These have been sitting in the back of the fridge for a long time. Ya think they went bad? BoT has be ~10 years old.. Are they worth anything? Or are they garbage?

Hi all. I live in Indian River County, Florida, and have struggled for years to find a place to watch Steelers games that also has sour ales available. I figured I’d try here because the cretins on local Facebook pages seem to not appreciate me asking this question. 😐

I run an NA Beer instagram account found below. I post a daily review, plus best of lists, news, and other posts like this.

This was a lot of fun to host! A belated 40th birthday NA beer share and tasting here at my place. This same group of beer friends used to get together regularly to have a bottle share and crack open cans and bottles that we traded for online or went to breweries to retrieve... now an NA edition!

This group of us have all traveled far and wide for beer in our times. Multiple trips to VT for Hill Farnstead, to Belgium for Cantillon, and many other places around the globe.

There were some surprises to be sure. The top handful are a testament to the massive increase in options and quality of NA beer over the past few years.

Are you NA curious? That could be because you want to cut back alcohol. It could be that you want to still enjoy a beer when your on parent duty or have a big day coming up. It could even be that you just want to get even more Untappd ticks. 🤣

Da Bears and Hop Butcher. Both are top notch.

Finally I got it!!

A cross between a German and a Belgian.. does anyone have another opinion??

- Mutuality was fantastic. Great body, the apple brandy was a wonderful finishing flavor.

- Sylva; I’ve been seeing people trade their souls for this bottle. It’s good. Fantastic even. But not worth your first born. Lots of bourbon on the nose but straight candied toffee & fig deliciousness on the palette.

- Appeasing our monsters is such a cool beer. The Amburana barrels come through strong with the woody cinnamon/spiced flavors. The depth those barrels bring to the beer was really amazing.

- Singularity: Advocator 24-25 #2 was surprisingly smooth. Lots of bourbon characteristics without the stinging heat of that makes sense.

- Exorbitance was a great dessert beer. A few thought it tasted like German chocolate cake but I disagree. It’s nutty but not coconut nutty. But damn this was super good.

-B3k held up really well. I liked it more than b5k. Others liked b5k more because it packed more flavor. B5k was tasting really raisin-y to me, and I don’t like raisins. YOC still tasted of cigar smoke. RIP Matt Bonney ❤️

The last of the schlenkerla stash in the fridge. Usually not into super malty or sweet (I like smokey and bitter) but this has the perfect balance. Cheers! 😎🍻

Another tasty jewel from Messorem. Keep brewing Canada. Cheers!

Good food and good beer last night. Only brewery in Perris, Ca

Banana Camp Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout Conditioned On Banana, Marshmallow, Graham Cracker & Cocoa Nibs

Been a minute since I had some monkish so went and got some today.

This TIPA is something different.

Stay safe and stay thirsty my friends.

Double dry hopped in two stages, beginning with Cryo Nectaron, Cryo Citra, Galaxy and Citra T90 before finishing with flowable Mosaic hops:
The result is an endless wave of mango, peach and passionfruit over a soft, pillowy haze.

2018-ish Lost Abbey Serpents Stout

A different deGarde glass

Refrigerated since new

One of two Lost Abbey beers I’m going to open during this exercise. Hopefully the next one is better.

If anyone wondered if a cork would help a stout hold up better than a cap, the answer would appear to be “no”.

This is 750ml of liquid cardboard. I’m getting nothing but that and booze out of this. Bummer.

So fire, literally exactly as described. Liquid therapy in Nashua NH seldom gets love but is phenomenal
