Wow. 15 bucks for a six pack? I got mine for less than nine which is inline with what I normally pay for SN products around here (SE KS, NE OK). What are others paying?

I had never heard of Bigfoot prior to it popping up on this forum over the past week or so (I just got into homebrewing and craft beer drinking within the past year). With all the hype it was getting, I figured I needed to pick some up. The grocery store right behind my house has a fantastic selection and had quite a few 6-packs on hand, so I picked one up on my way home from work today.
My question is this: what sort of drinking schedule should I have for this? It is clearly a beer that can stand some aging, so should I drink one now and then one every 6 months until its gone? 1 every year? Drink the sixer now and get a second pack to age? What do other people do?
Ok, one more question: when aging, what temperature should I age it at? Room temp, basement temp, or fridge temp?
Finally saw some for sale and bierkraft in Brooklyn yesterday, $3.50 a bottle! I had to pass.
Smack that guy in the mouth.
I can't wait to try it. I've made a couple of calls to see if anyone in my area has it, but to no avail.
No matter -- the search for Bigfoot will begin anew in the morn!
I tried my first bigfoot last night and it was very rough around the edges. Serious hop bitterness (chinook?) and serious caramel malt flavor. Those were the two flavors that hit you like a ton of bricks....and alcohol. I think they bottled it very green.....it tasted like it went straight from the fermenter to the bottle with no bulk aging.
Is this a great barley wine as it stands? IMO, no.....will it be a great barley wine when aged properly...you bet!
Picked up a 6'er last night at the grocery store. It wasn't even in the system yet so the boy price checked it at 5.99/6-pack. I had to get some more at that price.
Just finished my first one. A little less hoppy then last year. The hops hit at first with a nice malty finish. Surprising easy to drink. Cheers!
I picked some up for just under $10 / 6er.
Great beer. This is my 3rd barleywine, and I'm glad this is great. My first was Southern Tier's which i loved. Then I had Founders Crumudgeon which I didn't like at all.
This is awesome. I'll be buying more.
I love the Curmudgeon but I don't think it's a barely wine.
is bigfoot bottle conditioned?
JThe top of my case says to keep it refrigerated but I see a lot of people claiming that you should hold onto it for atleast a year. Is it ok to stick it in a closet at room temp that long?
Not sure. I have a case stashed away as well. I wish you wouldn't have bumped this thread.... now I am going to have to drink one.
Does anyone know when the 2010 Bigfoot was brewed? As in what month? I emailed SN, but never got a reply. I've got a case stashed away, and I've got a bottle of their anniversary Barleywine as well.
