For those that are on road trips in the mid-west, there's a nice brew pub in St. Louis called Schlafly's Tap Room They have a cask-conditined pale ale that is nothing short of a religious experience. Only available on site and pulled with a traditional English beer engine from the cellar.

Happy Traveling!

I finally got my two bottles of Stone Old Guardian (limited 2007 edition) from medic8r last night at the Rush concert. I opened one to have with my dinner (fusilli with doctored tomato mushroom sauce). It is downright tasty. I wonder how anyone could cellar such a fine beverage?

I've been reading about guys who are aging out some of these strong ales, but from what I've read and learned homebrewing, the practice seems dubious.

The skilled folks at Stone release their beer when it's ready, IMO.

Your avatar is due for an update. How's the "little" guy doing these days?

My Unibroue 2004s are still going strong. I have no idea if they're better now or not, though...

Picked up a Unibroue 16 the other day, along with another Ephemere and a couple of Piraats. I discovered Piraat awhile back. Pretty tasty stuff, although I don't have a description close to hand.

He's doing great. Making strides in leaps and bounds. I'll update the pic next time I'm on the desktop.

BTW, funny chit, Jack.

Oh I'm relieved someone mentioned it. I was beginning to fear you guys were taking it seriously and I had caused offense. Whew! My brother, who has consumed more beer in his 70 years than you can ever imagine, sent it to me.

Yes, Jack, top-notch!

Although - in the interest of balance - I must also suggest http://www.beerandhealth.com

I had the Unibroue 16 recently, and will echo Peter's bewilderment and Mark's observation that "cellaring" such morsels is just masochism.

Although I did manage to save the 6.6.06 Vertical Epic. So far.
