I looked at Roof Bro's when I was down there a couple weeks ago and no luck. Good luck, I actually really like the beer.

Just picked up another bottle of FAITHFULL ALE here in Columbus at Giant Eagle Kingsdale...

a friend got me a bottle, I ain't drinking it. it's a keeper

That's pointless, like not playing vinyl. You can save the bottle but you should really drink it and get some Pearl Jam in your belly. Preferably while playing vinyl.

Does anyone know the shelf life of the drink? I've left it on my desk unopened as a decoration. I want to save it for a special occasion, but I also don't want it to go bad by sitting out.

Why not just drink the beer and then save the bottle?

If you you "cellar" it properly (40-50 degrees), it should age nicely. You can keep it for many, many years under the right conditions. It's a popular misconception that beer cannot be aged like wine.

----at least most types of good beer. I don't think an adjunct lager (i.e. budweiser, miller lite, bud light, etc) is gonna be good at any age.

Okay.
Finally had a glass of this last night, and came home with another bottle, thanks to a friend.

Two things:
1. Whomever said on here, "the currant totally overwhelms this beer"
WTF? WHAT currant?

2. THATs it? THAT was PJ20 Beer?
WHERE WAS THE BALLS?

This is rock-n-roll people.
This beer is bland. :(
I knew i was in trouble when i whiffed it, and got NO nose.
It SMELLED bland.
:(

bah.
At least PEARL JAM still has balls.

lastexit

To each their own. I lowered my expectations because of my obvious bias and ended up enjoying the shit out of it.

Yea, I had no clue why that person would think this.

It is only 7%, is not bottle conditioned, and has added fruit flavouring. Like most beer out there it should be drunk fresh and will probably not age well at all. There just isn't enough alcohol in there to really preserve anything. For most craft beer you have about 3-4 months, keep it in a dark place though, light, especially UV is beer's natural enemy.

Lol. I +1'd you last time you said this in that other thread. +1 again.
ABV too low.

Besides, based on what i tried last night, fuck it, not even worth trying.
Give it to the bum on the corner. It's like glorified PBR.
lol

The Juggler

son of a... :x

its like bud light with a little bit of citrus to it. i didn't even want to finish it. so disappointed...at least the bottle is cool.

I love it for what it is, but the Miles Davis Bitches Brew tasted much better to me.

I'll agree with you!!!
FAITHFULL ALE isn't the BEST BEER I've ever had, but it's definitely not the WORST!!!
I like the BITCHES BREW much better...
Just finished a Raison D'etre and I'm still trying to chase down a bottle of the HELLHOUND too!!!! :ugeek:

Just because it isn't a high ABV beer doesn't mean you can't cellar it. IPA's and other hoppier beers, sure, they're probably best fresh. This beer probably won't change much a year from now as it certainly doesn't need to mellow out but that doesn't mean you can't sit on it for a while without it going shitty. But based on your post counts you both probably spend a lot of time on the internet and know everything. Get some sun.
