Avery 20th Anniversary

that is a serious issue. Russian River specifically doesnt distribute Pliny unless the stores are going to keep them cold

 

It depends. Ben E. Keith keeps most of their craft beer refridgerated. Brown has just built a huge new refrigerated warehouse as well.

 

Because I have had both and actually had the Twenty fresh. Double Jack is better, especially now that the Twenty is 4 months old.

 

i know i picked up a bottle in early august and got my socks knocked off i could only imagine on tap

 

It's fared better on tap. Had some on 8/31 and it was much more like a fresh bottle than the bottle I had 2 weeks earlier.

 

I had XX at the Draught House I think the first week of August and it was damn good. I don't think I'll pick a bottle up though.

 

Picked one up at Sunrise, W Anderson Ln, Austin last week. Drank just fine to me. Benchmarks are said fresh Pliny, Enjoy By, Sculpin and Double Jack plus Maharaja. It's a dank, potent brew built to last a few months.

 

You think Sculpin lasts?!

 

I don't notice a huge difference in 2 month old Sculpin and 7 day old Sculpin. I think it holds up pretty well. Super fresh Big Eye on the other hand, is a wonder to behold.

 

Anything past 3 weeks on Sculpin is not just not good, but really bad IMHO. No other beer have I found that is that time sensitive.

 

My experience has been different but I have only been buying Sculpin in cans.

 

We don't get cans.

 

No worries. I'll drink all of your nasty old IPA's

 

Please do! It'll keep the fresh ones rolling in. My hero!
