    Even though I live close, first time at Moksa in 2020.

    Got to try the BA Mostra 5th. Coffee was very upfront still. Some barrel helped, so it wasn't overly sweet, but still Pastry....Vanilla and Maple..... YMMV. Solid.

    Also liked the Suspended Contemplation IPA. Strata Hop forward.

    I was astounded to see they had 515 bottles of the Mostra 6th Anniversary collab and set the limit at 3 per person. Seems like a real high limit for that many bottles. Are their stout release days still crazy?

    Hi all, I've never been to Moksa but I'll be in the area this Friday. I'm interested in those two triple IPAs that they'll be releasing on Friday at noon. Is anyone familiar with how fast these will sell out? One has a 6 4-pack limit and the other has a 4 4-pack limit. I probably wouldn't be able to get to the brewery until 8pm Friday night. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Their IPA cans last several days or even weeks. Most now go to local distro after initial sale at brewery. You should be fine.

    It really depends on the hype/fomo..lol... Also member pre-sale makes the public lines shorter. Not all members will double up with Public.

    Mostra 6th was still available the next day after release (didn't sellout right away). It is still on tap a week and a half later.

    Not sure what the line will be like this Saturday for Moksa Two??
    BA - Yes.
    Hype Adjuncts - No.
    Hype Collab - No.
    Hype low bottle count - We'll see?

    Never been to a release, just wondering how the line usually is and what time I'd have to get there. I know BAPM sold out by like 5AM, but is there a lot of hype on this one?

    Pastry method was gone by 430am (I got there at 415). I don't anticipate this being nearly as bad. But it all depends on bottle counts they post tonight. I had it today on draft and got my one member bottles. Its pretty good and hides its 17%. Reminds me of old school 2013ish Bourbon county. Great barrel to it.

    Pastry method is on a whole different playing ground !! If you show up at ten I am pretty sure you will be fine !! Just my 2 cents it could sell out first but I don’t think so

    Bottle count at 630 right before midnight, not surprised by the late but nonetheless useful info.

    So basically if you show up at 11 am you’re good

    Yeah I think if you show up before closing time you’re fine !! It’s not a Horus bottle that’s why no one is lined up for it

    Back at Moksa this past weekend. Tap list was very Stout heavy.

    Moksa ONE was back on tap, still good. Also tried the new "LLL" Lager.

    [​IMG]

    3 PLY TIPA was also back. Very pineapple forward.
