My sister is having a baby in June and I would really like to brew something that would age until his/her 21st birthday. Any suggestions?

A big mead might work. Using oxygen-absorbing caps....

It's my understanding a big mead could make it to 10 years but IDK about 20. Some wine styles age better than others, but I'm sure there's a wine style you could make that would peak flavor at 20 years (talk about a killer gift!)

If you're going brew your own, a mead or wine.
If you want to go commercial, try a port, people do this with ports all the time.

I read somewhere that the Carlsberg Vintage no. 3 should age well for 50-100 years (???!!! it even says so on the bottles, reportedly!) --

so if you have the facilities to do something like this then maybe it'll age fine for 21 years? From what I've read they pushed this beer to 15,8 % using several yeast additions. I don't know other details except what you find by googling.
The other posters are probably right in suggesting mead, wine or port!

you could brew it a few months before he/she turns 21. might not be as special as a 21 year old beer but will still be good
