    It was apparently their last 5 gallon keg from an old batch and it was *still* damn good. No 23 hour rule with this beer, hell even a 6 month rule.

    I got two conflicting stories on it, one said it was the batch they brewed for CBC, another is that it was from last July. Still had a huge nose, and basically identical taste. I was amazed at how well that beer holds up.

    Not sure if it's still there. I drank 30oz of the stuff =)

    Went up there on Sunday for the first time w/o knowing about it, and totally lucked out.

    It was the first I'd had it (just moved to the SD area) and basically thought it was one of the best beers I'd had in a long time.

    I was impressed with all of their offerings, looking forward to getting back there soon!

    Fresh batch should be soon! With this ancient batch fresh in memory, hopefully I can mentally compare.

    Just got back from the brewery, needed to refill some growlers. Had two glasses of Expo. So good. Really can't wait for the fresh batch. What a great surprise.

    Im still pissed that traffic kept me from making it there Friday night. But then again, knowing my luck it was probably tapped on Saturday and I would have missed it anyways.

    Rumor is there is a batch in the fermenter. No clue if they will sell any to go at all. I'd suspect very short notice as Pat said in his blog.
