    More like 6 months. These are freshly emptied barrels so it's gonna pick up flavor quick.

    I saw the same dates that @ArrogantB saw on the IPA and 2x4. The Hubert I saw was from April.

    Just drank a 4/21 MPA and it was dope. Snagged some 5/27 IPA and tasted a bit grassy to us, might smooth out a bit in a couple more days. Still excellent tho.

    At Highlands Ranch beer festival yesterday, surprised to see Melvin being poured at the Crooked Stave tent. Even though I had some in the fridge, had to get 2nds of each (Hubert, IPA, 2x4). Great stuff.

    Pretty sure Hubert is my favorite beer around.
    Sorry, Odell IPA, I love you, but I think I may have found someone else... It's not you, it's me etc.

    It really is close to perfect, isn't it? Until (if ever) Comrade or Cannonball Creek start canning, it's this one and 'Bout Damn Time for me.

    The last MPAs I picked up were about three weeks old- that works for me!

    I'm deliberately holding a can of each until they're 6 months old just to see how they hold up. :wink:
