When is Older Viscosity released?

I've noticed that Older Viscosity is released with very little fanfare. It's a phenomenal BA stout, that can stand toe to toe with the big boys, yet no one ever talks about it. With that said, I have no idea when it comes out.

 

For some reason I thought last years batch got delayed/did not ship

 

Because it's $18 for a 375ml bottle. Great beer, but terrible value.

 

According to their website it is an early spring release. So, possibly around the corner.

 

Tried some on saturday at my local pub it was from 2010 damn it was still boozy hot!!! It was a special event for SF beer week that night was cellared beer night they had some good stuff on hand that night!!!

 

Wasn't released last year, will be this year though.

 

Like said above, it's an amazing beer, but ridiculously expensive.

 

OP...if trading is something you might be interested in, hit me up.

 

Do you know why?

 

It was released last year...

 

It's on the shelf in MA, which mean either it was released last year, or those are some really old bottles still on the shelf.

 

I'm a beer manager at a major store in NJ. Port/Lost Abbey came to NJ on 1/1/12 for the first time. We got Older Viscosity with the 2nd round of their beers to arrive, 2012 vintage.

Only one of my top 3 favorite beers. I just don't understand why it costs $15.99 for a 12oz bottle when I can get a 10oz draft for $10. Usually it's the other way, but I digress.

 

I constantly see this just sit on the shelf. The price tag really makes this an easy find if you just do a little searching, even a year later.

 

I found 8 bottles of 2011 on the shelves last week.

 

What he said.

What he said.

Definitely released last year. Last year's definitely still available on the shelf.

 

I bought one last year, but the bottle date was still 2011. Did you guys see 2012 labeled on the bottle?

 

I'm guessing that was a 2011.

 

You can probably go back 3 or 4 vintages in MA without putting in too much effort. None of the Lost Abbey 375's seem to sell around here, except for Red Poppy. (The most overpriced of all of them... go figure...)
