I drank AB and Racer 5 for years as I slowly realized my love for all things hoppy. AB haschopsvand malt in a good balance to each other..

Not to get off topic but I really need to try a Racer 5. It's easy to get around here and one of those beers most IPA drinkers seem to like. I had one long before I developed a taste for IPAs so it's time to try again.

2 years ago, it was by far my fav of all IPA's. Now, it's just a very good beer. I'm still changing it seems even at my old age.
My brother got a few last week and we enjoyed them but all of us said our taste buds have been hopnapped!

You are NOT alone! I think the Arrogant Bastard is a pretty awesome brew. So simple, yet so difficult to replicate.

When I first found Stone beers being sold at the local beer store I picked up a bomber of Arrogant Bastard, Smoked Porter, and Ruination. The next day I split the 3 of them with my friend. I fell in love with the Ruination and the Smoked Porter. My friend loved Arrogant Bastard so much he had it on tap at his wedding. I liked Arrogant Bastard but it didn't seem as good as the others did to me.

Now Lukcy Basrtd on the other hand was a really good batch.

Damn...I'm a little late to this. Yes sir, you are a wordsmith. And Hopnapped is one awesome name for your next IIPA concoction.

I know this post is old but how could I have missed this? I have one at home and haven't tried it yet but please tell me many of you also missed the name on the bottle....
Lukcy Basartd. I know there are word games online with lots of mispelled words and some people go right passed it (I'm one of them) and I guess I did on this one as well.
Even with my glasses on, with all the reviews I've seen of this beer, I never noticed it until now.
