Depending on how long you’ve been aging them. Not many beers truly last a 17 year aging.
Most are within the ten year window. Holler if you want any.
Sit for about a year but then I'm like, I need to drink these.
The Olde School Bwine I had started to taste like Sherry, which isn't surprising, but not what I was hoping for.
I just picked up a 2015 Bell's Third Coast which I have high hopes for.
In some aged beers it’s a good thing. In many it’s bad.
I’m not sure third coast is a beer that needs age. Typically you want low hopped, high ABV beers that are bottle conditioned and have the right amount of residual sugar. Barleywines and imperial stouts are best.
Beer isn’t wine and shouldn’t age more than a few years for the right beers. 10 years+ is too much for almost every beer. Thomas Hardy beers being the exception.
not the pale ale.
one to try right now. Do you know how that bottle was stored for the last 4 years?
I got it straight from Bell's Brewery, so I'm hoping they took care of it. They had 2015s of Expedition Stout too, that I'm kicking myself I didn't pick up either.
The current version pales in comparison.
Much better ingested orally.
That's quite the collection though.
