I recently tried Magic Hat #9 due to some recommendations on this forum. I found it at my local liquor store and bought a 6 pack. It was good, but not great. Last night I was at a local bar that had it on tap, it was GREAT!!!! I also notice this every year with SA Oktoberfest(my personal favorite beer(on tap at least)). I buy a 12 pack and it is just OK. But when I go to the bar to get it it is GREAT! I have also noticed this with a lot of other beers too.
My guess would be freshness. The kegs are moved through the system faster there for taste better on tap. While bottles sit in wearhouses longer and have a longer trip to the store/bar.
Anyone know why?
