    I still this this on shelves in a couple of places. How long will this beer hold up? TIA.

    Probably not well, it's only 5% abv so it will most likely only get blender over time. I personally wouldn't buy it or suggest for you to either.

    The listing here says it is 6.5% and that is more my memory. I would think it is still tasting pretty good but wouldn't be sitting on it for much longer. I have a real soft spot for that beer as one of the first local craft brews that helped me understand there was a world beyond Harpoon IPA - would definitely buy it on draught if I found it still out in the wild.

    I had one in my fridge for a while and finally opened the bottle two weeks ago. Turned out it was a fairly old bottle...when we opened it, it was 10 months old. Wasn't expecting much, but I thought it tasted pretty good. Hops held up well. Could be that it just tasted good because I was drinking out of my Pretty Things boot mug though:slight_smile:

    Surprised these are still out in the wild. I'm holding out hope to come across Baby Tree.

    On a warm shelf ... I'd have to say pass on it. While it is a great beer it does not shelf like a Saison Dupont.
