    I havea Parabola 2013, a Sacuba 2013, Double DBA 2014 and Stickee Monkee 2014 I've had sitting in my cellar. I'm probably never going to drink them

    I know a guy who has at least a case of Sweetwater IPA's that have been in his garage on a shelf for over 2 years now. Leftovers from a party. Summers get over 100 in there I'm sure. Where do garage turd IPAs fit into the spectrum of shelf and fridge turds?

    Wait much longer and it will crawl out of the bottle. Please go for it and report back!

    I use my orphans to parboil brats in before grilling.

    If you're not going to drink them, I'll give you my address. Those should all have handled aging fine.

    Perfect. Love the avatar, too, remember Brewster from back in Detroit in the late '50's - classic.

    This had a BBD of 08-12: Here's the results: Cardboard, acidity, a little fig, all most made me wretch. Drain pour, not really surprised

    Got a bunch that fit the bill. Got a stone enjoy being 3/14/16 bomber, a founders harvest from fall 2015, about 17 Bigfoot’s from late 2015 that are slowly dying ( I drink one or two per season), and many others. I occasionally give beers away but I am trying to work my way through the stouts etc.

    Those Bigfoots hold up well over ten years for the most part

    Thats what I was thinking! Those are all favorites of mine and should age well.

    Ummm, major mistake on my end. One of my BB is a 2010. So there's that. I'm going to drink it tonight. Any experience with one this old? Yikes.

    I have a few in the basement that I know I need to drink sooner rather than later. The problem is every time I tell myself I have to drink one, I find a bottle I want to drink more.

    The cycle continues . . .
