    I have some Stone old Guardian and SN Bigfoot that I have been holding on to for going on 5 years now. Do I still let them go or give them a pop??

    Interestingly, I asked a friend this exact same question the other night. He's my Bigfoot expert.
    His response:
    Ehhh. Tough question. Of the past 5 years right now, I would rate them 09, 11, 13, 10, 12. So I guess I don't find a sweet spot.
    Each batch has slightly different flavors not attributable to age (IMO). 12 had lots of licorice, 11 was/is especially hoppy, 09 was amazing

    Good to hear from you Eric, actually just trying to get my 3 post minimum so I can ISO/FT but actually do have 4 SN Bigfoot bottles each from 2005 -12.

    How was all the Alpine/RR hoppy stuff received? Hope you enjoyed!
