    I have a full, sealed bottle of the original vintage from 1994. I wonder how many more are out there. Anyone else holding bottles? I still remember how strange (and somewhat terrible) this beer was when I bought it in Ann Arbor back in '94. I split the 4 pack with a buddy and we each drank one and saved one. That bottle has traveled some miles in 20 years! Maybe I'll wait until 2024 to open mine, to celebrate I'm still alive :slight_smile:

    My brother is still holding on to about a half case. He's looking forward to drinking beer that is old enough to drink beer!

    '94 was flowing hard at Big Beers in Vail, CO last month, and it was tasting awesome. I'm glad I held onto some bottles.

    Good customer dropped off two '95s this afternoon. Having had a 1994, I can't say I'm excited, but I have a tasting tomorrow night so one of these will be the surprise finish beer. I think the other might sit another decade just for the hell of it. Surely can't get any worse.

    I, too, love this beer and still have one bottle in the refrigerator. However, the last time I opened one (maybe 1.5 years ago..?) the cork was about 1 millimeter away from being completely trashed. My last one may be a loss. Hope not.
