    Cellar Your Beer

    While most beer varieties should be enjoyed fresh for an optimum flavor experience, some become more complex as oxygen sneaks in over the years. This process can enrich the beer with notes of sherry or port wine.

     

    Start your own beer cellar with high-alcohol styles, like our Bigfoot and Narwhal brews. Let them hibernate in a cool, dark place for best results.

    Vertical 12-Pack

    Taste Bigfoot Over Time

    Most beer is best fresh, but some styles also age deliciously. There’s a reason fans obsessively collect Bigfoot — like our friend Travis from Texas, who recently surpassed 1,300 bottles of Bigfoot across vintages 2013–2022.

    But hey, you can start smaller. We’ll ship a Bigfoot Vertical 12-Pack right to your door, which includes 3 x 12-oz bottles of different vintage years.
