    Has anyone seen any fresh Westbrook Gose in the NYC area yet this year?

    Check beer menus. There are a ton of places that have it. I am going to NYC this weekend and will be picking some up.

    Yeah there will be a lot more stores carrying it in the next week or so.

    My local gets all the westbrook stuff and they're still waiting.

    this thread begs the question: does it matter if Gose is fresh? meaning comparing a fresh can against a 3-month old one, not one that's like a year old.

    I've had a can of WB gose at about 4 months old and I have to say I much prefer it fresh. It developed a bit of a stale funky aftertaste at that point that I can't really describe.

    We'll see this weekend. I have 8 cans from a case of AV Blood Orange Gose that I bought in December. Haven't had one in a while but will check it out this weekend for any significant differences.

    I don't think you have to go crazy and drink ASAP like IPA's. But if I remember correctly there are drink by dates on the bottom of the cans so I'm guessing you want to drink them within a few months of canning.

    WB Gose is back in WF in Manhattan (at least the Midtown East one). Canned 4/15.

    Not this year, but I had on draft last summer at Cooper's Craft and Kitchen. Thought it was ok. Nothing spectacular.
