Lagunitas - Born Yesterday 2016

Completely missed out on this, unsure if it even made it to Hampton Roads. Hopefully High Westified we actually get.

 

Had my last one Friday night, fell off a bit, but still very good. It turned super dank too, total weed-bomb.

 

Having one now, still quite tasty !

 

Bought the last six pack at my local TW. Currently drinking one, and can't wait for the 2017 version.

 

I drank my last bottle of a 10/17/16 batch yesterday. I stored this beer cold (refrigerator temp.) continuously since I purchased the beer. That bottle had a notable pungent/onion-like quality that was not particularly appealing for my palate. I greatly enjoyed drinking this year's Born Yesterday when these beers were fresh (e.g., less than one month old).

Cheers!

 

Just cracked my last bottle...the smell is still intoxicating! Taste wise it has definitely lost the dankness/sweetness and gained some bitterness but still holding up quite well in comparison to any other shelf APAs/IPAs out there. Still tasty at 2 months old. Can't wait for a fresh batch in 2017!!

 

Best pale ale or IPA that is nationally distributed that I think I've ever had. On par with the fresh stuff I was drinking up in Vermont back in September.

 

still good !

 

I saw 1 single bottle left on a store shelf mixed sixer section the other day for $2.99. I let it sit to RIP or have someone else grab the last bottle. Probably should have taken it though.

 

This would present you with an opportunity to drink an 'aged' Born Yesterday. I was not a fan of how my Born Yesterday 'evolved' after the 30 day mark but scream seems to still be enjoying it.

Cheers!

 

Appears as Born Again Yesterday 6pks are dropping now. Stoked and hope it is just as good as Born Yesterday that hit during harvest season last Fall.

 

Isn't the "Waldos" ale just coming out now? Didn't think born again would be back until summer.

 

The Lagunitas website says March-June release for Born Again Yesterday, so it should be around now or soon. Is Born Again new? I don't know about it, just the regular Born Yesterday (which was amazing last year).

 

I think Born again is just a re-release of the Born Yesterday. Not really sure, as Lagunitas hasn't said anything about it

 

Not possible for Born Yesterday to be "new" since it's a wet hop beer, and Wet Hop season is around September/October'ish.

On the other hand, last year they experimented with frozen hops (Born Again Yesterday) around this time, so that's what they're releasing. This is the first time it's being bottled.

 

I meant "new" as in never been released before. But I was wondering how it could be a wet hop beer when it's not harvest time, but their website describes the beer thusly: "An UnFiltered Born Again Pale Ale for all the wet hop lovers!" I guess frozen qualifies.

 

Will be on the lookout for this....if this is 80% of what Born yesterday was it will be excellent.

 

hoping it hits soon, my local store has it in system as 12 packs

 

Preserved hops or not - I'm in...........

 

I saw Born Again and Waldo's at my local BevMo, so it's starting to show up now.
