Craft Beer in the City of Angels

It’s here: Stone Brewing’s beer to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their ground-breaking double-IPA. Ruination is one of John’s Top Five beers, and we are very excited to get our hands on a few bottles (case?) of this one-time brew.

The singularity holding the universe of craft beer together is personal preference.
