Stone 13th Anniversary Ale is coming to Florida

Hopheads, take note:

I spoke today with Scott Sheridan, Stone's Southeast regional brewery representative, and he said Stone 13th Anniversary Ale (see my previous post), which they call their hoppiest beer yet, will "most certainly" be coming to Sarasota-Manatee and the greater Tampa Bay area.

Whole Foods and Total Wine & More are two of the local stores that will have it, possibly by June 29, he said.

I asked if the beer would also be available in kegs. He said there would be a few kegs in the region, about six or seven, at select bars. He mentioned Mellow Mushroom, Brass Tap and Oldsmar Tap House as likely places.
