I’ve just heard from Leo…turns out Lion Brewery held and aged some of their 2008 Stegmaier Holiday Warmer for release this year. Leo tells me there is a VERY limited quantity available at Kern Brothers in the Dallas Shopping Center (Rt 309 near Friendly’s). If this isn’t good enough news, Leo tells me the price will be right around $20 a case! I’ve spoken to several people, including Leo who all tell me it tastes fantastic….and at that price, it’s a steal.
Guys, trust me this is an ecxellent beer that ages beautifully - I had a 2006 example recently and it was phenomenal. If you like our Holiday Warmer now, you'll love it as it ages and mellows. Last year's batch was over 8% ABV, perfect for cellaring. In fact, if I were smart I'd start setting a case or two aside every year for a vertical tasting about five years from now. Of course, I don't have a cellar that big, but Bil does...
ReplyDeleteCount me in.....we'll be cellaring some for sure.
ReplyDeletei got 2 cases last year, and i'm down to my last 6er right now- no question that this beer ages wonderfully.
