"Old age... it's the only disease, Mr. Thompson, that you don't look forward to being cured of."

Some beers, like some films, actually improve with age. Aged barley wine works really well with this Orson Welles classic. Stronger ales (9% ABV and above) are proving that the right beers can age as well as the world’s finest Bordeaux.

Every movie goes well with a Wisconsin beer.

Except for the Bad News Bear. That flick demands some port.
