Founders Harvest Ale on tap--was it fresh?

I'd be a little skeptical, seeing as I haven't heard anything about its release for this year. I'm sure a quick e-mail to Founders would be the best way to find out. I hope it is a fresh batch though, it's my favorite harvest ale.

 

I too would be skeptical. Founders is normally very regimented about their releases.

 

What restaurant do you speak of?

 

well.........how did it taste? fresh?....old??

 

i would be a lot its old. biga is a fairly new place and dont think they would be getting any early release favors especialy with all the bigger beer bars in the area

 

This is an awesome beer. Had it for first time last year, drank a bunch of it that was a month or two old. Found some more that was about 3 months old, it was still good but had definitely fallen off. Year old stuff must be terrible. You should say something to management at that place.

 

tell them to check the side of the keg.

 

New means new to them as in the restaurant recieved it from the distributor. That dist. Has tried to give me 9 month old ipa's 2 times before. I no longer do business thu them .

You can tell if harvest ale is fresh just by taste alone ( and I don't care if you ever had it before)
It's a great beer / just a bit pricey

Cheers

 

Yeah that's a solid year old.

 

yuck, a year-old wet hopped beer. the biggest shame is that beer is soooo very tasty when fresh. sorry bro

 

Are you talking keg wise? Because the most I've ever paid for Harvest Ale is $9.99 a four pack.

 

A lot of servers have "lied" to me before but they probably just don't know. Maybe it was just tapped so they figured it must be new.

 

Yeah. Kind of missed the whole point of that Fresh/wet hopped thing. Sheesh, what a waste.

 

At least they weren't bragging about serving old beer:



This made me cry a little bit.
