Cherry Rye: drink fresh or cellar?

I picked up a Cherry Rye this afternoon. My only one for the year. So, what do I do with it? Drink it now or cellar it for a year? Thoughts?

Drink it now.

It's beer. Drink it.

Just picked up this and coffee- which one should I drink tonite? Never had either. Had Vanilla and Regular though.

Drink Now with some others no need to wait

If you only have one, drink now! I have a rule of not cellaring any beer that I don't have at least 2 of.

Don't drink it. Ever.

The cherry flavor will probably fall to the background with time, I would drink it.

I drank one around Christmas and it was amazing. If it ages similar to regular BCBS then it will only get better. I have a couple left and will try one in a year and then another a year or so after. IMO this is one of the best BCBS variants. Wish they would have made more.

Drink it now. However, drink the coffee first if u have both.

Drink it

Can't go wrong with either one. Good problem to have

Just trade it away for a bunch of other beer/services.

I hear that if you age beer long enough, since carbon 14 is very common in organic material, it will in time turn to diamonds, assuming enough bottle pressure of course . . . better get a snickers bar; you're going to be here for awhile.

Just kidding drink it!!! Cherry flavors tend to fade.

Always drink fresh first. I have some others and I put some in the fridge to hold out as long as possible, and some in the "wine cellar" to see what that does.

What do you hope to gain by waiting? Drink your beer

True if only 1 bottle. With multiples, I don't wait necessarily because I think it's going to be "more awesomer", I stockpile so I have it at my whim throughout the year =)

Fresh (as in a month after bottling) was mind blowing...I'm glad I have one to "age," but I would absolutely recommend consuming that badboy now.

This is exactly right! People dont hoard your bottles drink your CR BCBS or trade them to someone who wants to drink it! Cherry Flavor will go bye bye fast, plain and simple.

it's easy to respond, "drink it now", "if you only have one, why are you cellaring", but if cherry rye progresses as bramble did (which i really enjoyed), then i'd say a year on the bottle will improve the beer. but, it's a different beer than bramble so age at your own risk.

Bramble is better now, than it was then in my opinion. The fruits have held up stronger than I expected and are very much present still. After having the Cherry for the first time last night, I think that this one will hold up just like Bramble.

BOTH!

You say fall.. I say meld!

Bramble sucked fresh. I got good with 6months on it. Good thing I had a good beer geek friend who shared the older bramble with me. It really sucked fresh

i drank mine, the cherry flavor will most likely fade
