    That's weird, I almost posted this very question last night. Well, nothing yet, but I'll be on the hunt next week when I visit a couple of bottle shops.

    My beer collection/hoard is too vast to mention, but doesn't contain that much in the way of rarities or beers to age. A few Cantillons, Brewdog BA stouts, BCBS and lots of 'regular' beer.

    I'm addicted to buying beer :grinning:

    I can't keep beer, sorry I get it & I drink it
    Managed to keep a Wincle Christmas beer for two years

    Look if a beer is meant to be aged then the bloody brewery shouldn't release it till it's ready to be drank

    I don't know about that 'Nowt out of the ordinary' comment. I was having a gander at the online Hardknott shop a few minutes ago and apparently 2011 Granite will now set you back £41.50 a bottle. That's pretty out of the ordinary by my book. Glad I have a bottle too. :wink:

    Spooky, Dave Hardknott used pretty much the same phrase in his blurb for Figgy Pudding.
    It's a sign.....that I need to place an order or take a trip over Cumbria come my week off.

    Love Cumbria. I'd advise a visit to Hawkshead Brewery in Staveley too if you manage to make the trip. Great place, great people there.

    Our last trip but one to Cumbria was during the torrential rain and floods. As a consequence we never made it to Dave's pub The Woolpack

    Instead we were marooned here...

    Are you sure it was hell? Perhaps the hallucination of an irredeemable inebriate?

    Who sets that value? I hope it's not Hardknott. I had a bottle of the 2011 Granite a couple months back and it still tasted like shoddy homebrew.
