    Or possibly trying to experience it fresh, on draft before deciding if they want to age it or not.

    Yeah....I second this question. Anyone currently at More determine how long until Karma kicks? Ballpark estimate? Appreciate it

    Personally I've found that 95% of the beers (sours/lambics excluded) got worse over time. This is especially the case for beers heavy on the adjuncts. If you mean by 'aging', keeping it around for up to a year until a good time to drink... probably fine. Keeping this kind of a beer longer would likely result in flavor that only presents a shelf of its fresh self. Just my opinion. People can and should do what they want with it.

    Just left there half hour ago and line was 20ish to get in, but if people eat/have a pour could be a while to get in. To go line was empty.

    I laugh at people still wanting and paying for Rare Scoop at the $1k it goes for. That thing has to be completely useless at this point. I had it 5 months post release and the strawberry was already slightly fading.

    GTFO here with assuming anyone would be reasonable!!!!!

    Yeah, I'm jealous. Skipping the Mikerphone peanut butter jelly stout though, if you want to try for the Grand Salami (which coincidentally I hear is the next bean spirit variant).

    If you are debating on going to More now is probably the time. No line, tables available. Marbles cans are gone. Karma is incredible!

    According to the waitress she doesn’t know much, but she thinks they have a lot. I think you should be good if you want to come tomorrow. It’s one 5oz pour per person and they mark your hand

    Unfortunately the staff there is horrible and they can barely serve tables or tend bar so I doubt they have any insight on how much beer is left... Although I havent sat down in there for about 6 months so maybe things have changed.

    Wow, I had lunch there last week and the bartender was working her butt off. I have no idea how that translates to her knowledge of how much beer is left though.

    Last time I was there the bartender was too busy talking to her friends (sitting next to me) and I sat there with and empty glass for 15 mins before she asked me if I wanted anything else and I said just the check

    BA Karma still flowing? I think it might be their best beer yet. Reminded me a lot of Chaos 17. Cinnamon, chocolate with loads of toasted coconut. Not a lot of barrel presence although I did pick it up once it warmed to room temperature… it was really delicious.

    I hope MoRE takes after Mikerphone and continues to make a lot of their more limited and barrel aged beers available on draft for at least 2-3 days. That generally makes everyone happy, both people that can score bottles and locals that then have the opportunity to at least try it.

    Similar experience. Ours took 20 mins just to show up at our table the first time, then vanished for 20 mins at a time whenever we ordered a beer. This was a few months ago, though.
