This is a huge day around the world. August 8th, 2008 is the start of the Olympic Games, the start of preseason football for Philadelphia and Pittsburgh (Go Steelers!!) and in the beer world it's time for a new Vertical Epic from Stone Brewing. This year's Vertical Epic 08-08-08, the seventh in the series, is a Belgian style golden ale. The epic series started with 02-02-02 and each beer is designed to cellar until sometime after 12-12-12. After Dec 12th, 2012 the idea is to have a vertical tasting of the entire series. Each beer is unique and will continue to change through the years which will make for an interesting comparison after the release of the final beer in the series. However if you are a late comer to the epic idea or just can't wait Stone won't mind if you pop the cap on a few beers now and enjoy. Check out the STONE EPIC 08-08-08 link for more information.
