        Been awhile since I had Duchesse de Bourgogne, decided to pick up a bottle for dinner.
        Always solid, but much sweeter than I remember previously.

        Drinking a 2014 120 Minute IPA, much much better with time.

            This is purely amazing! The hop profile is so well balanced against the barrel aging and herbal additives.

              That Fecker sounds interesting. I went a little overboard at the bottle shop tonight.

                  Going down pretty nicely after a bike ride on too hot of a day for spring (27C at the height of the day)  I wish I could come across more stuff from prairie up in Canada but sadly all I've seen so far in BC is this and the prairie ale

                    Can't wait to drink it. One of my favorite bottle shops just started getting a lot of new Belgian stuff. Definitely looking for suggestions on things to look out for cuz I know squat about Belgian beer. Saw a Yule Maelk (sp?).  Paging Seul…

                      Found another bottle of Saison Rue from The Bruery so I figured I would open one now and see how it is fresh.
                      Turns out it's absolutely delicious!  😘

                            Anyone ever have this happen?
                            This was in a cabinet in my laundry room, so in a mostly dark and air conditioned place.  No idea when it exploded, which is weird, since I think I'd smell beer in a room I go into daily.

                            Only thing I can think of is that it's unfiltered and unpasteurized, so maybe the yeast kept doing their thing until the CO2 buildup blew the lid off?

                                    Active yeast and CO2 buildup almost definitely caused it.

                                    If the yeast (or bacteria since Gose tend to have acid producing bacteria) haven't had time to fully eat all the sugars in the beer they can keep on working in the package and cause it to bursts.

                                    A small misstep on bottle (or can in this case) conditioning could cause that to.  In that process, just enough sugar is added to the beer just before packaging so that once the beer is packaged the yeast can continue to work and carbonate the beer naturally.  Add to much sugar, and boom!

                                        Thanks, @Seul and @emceeQ; good to know I didn't do anything wrong, other than not drink it fast enough.  It is a tasty beer.  New batch should be coming out soon, I expect.  I'll have to restock…

                                          I have a can of Westbrook Gose in my fridge from last year… Wondering if that's ok to drink... Reckon it's a sour beer, so should be still good?..
