Don't sit on it for sure.
Had my Crooked Stave Vieille tonight, I couldn't resist the temptation. Man was it amazing. Thanks again Mike!

If you liked Vieille you have to try Surrette, it is by far their best shelf beer IMHO. I can't wait to get the cellar reserve beers next year.
It seems like more and more places are making sours. If you guys get Westbrook down there you should check out the Gose. New Belgium makes some decent sours. Their Kriek isn't my favorite, but not bad. I really enjoy Le Terroir, but the price for it in Colorado is crazy. I checked seekabrew and it looks like you get Cascade? Definitely pick some of that up if you see it. Spendy, but good. From the Seekabrew list Dogfish has at least one sour and Jolly Pumpkin, Prairie Artisan, and The Bruery all make some good sours. I think Saint Somewhere makes some bretted beers too. It seems like you can find a few good ones down there to stock up on!
TrickyDick said:Thanks. I'll look for those. I've had some. What's the DFH sour? noble rot? NB just started to distribute this past summer. I'll look for cascade, never seen them before. St. Somewhere is nice. Next time I'm at the indie liquor shops I'll ask them get some of these for me, dunno is Westbrook is in FL. I've never seen it before in FL. TD
Festina Peche is classified as a berliner but I just can't get on board calling it that. Its not a bad beer, but its not a berliner too me, to mild, not close to enough tart.

I definitely prefer to store upright. It keeps any yeast and sediment on the bottom rather than along the side of the bottle. Also beer corks react and behave differently than wine corks so conceptually it's not as critical to keep them moist. The other key factors to storage are light and temperature. Keep them out of direct light, especially sunlight and fluorescent light. Keep them at a constant temperature, preferably in the low to mid-50's. A lot of apartment dwellers use a closet, I'm lucky to have a limestone cellar as a basement so I have perfect year round conditions.
The hardest thing is having the patience to not drink them!!

Damn that was an expensive trip for you, the 3 GI beers alone probably cost you ~70
Good news folks. Cascade Sang Noir is flippin' delicious. Wow, the first taste hit me in the gills, but every taste after got better and better.
Also, the Breakside IPA is amazing. A really really good IPA. Wow, loving this. Thanks again Brewbien. You knocked it out of the park.
That is good news. Got one chilling down right now.
