    Cali guy here. Just traded for my 2nd bottle of Bell's Third Coast BW. Contemplating drinking it tonight, but before I do I gotta know: does it age for the better? The fresh bottle I had previously was already such a stupid smooth drinkable BW that I just can't imagine it getting any better with age. BA'ers with such experience, what say you?

    For the record, the bottle I have currently is from Sept '13

    Fuck yes. Best beer I had last year. Third Coast from 2009.

    INCREDIBLY well. If I remember, 2-3 years is prime, but like jae above, I've had 4+ year old bottles that were also stellar
