I'd drink them soon, the aging rec is usually maxed at 5 years. I had a bottle of 2011 last year and it seemed like it was about to go bad.

For example, Voodoo Ranger has an average score of 3.68 while Goose IPA has an average score of 3.54.

For the other beers available on AA: Heineken is 2.92. Miller Lite is 2.43. Bud Light 2.27. Corona 3.06. Not sure if they have those beers or not. I don't drink them (unless that's all there is and they are free!).

If you're a beer nerd, it's a fun app to have!

I love UNTAPPD, though there needs to be a better system for reporting at airports. Nothing worse than when I search for 'nearby' beers or venues and they are 5 miles outside the airport. Maybe in Austin, where I could feasibly slip out and go to Live Oak, would I take the chance of leaving. The airports, like the planes themselves, are full of fake craft crap (yes, that's you SAM ADAMS and GOOSE) or domestic macro beers. There are some exceptions, though not many: PHL terminal C has a good beer bar at the end of the terminal and Cat Cora's in the SFO termnal has good stuff as well. Otherwise, it's pretty lame. That's it...I'm starting a thread...

If you're willing to venture out of the AUS airport during a layover for craft brew, don't miss out on Hops and Grain (Hops & Grain ? Award Winning, Craft Brewery in Austin Texas) or Zilker Brewing (https://www.zilkerbeer.com/) which are both about 6 miles away..
