Grandfather of all finds in owner's basement
« on: May 25, 2017, 02:57:24 pm »
So, for the last several months, I have been working on cleaning out the basement of our office. A little bit here, a little bit there. I have found some gems that I have posted on here in the recent past. He was the former owner of the building that once was Burger Brewing Co, so some nice finds from there. A tin sign here and there. An old wooden Hudepohl Keg, etc.
     This beauty takes the cake though. That's not a lighting effect, these babies are no longer clear, after who knows how many years sitting inside an unrefrigerated cubby in his basement bar.
     Now taking offers...

Hmmm, highly suspect. Last I recall that stuff was clear, not yellow.

Could have been.  But bottle cap ingress is at work here.

Yeah, I honestly think I had less than one bottle of that swill total ever, but remember it being clear. Maybe it's like a nice year old Westmalle now. Or nothing like that at all.  ;D

So I think what we are all wondering is.....how does it taste now?

My parents had some Seagrams that was still from Canada (early 80s vintage) in their liquor cabinet a few years ago.  Interesting tasting... the Old Granddad was better, though.  :)

If I was going to NHCon, I would let you be the guinea pig and the first to try it out.

I have a friend who loved this stuff. Sent him the same pic, and he wants it as a nice (?) Bar top conversation piece

It's supposed to be coming back. You could take those to a store and complain about their QC
