    If it's a 750 without glasses, it's a 2009 and a collector's item. If it's got glasses, then it's either a 2010 or 2011; none of the 2010s are dated, but the majority of the 2011s are. There is a slight chance that an undated glasses 750 could be a 2011, though, since they used up the last of the undated 2010 labels before moving on to the new ones.

    I haven't had any vintage IST lately, but generally speaking it ages extremely well. So, yes, it's good stuff!

    I did the same about a month ago, and I agree, it has aged very well.

    Its either 2010 or 2011 if it has the Groucho glasses. Black Rock in Fairfield had a couple a few months ago on the shelf at $15 if I remember correctly, so $20 for a vintage isnt too much of an increase.

    It's great. I was drinking it from the can on the Waste Haven beach yesterday. Just trying to live up to the beer's name!

    Hope you pulled up in a mobile home to the beach, or at at least an old-school wagon with side paneling!

    I thought everyone would get a kick out of this. I'm up in Rochester NY for the holiday and stumbled upon this at the local grocery store:
