I think Nielsen and IRI numbers are updated regularly but I count on the stories that aggregate them a couple of times a year. I suspect you'd get a good idea if you subscribed to Beer Business Daily. Dave – I won’t see numbers on a timely basis.

I was at my girlfriend's old family cabin in CO this summer and stumbled across some Anchor beers, 3 Porters and 3 Liberty Ales, that we guessed to be from the mid-eighties or so. (This could be wrong, but the only date markings we found were the copyright dates on the labels, which were marked 1986.) We chilled one of each to try, and both weren't really palatable. The porter still had flavors reminiscent of its true form, but the Liberty not so much, and they were both vinegary in taste. A sip or two was all that we could handle. That being said, if I came across another similar find, I wouldn't hesitate at all to take my chances and taste that beer. Speaking of old beers and Anchor..
