    I am curious what people would seek out, if given the choice. Would you go for a limited release, or would you rather go for an older vintage of a more common beer? I have been on the fence about it, but I think the appeal of an older vintage might win. I would love to pick up some older (properly cellared) Bigfoot, Old Guardian, Old Ruffian, or others in this category. What do you think? Obviously it might depend on what the limited release might be, and I am sure many people have the option to seek out both, but I wonder if people lean more to one side.

    This was a tough one for me. I went with older vintage because I think it is ultimately more difficult for me to age beer that I buy that it is for me to track down limited releases. If I have it in my possession I want to drink it.
