    Would it age in a keg well?

    I’d say you either have to drink it in a relatively short time frame or age the entire thing. You can’t drink half and age the other half. The air in a half filled keg will mess with the taste eventually I think. So my vote is to age it until the next PJ show in NY and then we’re all coming by your place! ;)

    Good question. I have zero experience there. I don’t think glass does anything for the aging process, so it comes down to whether or not the aluminum keg will hurt the taste.

    Agreed. The aluminum is the factor. I'd research asap. I did hae some prop 2017 last week in a keg but no idea how long it was in there

    I drank a 2013 BCBS last night and it was fantastic. 

    Aging it isnt a problem as long as it’s in a fridge. Ive got my local distributor that will hold it for me. 

    Its a hell of a lot of beer. 

    I was also also thinking of doing an event with my local distributor.

    Woah. Congrats on that Keg

    My brother and I did very well. I got a case of regular and 3-4 of each variant (though to be fair, we went to Prop day and already had a leg up with some vanilla and Prop .

    If anyone wants to trade a reserve lmk. I have 2016 2017 2018 base. I have some barleywine too. I also have 2 2015 rare but think I'm holding on those.

    Wow!  Congrats on that win...that's awesome.  I ended up with a whole bunch of regulars and all the variants except reserve and wheatwine/coffee barleywine.  Obviously wanted the reserve but wasn't interested in the other 2.  Still bummed that they didn't do a regular coffee this year...that's always one of my favorites.

    Had the regular 2018 last night....awesome as usual.  Going to a local spot later today where they are tapping vanilla and midnight orange.  Very excited for the vanilla....sounds like it is a really good one.
