Fresh baked bread, goat cheese, pesto, smoked fontinella. 18 year old barley wine that sucked when it came out but is awesome right now.
Cost per person: like I know. This is just for me. It rotates my emergency goat cheese, I smoked the cheese myself, I baked the bread, how do you price a bottle of beer you bought so long ago it can drive?
Can you order this anywhere? Probably. There is some place that offers something this simple and prepped for $45. They probably even have bruschetta. Which I thought about making but decided against. They definitely have avocado toast.
Some beers do improve over age, mostly darker beers and some sours or Bretts.
But even with great beer 18 years is a bit on the longer side. Beers start thinking out. I recommend to age dark beers by no more than it’s abv per year.
I’ve aged, sold and tasted many aged beers and it can really help it’s character.
But hop forward beers don’t age well at all. Your IPAs should be enjoyed within the year.
