Jimbo 0 #1 November 27, 2002 I'm sitting here thinking about the purchase I just made, $42.00 for a six pack. Yikes! It's 2002/2003 Dogfish Head World Wide Stout @ 23%. This beer will be much better I think after it's had the chance to age for at least a year, that's going to require a LOT of self control. It had better be good! - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #5 November 27, 2002 I remember spending about $60 in Destin Florida. The worst part was....it was "Drink Specials" night and I didn't buy any for anyone else. That $60 was 20 beers I think. I remembered to "Pre Drink" before I went out the next night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mindcake 0 #18 November 28, 2002 Beer is ALWAYS better when it is fresh....do not wait to drink this beer...it will only loose flavor and gain that skunky taste as it gets older. Beer is also hurt by light, this means all those beers in clear bottle's have a shorter shelf life (thats also why you get such inconsistancy with light/clear bottled beer). I have spent over $100 a night for days straight and I too got a DUI and quit (after my second one that is). Jim Don´t belive the hype Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samurai136 0 #19 November 28, 2002 Like everyone else, I've spent lotsa $$$ on kegs and reveling. But the most expensive beer that comes to mind is the cheap swill Dubba-ya serves at _The Ballpark_.

Jimbo 0 #22 November 28, 2002 Because I'm something of a beer fanatic I'm going to take a stab at clearing up a few misconceptions. QuoteBeer is ALWAYS better when it is fresh Agreed. But fresh doesn't necessarily mean fresh out of the fermenter, fresh doesn't have to be two weeks old, or a month old, etc... Keep reading. Quotedo not wait to drink this beer....it will only loose flavor and gain that skunky taste as it gets older. Sorry. This one is going to age a bit. It's 23% alcohol and loaded with hops. The combination of the alcohol and probably more important the high amount of hops should keep it 'fresh' for quite some time, I'm talking at least a year here, probably a bit more. Hops are a preservative and one of the things that helps to keep beer 'fresh'. As far as that skunky taste, that's usually caused by a chemical reaction between isomerized hops and ultraviolet light. (Funny how that skunky taste is almost a trademark of many supposedly good imported beers.) QuoteBeer is also hurt by light, this means all those beers in clear bottle's have a shorter shelf life (thats also why you get such inconsistancy with light/clear bottled beer). This is true to the extent that beer has hops and the interaction between UV light and isomerized hops causes the skunky, and other off flavors as well. Clear bottles offer near zero protection from the damaging light, green bottles offer only slightly more, and brown bottles offer the highest amount of protection from this light. I suppose that opaque bottles would be the ideal storage vessel. Edit: Yet another thing that can ruin a beer is oxygen. Oxidated beer tends to taste like stale, like cardboard. There are two ways that I know of to hold back oxygen from entering a brew. The first is oxygen absorbing bottle caps, the second is oxygen blocking caps. The oxygen blocking caps I believe are just caps with a bit more attention paid to that rubber gasket that forms the inside seal. To my knowledge, most microbreweries (well maybe just some) use one of the caps mentioned above. Anyhow, back to the 'freshness' of a beer. Beers such as Bud, Miller, Coors, Corona, Heiniken, etc... tend to have a shorter shelf life because of the limited amount of hops, alcohol, and poor packaging (clear and green bottles). What I'll call 'bigger' beers tend to have a longer shelf life due mostly to the increased hop bill and alcohol (as you add fermentables, necessary to achieve high alcohol beers, you need to increase the hop bill as well to balance out the fermentables - it's a flavor/balance thing.) These 'bigger' beers, usually from microbreweries usually come in brown bottles just because that's what the microbrews tend to use. Finally, these bigger beers, of which I am a great fan, need some time to mellow. When these beers are served young, or what you might have called 'fresh', the flavors haven't had a chance to mellow or meld with each other. It is not uncommon for these beers, when served young, to have harsh flavors that almost always mellow over time. That's probably more about beer than anyone ever really wanted to know, but like I said, I'm something of a beer fanatic. I enjoy beer almost as much as I do skydiving.
