(Escondido, CA) – Some big news / follow-up to this week’s post regarding Stone Brewing…

We now know what is happening with those 210 346 184 (the ever-changing number!) Scotch Whisky barrels…and that is not even the half of it. The brewery announced that it will begin releasing 500ml bottles on a limited basis starting in July. The new series is dubbed, “Quingenti Millilitre.”

Per Stone’s blog post:

“Without further ado, our first ‘Quingenti Millilitre’ release will be…Ken Schmidt / Maui / Stone Kona Coffee Macadamia Coconut Porter Aged in Bourbon Barrels. Yeah, that’s right. We’re releasing that. All 672 bottle of it. Tentative release date: sometime in July.

[…] a small amount of 2011 Stone Imperial Russian Stout & 2011 Stone BELGO Anise Imperial Russian Stout—which will be released May 31st—is already resting gently in a variety of barrels.

But that’s not all, folks! We may well release Quingenti Millilitre bottles of our double dry-hopped beers or other unique treatments we dream up.”

In any case, bang it over to the Stone blog to see some barrel pics and the full details.
