    I came across 2 bottles of 2011 Goose Island Fleur & 2 bottles of Avery Salvation. Trying to get more information on these beers.
    1. Should I just drink?
    2. Hold onto it longer?
    3. Are they tradable beer?

    Drink one Salvation and sit on the other one for a while. Fish around with the Goose Island and see what you can get.

    I don't think either of those beers have much if any trade value and they are both already aged a bit (I think). I say drink em!

    Is there really any room for regret if you drink them. I say drink 'em up. :slight_smile:

    Since you have 2 of each drink 1 and then you'll know what to do.

    I've found I enjoy beer the most when I drink it. That's just me though.

    The Fleur should be drunk within the next two-four days (you didn't mention the age and since that is a Retired beer its probably old and tired). After they are gone you can go to your first Salvation, keeping the 2nd for when you feel like having Salvation again.

    I sometimes pray....I chant.....I raise my face to the heavens and hope....that someday there will be a universal guide, a rule...nay...a law! that says if you've never tried a beer and you get even one bottle, drink the fucker!

    Drink one of each. If it is good, drink the others, if it is just okay and you think something might change, age it.

    I typically only age beers if I have at least tried it fresh first (though there are a few occasions where I age a beer without trying it because I know it is going to be too hot fresh).
