Oh, that’s plenty good. I know guys that sit on things for 7+ years.

I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve had a bottle of Brooklyn Black Ops for about that long. Not intentionally. I just never got around to opening it with the right people and now it’s just there.

Black Ops is definitely one that will improve with age, I have never really been a fan of fresh batches.

Sierra Nevada Celebration should be hitting shelves in CT right about now, need to actually get to the store.

The beer market has been sliding a lot the last 2-3 years though I can't say I'm not surprised with this one, I am glad it is not AB-InBev or MillerCoors; Magnolia goes along for the ride as well. Kirin owns 24.5 percent of Brooklyn Brewery too.

You know what's good? That Bell's Official.
