Roger, would you or any other beer expert suggest a few of the "more artisinal brewers" that I should give a try? Thanks! DD

I'm biased, but I love the Ommegang Abbey after about a year in the cellar. Yum.

Spinning off from Belgian abbey ales to other cellarworthy treasures, I've got one, each, 1994 and 1995 Thomas Hardy's Ale sitting around here that I'm wondering if I held for too long. Legend has it that they'll age for 25 years, but I can't help wondering about that.
