    Damn, public plebs (i.e. me) only get 1.

    Replace black currant with raspberries and I would need a change of pants.

    So is the pre presale something that you can't just sign up for? How does one get these e-mails?

    Asking for a friend.

    Its basically an invite only club. I don't know whether or not they have added anyone since it's inception but there isn't anywhere to sign up.

    I hear that you had to have gotten every can for past 6 months to get an invite.

    Or take the best hazy pictures with a minimum of 20 emojis to describe the beer.

    Or been to Monkish back when they only served Belgians.

    Or just pure luck.

    That is a change, I originally saw it say limit 1 for public release, at least that is what was passed to me. I see that their instagram says 2pp...but that is another social media platform I don't bother to use.

    I have just acquired a can of Babbleship, How long does a Can of Monkish keep it's "taste integrity"? What would be the oldest Can of Monkish you would drink? 1 month old, 2months, etc.

    Post this question in the east coast forum since I see really stupid individuals get all hot and bothered when they see monkish ipa cans FT. I then check and see that the trader is just trying to offload months old cans, it's funny.

    Aging well is a pretty relative term for IPAs. Do they still taste pretty good with 6-8+ weeks time on them? Sure. But do you really want to stretch it out much farther than that? I wouldn't.

    I think it depends on the can but there have been people on this website saying some cans can start off “green” and after a week or two they are tasting much better. I remember hearing that most recently with Foggiest Window.
    I think it is generally agreed that IPA’s are best fresh.
