Beer of the week: Arrogant Bastard Ale

Stone Brewing Arrogant Bastard Ale, 7.2%ABV; 500ml — €4.70

Stone Brewing is one of the larger US craft brewers, founded in San Marcos, California, in 1996 and recently they opened a new brewery in Berlin — the first American owned craft brewer to open a European facility.

The brews tend to be hop heavy and Stone were one of the innovators of this style which has now spread worldwide.
