        If it's Hoptimum you're referring to as being "3 months old", Sierra Nevada intends to brew it year 'round as long as the hops are available. Some markets recently got batches brewed in May and in June.

            You'll have to go through their age check first, of course, and apparently they are converting from dating the individual bottles on the labels to inkjet stamping on the neck directly on the glass (unfortunately) starting this past March so that pdf is somewhat out of date.

        I've had it and it's very good. I thought last year's might have been a little better. I also really like the current Southern Hemisphere.
