Imperial Stout is out. Although the brewery still calls this beer Imperial Russian Stout in its press release, the name on the bottle is simpler: Stone Imperial Stout. “Seems that the U.S. government felt by having the word Russian in the title it would confuse consumers that a beer made by a small brewery in North San Diego County was actually made in Russia,” is the explanation marketing coordinator Chris Cochrane gives in a company press release explaining the change.

Whatever the name, this beer is at the top of the lists at various beer rating sites and one that begs to be cellared.
