Jägermeister and Stone collaboration

San Diego’s Stone Brewing’s Arrogant Consortia has announced its latest: Jägermeister Arrogant Bastard Ale, an American strong ale brewed in collaboration with the makers of Jägermeister.

“These two fiercely independent forces come together; it is such a unique and iconic result,” Greg Koch, Stone Brewing and Arrogant Consortia co-founder, said in a video announcing the beer.

Jägermeister Arrogant Bastard Ale is brewed with some of the 56 herbs, roots, fruits and spices found in Jägermeister, a German liqueur. The new beer was brewed at Stone’s Berlin facility before being imported into the States. This brewery in turn has been bought by Scotland’s BrewDog after Stones experienced numerous problems in trying to open it.

The 20,000-bottle batch of the limited release beer rolled out a few days and is available throughout Arrogant Consortia’s distribution network. Each bottle checks in at 8.5% alcohol by volume (ABV); suggested retail price is about $20 (CA$26.60) for a 750ml bottle.

“I look forward to your thoughts, as long as they’re ‘hell, yeah,’” Koch said in the video.
