We stopped at the Whole Foods in Napa for provisions on the way up yesterday and stumbled into a Hermitage Brewing beer tasting. The rep poured us a flight and started talking about the single hop citra stuff, which sounded great until I smelled the beer. It was a malty mess. I asked to see the bottle and it was bottled 3/04. I went Maveny on him.

July 4 weekend, there was a beer tasting on Sunday at my local HEB. They had as one of the brews the Prairie Phas-something DIPA that I've seen several on here post about being really good.

I asked the guy pouring about bottle dating on the beer, bc I was hesitant to buy a 4 pack a couple weeks ago since I couldn't find a date.

His reply was that it doesn't really matter much, because IPAs are meant to age well.

He then told me the Prairie DIPA tastes exactly like Heady Topper, which I've never had Heady and couldn't believe him since he just before told me about IPAs aging.

I had one of the beer distributor guys tell me yesterday that the expired Enjoy By that was still on the shelf yesterday was going to last for a months without losing it's taste. I said to him that Stone usually will pull the ones that are out of date. I had some that were a few weeks out of date and it didn't taste the same to me. Maybe it was all in my head.
