Yeah I've heard nothing but great things about it. Looks like only 450 bottles will be released at the cafe, so I will most likely never get a bottle. I may have to trade for one later.

Hopefully SN starts to branch out more in terms of style. Saisons, sours, barrel aged ales, and imperial stouts would be good.

Is it the hop profile? I know a few people who don't like most of SN beers because of the hops they use.

Can't really put my finger on it. Everything I have had from SN is just, meh, to me. Not bad but not something I will go back for. :sh

Never had this beer, so this post made me pick up a 6 pack tonight at the store. Was a bit expensive, but I know from browsing it's the only place in town that has it.

It was clearly dated 2012 on the bottle. So I imagine this is a beer that could possibly get aged? What's a good length of age for these? I tried one fresh and wasn't very impressed.

These get better with age. A year is good, but longer is even better!

Sadly I started aging in 2008
:(

Re: Beer News
 
$10 a 6pk is a great deal for an awsome barleywine. $10 a 4pk is still worth it.
But it makes me want to buy a 2nd case of 2012 to put away so I can even have more to age. I never drink it until it has been a year old, and once I start I cant keep my hands off of it, to last any longer!

Fortunately a six pack is $7.96 here!

A four pack will probably remain the same price as the six pack.

If prices keep going up, I may have to redouble my efforts on tunneling to the brewery (I live less than four miles away)!

Lagunitas is opening a second brewery in Chicago:

In other news - I was talking to Lagunitas owner, Tony Magee the other night, he said all their beers should be considered "hard to find", due to old equipment being torn down and new equipment stalled in shipping delays!

I hope they get their new equipment soon!

Thanks for the update. I remember reading that story from one of their six-pack carriers earlier this year, something about one of the new copper kettles being damaged in shipping and that they were waiting on the replacement. Didn't realize it was delayed that much and that they had started knocking down the old brewhouse rig. Ouch.
