Unboxing time! 🤘 Sara (Queen Va vox) and I just cracked open the Metal Warrior double album, CDs, and graphic novel on video.

Mark your calendars: official street date is July 25th! Pre-order at your local record store, plan to grab it from https://t.co/KmeNUu7hB6, or at the very least, dial up your streamer of choice it and crank it the $*&# up on release day!

Will you spin the vinyl, read the comic, or both? Tell us what you’re most excited for!

And…doh!…I missed the perfect “that’s what she said” moment…did you catch it? 🤣

@Fityeth I’d be wondering what’s gone wrong in my life that I’m going to Dubai.

[Greg Koch @StoneGreg]

@debledcedric There are more kinds of value other than monetary. (Though that’s an occasionally good measure.)

[Greg Koch @StoneGreg]

@Fityeth And cheers to you!

🧵 About Me — Greg Koch

Some people have been calling me a billionaire. That’s not true — nor do I particularly wish it was.

I care about building things that matter. Success can be measured in many ways that aren’t just money (though I get it can be a relevant yardstick to some).

@Danielhop55 @dom_lucre That guy is still not me. He’s been @Mansqwatch since birth.

[Greg Koch @StoneGreg]

@Hot_Pepper76 Steve Morse and Steve Vai, both in small clubs.

[Greg Koch @StoneGreg]

@FlagAndFire I’ve done all of those things…10/10. And yet, I’m not really ‘country.’ Only made short visits to the South, and all cities. It’s just called living life. Definitely don’t listen to modern country music, ever.

GM! Here's our latest "sticker week" vid starring @LING_HAUS hand holding a sticker pack and my very own iPad case and phone wallet that rock stickers with Pskydin, Va, Torq and Quanndamm.

Pick up your own @ https://t.co/icFs6Cj8U3.

@CaptainNFA A few potentially inspiring parts sprinkled in among several decades of just plain ol’ grinding!

[Greg Koch @StoneGreg]

@fawltytour Weird that we live in a time now where both what you said is true, AND that also so many people are intentionally TRYING to be arsholes.

[Greg Koch @StoneGreg]

I’m so glad that I grew up in a time when we didn’t know alcohol was so bad for us (even when consumed moderately and responsibly).

[Greg Koch @StoneGreg]

@Alienno455382 Pretty sure I’d be vibing righteously in that car. Or is it righteously vibing?

[Greg Koch @StoneGreg]

@Joker_On_Sol_ Very real. Always better with a great beer imo!

[Greg Koch @StoneGreg]

Tim, I’m with you. It was the second full time beer we released, and one of my favorites! I sure do miss it as well. From time to time Stone reproduces beers from the ‘archives.’ I don’t know when or if Stone Smoked Porter is being considered (I retired three years ago, so not as in the loop any more).

[Greg Koch @StoneGreg]

@NSPBeerBlog @NYRfan4ever That was quite some time ago! 18 or 20 years ago?

[Greg Koch @StoneGreg]

Dude. I GET IT. I cut my teeth on Rogue. I remember the time when original brewmaster John Mayer visited us at our original brewery in San Marcos…it was a BIG DEAL to me! I remember founder Jack Joyce (with whom I always had a fond and convivial relationship) grumbling to me that if someone sent him a bottle of Arrogant Bastard Ale ‘just ONE more time!’ 😂

I was sad to hear of the brewery’s closing. End of an era.

[Greg Koch @StoneGreg]

@JHopkinsSD Kind words! I always felt like I was just a part of the transformation, but happy and honored to have been a participant in the equation!

[Greg Koch @StoneGreg]

Oh, man. I’m guessing you’re meaning the best album that’s not Metal Warrior - The Crushed Souls of Our Enemies. Certainly it’s inarguably the best album TITLE ever! 🤘😎

Anyway, I’m searching my brain to work to give you a legit answer to your question. Sorry though, I can’t. There are so many greats. It’s just like the “what’s the best beer” question. Impossible to answer! The only valid answer is explore explore explore!

[Greg Koch @StoneGreg]

Thanks for that. All good. I get it…for my entire career at Stone I was used to people saying “you don’t make xyz beer any more, or you stopped distributing it to my area.” Only natural that people would continue to say things like that. The answer is still the same: breweries like making and selling beer that people buy…if people buy enough, xyz beer will continue to be produced and distributed! I can tell you that during my time Kris at Liberty Station had near complete autonomy, and that today he still does. The whole idea of that 10bbl brewery is to NOT be ‘the same’ but to constantly change it up. Anyway, thanks for the convo…looks like you’ve got a few great nuggets to open up and enjoy over the holidays. They aren’t getting any better! Cheers!

[Greg Koch @StoneGreg]

@ben_fellow95428 And to you Ben!

[Greg Koch @StoneGreg]

@Fityeth The normal curve.
