Epic – By name and by tale
I love a good story – especially when it relates to something I can eat or drink. Stone Vertical Epic has created just that. Look closely and see if you can figure it out:
Those are indeed two different beers in the same series. The Vertical epic was first bottled on February 2, 2002 (2.2.02) and there are plans to continue the tradition for 10 years with the final bottling scheduled for 12.12.12. All 10 beer(s) are meant to be tasted in a single evening – the idea is explained on the back of the bottle:
I am pleased to have two bottles each of 07 and 08 and am waiting patiently until this September. I`d love to stumble on a few of the 02-06 but it looks like I`m out of luck. If you find èm, pick me up a few bottles!
