2015 Bourbon County releases

[drgarage1]

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

It's a really bad movie.

Wrong. There are 20+ better lines in that movie.

I'll show myself out, thanks

Wait is that line supposed to be better?

The line you posted is the absolute worst line of the entire movie.

Whomever won the Oscar that year for Best Supporting Actor should have handed it over to Farley.

Back to the point - furley knows his stuff about marketing and product cycle. Hope to dome a Rare this year in your honor.

... I've got branded cricketballs in boxes filled with hay..

Im having a hard time wrapping my head around this. How small of an iron would you need to brand cricket balls? And to be able to brand the balls without doing significant damage to their skinny little legs? Absolutely amazing.

If you have to ask, you'll never know.

product is released and finds an audience
product sells quickly and has people clamoring for more
product gains in popularity
company realizes that product has potential as a money maker
company makes a lot more and doesn't want to risk getting stuck with product on the shelves
company markets the **** out of said product to bring in new eyeballs
new consumers vastly out-number the early adopters
early adopters get mad that what was once "theirs" is now "popular"
early adopters move on
new consumers swell in numbers rendering the exodus of early adopters moot
product reaches its tipping point
popularity declines
company attempts to calibrate supply and demand to make a profit as no business is in business to lose money
product either disappears or early adopters get nostalgic and return


bottom line: people suck

me included

Fix up your zipper. Your MBA is hanging out...

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...

Chicago receives more Bourbon County than they ever have. It's spread more thin across accounts and more people want it. Then there is the whole Beer Geek per Capita argument I have been making since 2011...

The problem with availability is GI's obsession with being in every single market with every product in their portfolio. While crashing GI's Christmas party a couple of years back, I cringed when the DoO celebrated bringing their whole line to all 50 states during his big ra-ra speech knowing they cannot fulfill demand in their home state. Perhaps it's terribly selfish to think this way but I hate the idea of perpetual expansion when your home market is yet to be sated.

 

[boogercrack]

**** the locals.

Send more to me.

Thnx.

it sucks but this is the way of things

if you ain't growing, you're dying

But you can grow without thinning the product in established markets.

clearly the solution for Chicagolanders (extending out to Tennessee in the east and Minot in the West) is to move somewhere with better stock

Whatever you don't want, buy for me?
November in GB is a bit cold for kiddie pooling, no? Better to freeze it to skate on at a tailgate party.

I am looking forward to reading the threads about Black Friday in Chicago much more than I am looking forward to actually getting Bourbon County this year.

 

[abecall98]

I am looking forward to reading the threads about Black Friday in Chicago much more than I am looking forward to actually getting Bourbon County this year.

The best part is getting your first bourbon county and opening these threads while you drink the easily purchased bottles outside of Chicago.

I heard that BCBS, BCBBW, BCBCS are each $10 while Regal & Prop will be $30 each and Rare $70 each at Binny's.

If you go on an assumption that suburban Binny's are only getting a case of Rare each (which I have no idea if it is true), I honestly think you'll see people lined up there Thursday evening. Just a guess, but it would not surprise me.

As if this wasn't already going to be a huge shitshow, the fact that you can get at least one of every bottle should pretty much guarantee that this will be the worst release of all time.

I might just go and sit in the parking lot and watch the spectacle unfold.

This is going to be the greatest day in beer history. I'm hoping I'll be sitting by a warm fire in a Vermont farmhouse drinking growlers of HF beer and watching the spectacle unfold on my computer.

while you wonder if your girlfriend is getting banged by some old flame in the backseat of a Buick outside the town's most popular bar.

Ahh, the holidays!

But dude, her dad only drinks BMC.

 

[Cruize4Gueuze]

Does anyone know if Jacksonville is doing another pub crawl the Wednesday before Thanksgiving like they did last year? Is anyone from Jacksonville even on this site?

If you had half a brain in your head, you'd throw the ******* computer in the fire and just enjoy your surroundings and your beer.
