    My favorite craft beer store is 20 minutes from where I work. I work 5 minutes from home and would like to grab a beer without going out of my ways sometimes so I go to the liquor store across the street that has decent selection of craft beer but i have no idea what the turnover is. Let's just say craft beer isn't the main market for this place. Anyway I picked up some zwiec porter which i've had today and I swear it tasted different somehow and I threw out half the bottle. I'm drinking a two hearted right now that was bottled 2 months ago and it doesn't taste anywhere near as good as I remembered it. Am i imagining things or is it possible that the same exact beer can taste so much better if i buy it from a liquor store 20 minutes further away?

    I'd chalk it up to storage conditions and age.

    Probably the bad one mostly caters mostly to bmc while the good one has an entire wall dedicated to craft
