Stone as "bad boys" -- maybe from afar but not so. The "You're not
worthy" bit is not about that at all.

These guys are the single largest money raiser for Surfrider Foundation
annually as a result of their anniversary events as well as a hell of a
lot of other charitable events.

Suggest you have a look at their web site ( http://www.stonebrew.com )
and tell me what you find that portrays them as bad boys.

Do bad boys spend years petitioning the government to make the phrease
"Imperial Russian Stout" acceptable to ATF?

Locally, Stone's image among average consumers of "good beer" and beer
geeks alike is quite the opposite.
