2015 Bourbon County releases

[yamar68]

honestly, probably good timing so i can consider re-upping Bruery this year. a couple hundred bucks for all-i-want-in-a-year super easy, world class stouts...

Gross.

 

[harrymel1]

Anybody know if a case will be considered 12 or 24?

Did not read.

**** all this noise.

Don't leave out the chance they go Firestone and do 6. Or **** maybe they'll be trendsetters and send them individually. One of each per store, every account gets one allotment.

"Have fun with that, fuckers!"

If everyone ******* enough I can see them going back to the old format once again. There were most likely numerous meetings among suits discussing (and laughing) about how enraged certain fanatics would become about the new bottle format...

Personally, I think it's a money grab and nothing more. But let's be honest, they know they have a hot commodity on their hands and are acting accordingly. Unless there is some significant recoil, I can see them sticking to the change...but never underestimate strength in numbers. If anyone is that unhappy about the change, let it be known via social media and stuff.

As much as it may make me sound like a wussy, I honestly don't need an extra 5 oz of standard BCBS in my bottle as a nightcap, which I like to do solo from time to time (as do many others I know). So that is a distinct new format disadvantage that "they" already saw a way around. Of course they will espouse the virtue of drinking responsibly while realizing that the price per oz is going up and suggest that bottles of BCBS were never intended to be solo'd regardless. So they will get more cash and simultaneously have people splitting 16.9 oz bottles of the rare stuff instead of 22 oz while receiving more $ per ounce. Pretty sneaky...

I am honestly really curious about what this means for how much BCBS we're used to seeing delivered at our usual retailers. Will the distribution be spread a lot more equally now, especially to areas that have past been starved for variants and even regular? Will areas that never even received BCBS get some now? Will it be 17 16.9 oz bottles to a case to equal that of 12 24 oz bottles?

Friends tell me that the format change means more beer for everyone, but I can't help but see it as more $ in AB InBev's pockets and nefarious intentions.

I would honestly love someone to prove my concerns wrong, but as usual it's all about the $.

Eagerly awaiting 2025's 4 oz Bourbon County "nippers" bottle format for $39.95. They're looking to gradually cook us up to the $ per oz ratio that they want. Thumbs up...

do people really think that companies purposefully, knowingly, attempt to sabotage themselves to spite their consumers?

A 12 oz BCBS night cap usually makes me pretty drunk. The 17oz is gonna be trouble.

I would be in favor of 5 oz bottles of BCBS.

This. I made it through about half a bottle last year before I used the rest for brownie batter.

 

[davey101]

Remember that time when everyone creamed their pants for 2009 bombers?

Alright! You're great zombie.

Is this an obscure euphemism?

Better than Rare they said...trade whatever you can for it they said...

 

[Lutter]

The sad thing is they're gonna get away with this.

Beer is ******.

Seeya in line!

 

[boogercrack]

"get away with this"

the hell does that mean

 

[regularjohn]

why is everyone complaining about the bottle size? do you even MarkIntihar bro?

Still doing really well, FYI.

GI confirmed on facebook that there will be back labels so counterfeiting *shouldn't* be as easy as people thought initially. Not that it won't happen.

Oh thank god, they are "stuck on firmly" so it should be fine!

Oh, you'll see...

 

[oakwoodaged]

I'm new to beer (disclaimer) and want to try prop but I don't live in Chicago so **** me right?

I think the bottles are interesting I just wish the would have etched "prop" or "rare" in the botte instead of the scarf label. I know Chicago is cold in November but my beer doesn't need a scarf.

 

[furley]

is peeling labels then sticking them on another bottle a rampant problem?

i have literally never heard of this happening. who is impacted?

Peeling labels not out of the realm of possibility
