Beer That Will Last Until 2030?
I generally don't write "personal posts" on this blog unless they're beer-related (which this is, at least tangentially), but it's not every day that your only sibling has their first child.
Congratulations to Lisa and Anthony DeMalia on the birth of Anthony Michael-John DeMalia, Jr.!
Now on to the beer. I will be visiting Lisa and Anthony at some point in the near future, and I want to present them with a gift for their son that they can all enjoy on his 21st birthday in 2030. Do I go with a lambic? Take a chance on a bottle of Full Sail Black Gold or Deschutes Abyss holding up that long?
Ideally I'd like to get something local in order to better reflect where I was in life on this joyous occasion, but I'm not opposed to something imported if anyone has any great ideas. The only caveat is that it should be something locally available whether it's an Oregon beer or an import because I probably won't have time to work out a trade before my visit.
Thoughts?

Lambic would probably be best, not sure anything else will hold up well after 21 years, well I guess Thomas Hardies. Abyss has gone downhill after 3.
How about a Fred or Adam from HOTD? I'd imagine those would hold up for a long time ... Doggie Claws might, too, but this isn't really a Christmas baby, either.
You should see if you can get you hands on a bottle of Dave... That'll make it another 21 I'm sure. Isn't RRBC bottling up a "lambic", that could be something to think about.

Roots Epic
Samichlaus ... very unique
Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I hadn't considered a bottle of Epic, but since we still have a bunch of magnums in stock I might just have to go with that. I also hadn't considered Samichlaus either, that might be an interesting choice...
Cheers!
