Saw a bunch of this sitting at Woodmans in Kenosha yesterday; can anyone share is this a new batch or still leftovers from last year? I was up there yesterday to get my months supply of Dancing Man!
FWIW, I recently had a bottle of Strawberry Rhubarb from last summer and it still tastes great and I don't think it's going bad anytime soon. I personally wouldn't worry about it too much and buy it regardless.
The NG fruit beers don't change. I have had most of them with various age on them and they don't improve or fall off. Taste pretty much the same.
I would suggest you buy them all right now, had one a couple of weeks ago, absolutely phenomenal beer.
Rumors were that Strawberry Rhubarb (and Serendipity?) were going to be put in "hibernation", but I don't know if that was ever confirmed.
I haven't seen any "new" strawberry rhubarb lately (and the store I go to burns through their fruit beers pretty quickly), so I'd assume it's old. However, I brought a Serendipity from...I dunno, late summer, early fall? to Dark Lord this year, and it tasted exactly the same. You're safe either way.
More than rumor. Strawberry Rhubarb was moved from the "Year-Round" page to the "Beers We Have Known and Loved" page on the New Glarus site several months ago, although it's now on neither.
Well I'm glad someone finally answered my question. http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/ng-strawberry-rhubarb.179524/ All four are still on the shelf by me so I wasn't sure but glad to hear its coming back.
