Good beers that turn fast.

One of my local bottle shops carries Two Hearted, but I've never seen it less than 6 months old. I made the mistake of buying it once, but never again.

 

two DIPAs that jump to mind are lagunitas hop stoopid and Port Mongo. both are awesome fresh and pretty cheap, but they just dont last long

 

Agree on pretty much every IPA, except there is one IPA in particular I actually like better when its not super fresh. Sip of Sunshine. For some reason I feel like the flavors balance out a little better after about a month. I've found I like it better in the 4 - 6 week range than the day it hits shelves.

 

Torpedo. Went to a new resteraunt for drinks only this past Tuesday. Poured the Torpedo into a pint glass and noted the lack of head. One taste and I knew it was old. Looked at the date on the bottle, 12-30-14, 5+ months. Told the server I wanted something else. Got a Stone IPA. Manager came over and asked about the problem. She looked in the cooler and all the Torpedo had the same dates. This resteraunt has only been opened 3 weeks, so they got this stuff from their distributor. I told her she should return it all and check the dates on any new shipments. We'll we.

 

That it does. I usually don't grab anything I see with a month on it already. I had a lucky moment and grabbed a sixer as they were stocking. It was like drinking an entirely different beer. Absolutely mind-blowing.

 

Nugget Nectar and Two Hearted

 

I totally agree!!

 

Oddly enough, I consistently prefer Enjoy By after the date billboarded on the bottle.

 

Enjoy by?
