2015 Bourbon County releases

[RyanG1]

Are we sure the tin can isn't just for the media samples that get sent out early?

Shut up with your rationale!

Shut up with your rationale!

You're right. The internet is no place for this type of behavior.

Looking forward to selling these tins on Ebay!

Seems like a lot of extra effort to go to (design and fabrication of embroidered metal tins) for some beer media dipshits, no?

 

[AndresR]

Never Forget.

 

[Lutter]

Whatever man. This exciting new packaging is a great new way to interface with a beloved product.

They can interface my dick with their mouth.

No. They love doing things like this for beer media dipshits.

I can't find it now, but I remember someone receiving a promo kit that included hops. I thought it was a Drunkspin post, but all I can find is the one where he got vaseline from Sweetwater.

Found it. For the Bud Black Crown media blitz, they sent out these. The little vials are the "ingredients".

$4 of retail product with $75+ in packaging/marketing materials.

This makes complete sense.

This makes complete sense.

The cost of sending a few of these out to "media" outlets was probably zero percent of their advertising budget when this product rolled out. Ads for Black Crown were everywhere.

We have no idea how much those vials of the Unknown cost, though.

oh man...i await the day of a BCBS commercial. LULZ.
AB-Inbev slappin' yer neckbeard dicks in 2015.

BCBS is going to be extra tasty this year just knowing that it chased off so many people thereby making it much easier to obtain

I will believe it when I see it.

It's gotten progressively worse.

 

[LukeAleTime]

Re media samples - they are regularly obnoxious as **** so that's likely what's happened here. I've got branded cricketballs in boxes filled with hay, bags of hops and beers in pointless drawstring bags.

 

[furley]

I will believe it when I see it.

the perks of living outside the eye of the storm

should be plentiful for a few days and hang around for weeks up here

 

[wolfman1201]

Never Forget.

I have a few of these empty at home (and some of the variants). Off to ebay I go...

 

[Der Fuchs]

Good job, they ******* ruined it. This seals it in my mind. Special packaging for Regular BCBS.

Say anything you want, this whole thing is now dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. I don't care if this marketing is only adding $2-$3/bottle broken down to the oz.

Not even gonna bother this year. All you neckbeards can have this ****.

I'll put every bottle I would've bought into 6/packs of local beer and get it on tap if I want it.

**** you you Belgian-South African homie sons of *******. Enough is enough.

Lol, welcome to the InBev era baby!

You can remove "beer" from your statement. This is what big companies do when they send out promotional stuff for their products, whether it's beer, video games, what ever.

 

[litheum94]

We could argue whether or not ABInbev was/is going to **** with quality of GI's beer until we are blue in the face. But none of us should be surprised at all about the re-branding and media blitz that they are doing with BCBS.

lol wut? #newmoney!?!!

How about the fact that it's been jacked up in price considerably and down in availability at about be same rate...

When we were all (for good reason, myself included) assuming after hearing GI would have access to much more resources, that the opposite would be true...

Remember "year round BCBS" ... LOL to the ******* max !!!! Now for InBev its ideally available only one day a year.

You must not remember... The whole insanely stupid releasing BCBS on Black Friday only happened after InBev . Before this, it was just sent out in middle October until early the next year, in multiple shipments, without the hype and standing in lines.... Just a few years ago, BCBS was already in stores by now, quite readily available , in 4 packs, for $20.99, in regular bottles ....

I find it hilarious that you called me new money. You are an idiot.

Edit: to be clear, I am anti AB-InBev. I don't but GI, 10 Barrel, Elysian, etc.

But you're still an idiot.

For every grizzled veteran who is salty and not going after BCBS there will be 10 new monies chasing trucks and talking about what IPA would be best on a deserted island.

And I ain't even mad about that. **** it all.

Pfffff. It's arguably the funniest line of the movie. Pull your head out of your ass.
