My favorite Stone beer is Oaked Arrogant Bastard. The 8pm session would be lovely.
Arrogant Bastard Ale! Always a pleasure to find it on tap!
Would prefer 8pm session if I win (fingers crossed!)

Stone Brewing Co. and Naja’s Place will be popping off for LA Beer Week! I need me some Arrogant Bastard Ale at the 3pm session! Thanks again! :D

Sublimely Self Righteous 8pm!
Caroline, you are the best crackhead in the world! How did you know that I love Naja’s? They have the best beer events! Recently they introduced me to Stone’s Smoked Porter (and Pinkie’s BBQ)! They also served me a Stone Smoked Porter ice cream float that was pretty nifty too!! If I am a lucky crack recipient, I am taking my Mom. She will be visiting from Colorado and she would like to be introduced to the Stone goodness! Either gig is good, but the later 8pm time would work best for me! Thanks, and good luck everyone!
Oaked Arrogant Bastard sounds great! Sign me up for the 3pm running please. Thanks Caroline [not a crackhead]
My favorite Stone Brewing beer is their Smoked Porter- I would live to attend the 3PM session
Lucky Bastard (ie. Lukcy 13asartd) has to be my favorite Stone Beer. I would totally rock the 3pm session.
A tall, frosty glass — or several short tasters! — of Double Arrogant Bastard Ale would end my day perfectly at 8 PM Session.

I always love the anniversary ales, especially the recent 14th anniversary Emperial Ale (IPA). Free for the 3PM Session!
My fav Stonebrew is the Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale, and would love to drink some @3pm!

My favorite Stone beer is Stone Russian Imperial Stout and I would love to go to the 8pm session! Thank you!
I love the Ruination Ale. Great with food or on it’s own. Big Flavor, Big Beer

A Cali-Belgique or Vanilla Smoked Porter would be lovely! 8 PM session please!
I love Naja’s Place! They have ALL the best beers! The Stone Brewing Co. Cali-Belgique IPA is so smooth, not to hoppy at all!! Again, If I am your lucky crack recipient, I am taking my Mom. She will be visiting from Colorado and she would like to be introduced to Naja’s and the Stone goodness! Either gig is good, I work Monday (but will call off early of you wanna send me to LA Beer Week’s Kick Off!), or 8pm would also work for me! Thanks again, and good luck Crackheads!
I love Stone Brewing Co. Beer especially Oaked Arrogant Bastard, 2010 Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine Aged in Bourbon Barrels, Stone Imperial Russian Stout and I’d like to try all of their collaboration releases, i.e. Jason Fields & Kevin Sheppard / Tröegs / Stone Cherry Chocolate Stout.
I prefer the earlier session at 3 p.m. for this special LA Beer Week Kick-off event at Naja’s Place.
I am a big fan of Stone’s Cali-Belgique IPA. I’m game for 8pm!
I loooove Cali-belgique and smoked arrogant bastard! Stone is the most amazing and innovative brewery in the world. World Bristo is heave on earth.
Either session (same as above)
Cali-Belgique goes well at a 3pm session.
I love the Stone Ruination IPA! 8pm please
Stone IPA FTW @ 8pm.
Stone is such a great place & brewery. I enjoy the Guardian Barley Wine. I would love to taste some at Naja’s.
Or the Saison. I prefer evening boozing. 8pm for me!
I love Stone’s porter. So good! 8pm
My favorite has to be the Kona Coffee Macadamia Coconut Porter, buuuut I would love to enjoy an Arrogant Bastard at the 8pm session!
still trying, because I cant go wrong with a Stone brew to kick off my birthday week with my mom (we are born the same day!)!! I hope i get to go to this amazing event and taste many special brews! THAT would be a sweet birthday kick off!! Thanks, and either time will work for me, but I prefer later…
Thanks for playing, everyone! I’ve picked the winners. If you didn’t win this time, you can still buy tickets for the event!
