aging gracefully

Awhile back, someone told me he'd recently cracked open a bottle of beer from 1999. It was a special occasion; he'd had the bottle stashed away since its release. I was curious. Was it good? Why? I started digging and discovered a subculture of passionate collectors who excel at the art of aging beers.
