    Not trying to be the 'trade police' nor saying it's impossible to land Handjee 16, but I think you would need a lot more to garner interest. There was only 660 bottles of Handjee 16, which is substantially less than any other year. Many of those have since been consumed or traded away.

    You may be closer to Handjee 17 (1227 bottles I believe), but even there you would likely need another very solid bottle.

    In either case good luck and I hope you land one. Marshmallow Handjee (and '16 specifically) is my #1 favorite all time beer. It will live up to the hype.

    I honestly wasn't sure where I was with that offer and hoped to get some discussion going. You were the only one to respond - which I'm sure is not surprising to you lol. I was lucky enough the get two 17 handjees but the 16 will be a tougher find. Really appreciate the info man.

    No problem! And that's great on two Handjee 17s (I too was equally fortunate to land two at DLD 17). I was also fortunate to land two Handjee 16 at DLD16. I consumed one with a friend and the other I traded away for Barrel Aged Abraxas '17 + Tete de Cuvee batch 1, just to give you an idea of what it took for me to give up my second bottle of it.

    Right on. That gives me a better gauge of what it takes to land a '16. Thanks again!
