    I was at the store and saw a bottle of Maracaibo Especial from 2010 for 12.79. Is it worth buying?

    It's a really nice beer, but I have no idea how it ages..

    Outside of the Bam series, some may even debate that, picking up older Jolly Pumpkin is a pretty safe bet. I would not flinch if I saw that.

    Passed this beer up a few times; not sure why as I love most everything from JP. I'm enjoying de Viento for the first time right now. I may have to pick up Maracaibo next time I'm at the store.

    I picked it up and am enjoying it now. Figured it was my only chance to get it for a while since Shelton brothers does not distribute to MO anymore. Overly carbonated but hitting the spot.

    Fantastic brew! Glad to hear it ages decent, I've always wondered...

    Not to hate, but I'm sorry to see two things: 1) it's been poured into a pint glass (kill the pint glass) 2) it's a Twisted Pine pint glasss
