I bought two sixers from Anderson Valley tonight - Boont Amber and Hop Ottin IPA. I Went with the cans specifically to prevent against oxidation, but it was to no avail. Both these beers are ruined and it makes me sad because I've never had them before and I've heard nothing but good things.
It's just a roll of the dice when I get these west coast beers. Even when I know the date, i don't know how Much light or what temps they have been exposed to in transit. My best bet so far has been like 21A because I usually know the date and they're in cans.
There are some good breweries here out east for sure. But I'd be lying. If I said I wasn't jealous as a beer lover of you people out west. Don't take it for granted.
