    SP traders absolutely wilding lately. First the cartel that bought all the RL persona, now the library tasting attendees…like it’s pre covid era again.

    I'm out of it on this one - what was released at the library tasting that is being dangled at pre covid levels?

    D12 bottles that aren't anything near what they used to be taste wise

    D12 (which has fallen way off, to be honest) and DBD Stagg, the brown wax bottle from last year's stout week.

    Whenever Library Chapter 2 drops, it'll be the same thing over again. Except clearly they have 10+ tastings worth of it to go around.

    Just one small correction if I'm reading you right:
    DBD Artifact was the bronze-y waxed bottle from Stout Week 2025.
    DBD Stagg Jr. was the similar color (maybe ...the exact same?) from Stout Week 2022, I believe.

    The Artifacts were the guaranteed to-go option yesterday (besides the Library Stout). And the Stagg Jr's were one of the five possible "bonus" bottles.

    I'm definitely interested to see how many Library tastings it takes before they finally run outta those Library Chapter 1 stouts. Presumably they've sold at least about 500 of 'em so far, if most people buy one at each Library Tasting they attend.

    Floue Floue and OLR unbundled for $20 and $25 ea? Hell yeah.

    I didn't love D18. I think I still have a few.

    That was the case for me too with this sale and the previous one. The beers never showed up on my desktop but showed up on my phone.

    Had to twice already so no need for me to drop $80 to try it again.

    My exact thoughts too. D18 bundle was sold out by the time my page reloaded and I didn't even care. Snagged one OLR and a couple Floue Floue before they sold out, and I'm more than happy with the price!

    We are somewhere vaguely in the top right rn
