Not only is today Talk Like a Pirate Day (yarrh!) but also, at least in the Triangle, it's apparently Stone Brewing Day. At least two places (Sam's and the Chapel Hill WFM) are now carrying previously unavailable in this area beers by Stone Brewing, from San Diego. I think I first heard about Stone on Wil Wheaton's site and I first bought one (Arrogant Bastard!) from the WFM in Vegas. I think sometime in 2007, I started seeing some of their beers at stores up in Staten Island. And now they're here in NC. Prices range from high (for sixes of Pale Ale and IPA) to ludicrous (for Ruination IPA and Oaked Arrogant Bastard) but all their beers I've tried are definitely worth the splurge.
