I'll have a few years of Wake n Bake.

 I also have a 2008-2012 Miller Lite stash.

Anyone else hoard yearly releases?  Was thinking of bringing some beers to share at Black Moose - got SN Bigfoot releases from 2009-2013, figured we could do a vertical tasting for those into barleywines.  If anyone happens to have a '14, that'd be cool.

I always think about doing that, but then I drink them.

Was '08 a good year for Lite?   //;D//

I also have several years of Wake n' Bake as well as Stone IRS and Old Guardian.  I used to always buy two or three then only drink one which has resulted in the Raiders of the Lost Ark beer fridge.

Found a '10 SN Celebration bomber in the back of the beer fridge too - not a beer that cellars well.

I thought good beer got nasty after a few months and the yeast started clumping

big, dark beers such as imperial stouts and barley wines usually get smoother/better with age.  Highly hop flavored and aroma'd beers such as imperial IPA do not get better with age.

Most of the time there is little to no yeast remaining in a production brew, but even if there is some, it will drop to the bottom and become sediment (dregs) that you avoid stirring up and avoid drinking.  If there is too much yeast remaining and the yeast cell is compromised, it can impart a bad flavor to the beer.

Sounds like we need to organize a beer tasting at some point.

You have been deputized to do so, make it happen!

To me a fancy beer is Bud Light as I normally consume Natty Light.
I tried a Guinness once & the $#!t was nasty. I sure hope it gets better with time cause it can't get worse.

Dang, Guinness is mild, if it was the normal stuff.  Some beers are an acquired taste.  Some people just won't like anything but an American lager...enjoy what you like.
