Pros
- I haven't had one in quite a while but it was one of my favorites when I lived in southern California.
- Love that beer.
- But what an awesome beer
- I have 3 left from my latest 6 pack. I love them! ... I assured him it was great
- or just go big and get an Arrogant Bastard! ;)
Cons
- Parent context: Being tongue-and-cheek and edgy about your beer being absolutely vile to 99% of people doesn't make it any less ridiculous. It's truly an awful beer propped up by marketing and a niche following. Reply: On today's episode...
- To watery for my taste
- It is a gimmicky beer with too many hops in it.
- Tried an Arrogant Bastard from Stone Brewing a few months ago. It tasted very skunky so I figured it went bad. ... Drinking it right now it definitely tastes better than the last one but still has a strange off taste.
- Whew, Arrogant Bastard was one of my only drain pours. Took me by surprise because it wasn't labeled as an IPA, just an ale.

I still remember my first Arrogant Bastard, I was 19 and snowed in at college right before winter break. 16 years later I still love it and long for more bitter options on the shelves.
When it came out it was a real punk rock statement of a beer. It's a bit of an anachronism today but personally I'm glad it still exists.
Yes. It's a spectacular beer, but aggressively hopped and meant to be very bitter. If it's fresh - and you should check if it's 90 days old or less - it's great.
