    Call me crazy, I don't think I am buying any of the MP bottles this year. I drink a fair amount of BA stouts and the challenge I find with adjuncts is that they fall off before I feel the BA heat mellows out to the point that I am ready to drink the beer. Sitting on a Coconut on cocoa bottle for 8-12 months losses a lot of the adjunct quality that I love. The coffee cans at the league tasting were perhaps the most ready to drink for my pallet. At a previous league tasting I asked Jacob what they recommend for drinking their BA stuff that has adjuncts, and he said within 3 months. I don't think I'll be ready for them that soon, so I am resisting my FOMO and using my head this year....

    That means there is more for the rest of you! Cheers!

    This sale will no doubt have the highest participation rate of the year, but I'd still be shocked if the League buys everything up during the first round of allocations, and I wouldn't be surprised if some variants make it through to the public sale even if (hopefully "when") we get an increase in limits on Sunday. Beer forums and FB groups are an echo chamber of the biggest fans and spenders, there are plenty of people in the League who might buy a bottle or two but are far choosier than those of us throwing our wallets at our laptop screens.

    I agree with drinking BA Adjunct Stouts sooner rather than later. There has been too many times that I have waited to open a bottle and it just did not measure up to how it tasted fresh. Based off the League previews, most of these bottles are ready to drink now anyways.

    Being said, I don't trade much anymore and I don't chase bottles down anymore, so I'll be stocking up on most of these Monster's Parks as I thought all of them tasted amazing.

    I don't have this problem but I just have so much other beer. Like I just got bottles of rBAVSS and while I know MP is completely different, I can't really justify adding MORE BA stout to my closet. Ha. I still need to get to the Spanish Brandy MP with Figs and that Rye Devils Teeth too.

    I wish I had more of that beer left. Tasted like a chocolate Maman to me. So smooth.

    I think the issues mentioned above about having to much beer will start to be a common theme. There is so much great beer out there and there was so much growth from breweries in the last 5 years that I suspect lots of great beers will start becoming readily available and much easier to be had.

    You're not crazy, that's exactly the thinking that got me out of Bruery RS after a couple years and more beer than I could properly store. I don't trade beers and when friends do come over they also have their own stuff to open, so it's actually quite difficult to deplete a collection of Barrel Aged Bombers/750s.

    Lately I find myself going after BA stuff in 12oz bottles/cans as it's a much more approachable format for me. I'm intrigued with the Nitro MP cans and am pleased by the move of things like Parabola and Lagunitas BA stouts to 12oz bottles.

    I think I should have not opened up a 2016 BAMP last night because I think it led me to spending even more than I would have. It was a delicious chocolate bomb. Aged really well.

    I cannot believe the amount of money that is getting spent right now. I was going to throw two cans of MP in with the two bottles of vanilla but when the total hit $103, I said NOPE. Haha

    I thought I was spending a lot at $260 or so. Then I see friends post $400 and $500 bills. I hear someone hit 4 digits on their checkout.

    I feel like a scrub.

    Can't you count Suzy's purchases as yours as well? That should raise you up to non-scrub level.
