(Escondido, CA) - Stone Vertical Epic 08.08.08’s label approval went public this morning. The back label says that the new edition is a “very dry pale golden beer” that was inspired by a recent trip to Belgium. The Stone brewing team received a version of a “renowned Belgian golden triple” that was brewed with the addition of American hops and it impressed them enough to create a variation of it. [ed: Who knows where they went or wants to take a guess?][UPDATED]

The beer is #7 in the landmark series, one that beer people have closely been following over the last several years. The 07 version was a Belgian Strong Ale described as a hybrid of a tripel and a saison.

Some of those wise enough to collect bottles toward the earlier part of the series have been able to make hundreds off of the lineups they’ve collected so far on sites like eBay. Others may wait until December 12, 2012 to drink the beers when each of them are supposed to be at their peak.
