Shut off valve date for Celebration?

i believe late october/ early november. Its a big malt bomb reguardless but its probably spent now.

 

Drinking 11/25 at the moment.

 

just cracked one open... still delicious!

 

Opened one from 10/24 on Tuesday - enjoyed the celebration in my mouth.

 

October packaged Celebration isn't drinking the same as it was in November, but still better than 80% of the IPAs on shelves.

 

Finished off my 12-pack of the season tonight. Definite fall-off, but still a mighty fine brew. Also wrapped my 6-er of TIPA tonight; another fine beer that still came across with big hop flavor, even if a bit past its prime.

 

I have seen nothing past latter half of November and the majority was early November.

 

My Total Wine had a bunch yesterday, I drank so much the past few months I passed on it. I don't want to ruin the specialness for next year.

 

Soon I'll be stocking up on 12 packs of it and I'm probably going to see if I could get another sixtel of it for the kegerator before winter is over.

 

But can you still taste this year's spice?

 

pretty sure i had a Dec 4 last week

 

Still drinking delicious

 

Thanks for the reminder, need to grab at least one more 12 pack before its all gone for the season.

 

Judging by your avatar, that seems like a good idea!

 

I've drank it as late as June & still liked it. But that was about 8 years ago & I don't care what anyone says, that beer varied year to year, whether or not the ingriedients stay the same...

 

He already did, in a previous thread:

 

As has been mentioned by others, Celebration tastes much better with age then many other IPAs. It does indeed suffer some drop off in aroma/flavor but it is still quite drinkable with a few months of age.

Cheers!

 

You thief.
