It appears Devotion is different than Saint’s Devotion:

Old Forum Post

There is only an entry for an ’08 Saint’s Devotion in the DB right now. Lost Abbey won a medal for Saint’s Devotion at GABF so would that have been a newer one, or does the existing entry for Saint’s Devotion need to purge the specific year?

Medal Winners

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated!

1. How do you know its not just old bottles?
2. If it is new then unless the recipe is different I would guess that they’ll just drop the 08 and put a note in the commercial description.

Thanks for your response. They were pouring the beer from pitchers so I don’t think they were bottled (or from 08), and since it was entered in the competition it leads me to believe it is a current batch (not sure if you are allowed to enter vintage beers). Can’t find anything online that leads me to believe it is a different recipe.
Cheers!

I dont know if its normal to serve old beers at GABF but I’ve heard that Sam Adams sends in 12oz bottles of Millennium every year. Is it possible to see all the entries at GABF?

The GABF page only reads "Saint’s Devotion":

In my opinion it is the same beer, just needs the entry updated to not specify 2008...

Ok, but since we dont know if it’s actually a new batch maybe you could send Lost Abbey an email and find out. Or else remind me and I’ll ask when I’m there for the barrel dinner in a week and a half.

It was a new batch brewed for GABF this year. They sold a limited amount of date stamped bottles of it at the tasting room recently.

They were pouring it from bottles at the SD Brewer’s Guild booth. I thought it was the regular version until I had a taste and it clearly had Brett in it.

My GF bought two bottles at the brewery for $25/each. Recently, I noticed that there is some brown goo oozing around the cork. I heard Lost Abbey has issues sealing their bottles, and I was wondering if I should get a refund for this.
