Drink something that has been in your house a bit too long and needs to be consumed before the new year
Lots of those here sadly
Yea. Mee too!
Ah an easy one this month!
December ‘25? Damn, you guys a year ahead already
Eugene has been drinking too many great ales to worry if the year on his post is correct. He probably hasn’t switched to using Ai to write his posts LOL!
And I have a 2020 Trader Joe’s Vintage Spiced Ale (brewed by Uninroue) in my queue that could count for November and December BOTM!
I’ll start with the actual alcohol. These 2 have been open in the fridge for a week and a half. Should drink them. Actually, the work best blended.
I was getting out the old year.
Damn, I should
@MicroGrog how am I the first rater on these ciders?
I think your nose is a magnet for apple cider vinegar. I too once did not give a shit about my palate. I have a link that can get me a bottle at $18 if you think it’s worth a cross comparison.
Didn’t see a whole lot of garment rending when these blokes packed it in but this was and still is a good one. Some slight soy sauce creeping in but deep & still fairly bitter.
how old is this one?
do it for the cider tick.
Hard to say. It has an importer’s sticker on it that says bb 3/25 but underneath, what is obviously the original bb has been deliberately obliterated. Seemed older than the previous one I’d had in 2/23 - where I said it was ~ a year out of date - but maybe hasn’t been as well handled.
Only 2020 but brewed in Canada so it ticks last month too.
My oldest beer was a Guinness Foreign Extra Stout ER 1953 Coronation Ale I drank on 3/17/21 on the Queen’s passing. I found it after a couple RB guys tried a 1902 Bass King Edward VII Coronation Ale Bass had found cases behind a brick wall in their cellars. I didn’t find the Bass but held onto the Guinness fearing the Queen would outlive me. I was planning on drinking it when she passed the throne to William if Charles predeceased her.
Great one.
Personally I love historical beers and historical styles (that are pretty much ignored these days).
Oldest beer I had was a five year old can of Asahi Dry that my had been kicking around on my parents’ fridge since my younger brother brought it back from Japan. Tasted absolutely fine
what is an iStout? Hoppy stout?
Apple in it?
