Vintage Beers Available Online

Hello all! I noticed a couple of the online beer merchants have some aged brews in stock right now. Since questions asking about where you can purchase aged beers are among the most common inquiries I get, I thought I’d take a moment and point them out to you.
First off, check out the Vintage/Rare section of BottleTrek.com. Selections include a 2006 Samuels Ale by Avery Brewing Company and a 2006 Pike Old Bawdy among others. I’m thinking seriously about putting an order in for both soon.
Also be sure to check out Liquid Solutions, where several vintage beers selections are sitting right in their normal beer lineup. I picked up a couple of bottles of both the 2001 and 2003 vintages of Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot Barleywine, as well as a six pack of the 2006 Anchor “Our Special” Ale. I can’t wait for them to get here!
If anyone does purchase any of these brews, be sure to let me know how they were!

State Line Liquors in Elkton, MD has an interesting selection of aged beers as well. I picked up a bottle of the 2000 JW Lees Harvest Ale a couple weeks ago, and their website indicates they have a 1989 Thomas Hardy’s.

State line is such a fantastic beer store. It’s like beer heaven =) You’ll probably find a lot there.

I’ve got a couple of bottles of Our Special left over from 06 that have turned out pretty interesting. I did a little vertical of 06-08 a couple of months ago: http://www.thebarleyblog.com/2008/anchor-our-special-ale-2006-2008-tasting/
Good luck with the purchases.
