    Will BA Bananversary receive the same hype it did last year? People were reselling their bottle to cover the cost of everything else.

    How long do they hold beer for pick-up if you order online?

    Same day only. If you place the order after they close you pick it up the next day.

    Sitting down to a Trunk Bait right now (Parliament Trunkadelic a nice date stamp touch) - would say it's meh. I'm getting practically no nose - thought I had COVID, smelled my wife's wine to test . There's a bit more on the swallow in fruit/nice piney bitterness, but it's a fairly bland beer overall IMO. Not terrible (i.e. gross drain pour) by any means, but lacking

    For some of the releases near the end of last year (Snowbirds and such) they held orders through the weekend. I would assume they will do much the same here, but keep an eye on their social media.

    $28 for a 16oz bottle, was that the cost they charged last year?! jeez.

    I might get a 5th, but I will probably pass on 6th, it was really underwhelming to me last year.

    I put on a solid 20 pounds of fried chicken in my first year of law school, so I feel that.

    I'm surprised that they'd put BA Bananaversary on the delivery list! Glad to have secured that, but I'm super bummed about no 4th anniversary IPA though.

    I am going to assume announcements tomorrow night for purchase at 10AM Friday, just going off what they have done the last 2 weeks. I will be happy with just a 4 of 7th, but will prob try for a few things if they are holding orders all weekend.

    Yeah, I'm getting very little on the nose/taste. There's that mineral dryness on the finish that's common in (non melon) OH beers. I poured it out. I don't have the time or extra calories for that shit.

    Anyone else worried about the anniversary triples?

    If indeed they are in a funk, why would these anniversary beers be great? Maybe they are afraid to brew 4th and ruin its great name!!

    No, if you're worried you just shouldn't buy them :stuck_out_tongue:

    +1 to this. Can we agree on white t-s with "Free 4th Anniversary" for the next meetup?

    Yeah, I guess the ol' "go by and try it on tap" isn't an option any more.
