Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

I would not hoard a ton. I bought a 24 in the states last year and it is much better when fresh. Still have about six left and each one is a little worse than the one before.
Have to disagree but that's what personal tastes are all about! I prefer things a little more mellow and balanced and right now the 2009 bombers are drinking fantastically, the 12oz bottle have fallen off a little bit and I would say the 2008 12oz bottles are on the downside. Personally I prefer BCBS with a year or two.

he was talking about hoarding Founders Backwoods Bastard not Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout
Yeah I was talking about the Founders Backwoods. I would never say to drink the BCBS fresh.
I like the Backwoods Bastards fresh but really like them when they have 3 or 4 months of age on them. Still, I know some people who buy them strictly to drink after they have a year on them.
EDIT - FWIW, I had a 2007 BCBS last year and it was phenominal.
