yes, certain beers store and age well, increasing the flavor of them ten fold.  I am told that backwoods, if you can make it 5 years, will destroy you.

So the anniversary weekend will be spent on the eastern shore.  Looking forward to visiting RAR and maybe ESBC in St. Michaels while hitting the oyster fest.  Any other suggestions?

one, bottle of wicked weed permeo, to also store for one to two years

you will develop some (how much TBD) additional funk and/or sourness, however you will lose out on the lychees.  that's the problem with fruit sours: the fruit will drop out.  your call!

Cool.  I will throw down a card game with my friends, and share it with everyone.

I have Backwoods, Vulver, and CEntral WAters Bourbon Scotch Ale. Three of the highest rated (bourbon aged) scotch ales. I want to do a side by side but am waiting for a friend(s) to invite themselves to sample with us, as I don't think my wife and I can handle them alone.

I cannot drink like I used to, for a while, which I am fine with.  I can consume one beer, now and again, and I am really starting to appreciate excellent beers for what they are . . . excellent in taste, and not so much only caring about getting fuckered up.

so with that in mind, I found the following from my local beer shoppee, and I purchased them

one four pack of founders harvest ale to share with a friend, who has never had it.
four, four packs of founders backwoods bastard, to store, for what I hope will be three to five years
one, bottle of wicked weed permeo, to also store for one to two years

thank you, for reading

nice score, for the sticks

My slumlord couldn't care... we have a jungle in the back now...

I just bought Lagunitas but I thought I was getting the IPA but got the PILS instead.. I had my kids with me picking up the pizzas so I wasn't very focused.. the six pack came with one Lagunitas STOOPID.. maybe htat is more promising


more news as developments warrant it..

maybe this should have gone in the "I have no life now" thread...


Didd anybody hear how IPA's are healthier?
