Thanks Zaz... good points. For that value I will definitely savor it myself. I had a couple thoughts of how to best enjoy it: 1. Try to get my hands on a variation of years (1, 5, 10, 15, etc..) and do a flight tasting with a few others 2. Continue aging the beer (which I am keeping in a...

Hello all, I am looking for some advice or even a "poll" of sort... any opinions would be appreciated and may come in use in the near future. I eluded to this in a post about two years ago but did not get much information so I am trying again. So about three years ago I won a 1st place raffle...

With Xmas around the corner I am looking for a gift idea for a fellow beer head. I am looking to buy him some sort of a power washer for his many 32oz and 64oz growlers that he uses frequently, but am having trouble finding what I am imagining online. I would greatly appreciate if anyone...

Let me preface this by stating that I am not necessarily looking for an immediate trade. I live in the Tampa Bay area and have a few contacts at Cigar City. I frequently have access to Marshall Zhukov and any other Cigar City offerings to include their seasonal offerings. Right now I can get the...

I failed to mention that thanks to great distributing down here I can also get my hands on Founders and Six Point! (Just the releases distributed here though... nothing fancy)

Hey there all, I am looking to get me hands on some Ithaca Brewing (NY) brews. Though I would be happy with several things, I am specifically looking for the "Box o' Hops" variety pack that they recently released. I would be interested in trading for maybe a couple of the packs. I live in...

"It would be so much easier to distill whiskey"

This may not be the worst craft beer, but maybe the most disappointing: Almost everything by Sea Dog brewery They recently opened a brewery in the Tampa Bay area and I went to enjoy a couple flights, excited to try it off the tap and something other than the Blueberry ale... other than...

I can honestly say that Rogues Bacon Maple beer is the ONLY craft beer that I have poured out. I literally could not drink it. Worst craft beer ever... I'd rather drink a Bud Light. Another terrible beer: Billies Chilies. I understand its not going to be an everyday sipping beer, but really...

My last batch was a dry hopped Apricot Wheat beer... I wanted that floral citrusy aroma without a lot of the bitterness. I dry hopped with an ounce of Falconner's Flight in the secondary and it came out great! My only advice would be to not overdo the hops, as they can quickly overpower your...

Well I am stoked to have this 1994... I won't drink it any sooner than the 20 year mark. Wow, a 20 year old beer. I will definitely pair it with a newer batch when the time comes and will document it accordingly. Probably haven't been a whole lot of 20 year variant beer comparisons before! haha

I recently posted a similar, yet different, post in another forum but was wondering if anyone knew where and/or how to best research the value of a specific beer? I stumbled upon a 1994 bottle of Samichlaus Bier in a beer auction yesterday (paid $20 - minimum bid). Not that I am planning to...

oops... here is the image, identical bottle style but different year

SO I am trying to determine if I stumbled upon something great or not.... I was at a Beer Festival yesterday that had a silent beer auction. With 15 minutes left, I noted that for auction was a bottle of the Swiss Samichlaus Bier that was bottled in 1994. The minimum starting bid was $20 and...
