Bottle Collecting?

Nope, you are right.  It is brewed by O'Hanlon's Brewery.  I didn't see that until I just checked the bottle.

 

What a rip-off.

 

Supposedly, it is the same basic recipe, but who knows.  I haven't tried anything prior to this one, so I won't be able to compare.

 

I know that Thomas Hardy is brewed by a different brewery now but the beer is spot on and hasn't changed at all from what I can tell. I did a tasting with a '93, '97, '04 and even though there are differences because of the aging, all three taste like they are brewed by the same people even though the '04 is brewed by new people. My buddy found a place downstate MI that sells all kinds of T. Hardy vintages but I guess they get pretty pricey....and who knows how they've been kept. Could be a gamble.

 

Well, regardless it is pretty cool that there's a beer with as much aging value as a wine, seems like the wines tend to get all that glory.

 

I found this link to a place in Belgium with a menu full of specialty aged beers, he even has a "beer cellar".  Does anyone else notice how dirty it is in there?

I hear in Belgium even the breweries are dirty! yikes  I can't argue with results though big_smile

 

Maybe that's why belgians are so hard to copy, you need to stir in somne dirt to really capture the flavor.

 

It has got to be the special Belgian dirt, though :-).

Wasn't it pretty common for the Belgians to use open fermenters, at least until recently?

 

They do all kinds of crazy things, I wouldn't be surprised to hear they swim laps in the fermenters before pitching the yeast.
