Turns out they go back to 1910 and after that . . . <strong>Older than beer!</strong> Gotta love Stone.

Laziness. Darn, and here we thought it was some conspiracy to keep octogenarians away from beer. Yeah, he says they probably just randomly stopped at 1928 (in Goose's case) because they got tired of keying in the code.

We can just go back to the Village Tap for some good Tex-Mex Stan, then across the street to Mulligan's for an impy pint of Guinness -- the heck with the Irish Oak. ;) Actually, what am I thinking?

If Xtapulco is still open we'll get you over there, they specialized in molé and were damn good!!

Used to be a great Mexican restaurant there, and I'll always think of that. Not that I can blame the Irish Oak. Business started to go down hill when they lost/gave up their liquor license. Still some of the best mole we ever had. Steve – Can’t like the Irish Oak. Used to be a great Mexican restaurant there, and I’ll always think of that.

Finding it stupid and not wanting to be datamined, I put in 100 years old (it allowed even earlier years). The SA site came back with a nasty message that they take underage drinking seriously and that I was a bad person. Once I got in, rather finding useful information about a certain beer, I got a whole page of useless marketingspeak. Gist: 100 is too old to drink Sam Adams. Guess centurians will have to drink either Philadelphia Brewing or Yards. Sam Adams has that age thing too.
