Aging Beer?

Bubba - NJ · 11-16-2010, 07:31 PM

I have a St.Bernardus Christmas Ale from '09 that I can't wait to drink on Christmas Eve with my father , it was amazing last year . I have some Brooklyn BCS from last year that just doesn't seem as good now but I'll revisit it . Chimay Premier is really good fresh but it gets to OMG after only 1 year of rest . Wish they made a Bomber of it like the Blue label .

They do make the Chimay Premier (red) in the 750ml.

I've seen the blue in those bottles.

I saw the red in 750 today. The store had a white red and blue label Chimay's in 750 for $11-13. I bought 2 St. Bernardus. I plan to revisit in 5+ years.

I did not see a brew date on the St. Bernardus. The Delirium's I bought last week were dated Feb 2010.

Bought a bottle of Lost Abbey Serpent's Stout with the intention of aging 2-3 years. Thougths?

The Blue label comes in a huge bottle , sells for around $30.00 here . It would be nice if the Premier (red label) came in that size also . I usually only buy the Premier in the 750 ml size .

I was at a liquor store last night and they had a couple bottles of Rogue Imperial Stout from 2007. It seemed strange because they don't have much of a beer selection there, and they were tucked on an end cap with the Chimays.

It didn't look like the usual Rogue bombers with the painted labels - It was kind of frosty and gray and dated prominently on the bottle.

It was $15/bottle, so I didn't get one.

Should I go back and pick one up?
