They could make it smell like freshly shaven vagina and it would still be one of the dumbest ideas ever.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say if it did, roughly 75% of neckbeards would not recognize the scent.

I wonder if Specs in College Station is getting any. Maybe I should send my brother over there...

 

[black_cascade]

Love how many places say **** you to the whole black Friday madness and sell bottles early. Paid $9.99 apiece for two bottles of regular tonight while doing some last minute Thanksgiving shopping. I'm hoping coffee shows up around my neck of the woods.

 

[tosh1]

Am i am bad person for having Zero ******* interest in this ****? Srs.

Never tasted any variant, zero ******* interest, I have never given less ***** about any release of beer ever ( year whatever and counting).

A load of you take the piss out of #newmoney and people new to beer.

A load of you are ******* hypocrites.

I'm curious if anybody knows what percentage of regular BCBS is barrel aged?

 

[sacrelicio]

I'm curious if anybody knows what percentage of regular BCBS is barrel aged?

Like 50 percent, tops, especially since the buyout

 

[Lutter]

I'm curious if anybody knows what percentage of regular BCBS is barrel aged?

It's 0% barreled. The lime-a-rita guys are now putting "natural barrel flavors" in each bottle.

 

[Brez071]

Just paid $9 reg, $11 coffee, and $20 regal here.

The name of the store, that is

The Wine and Cheese Place in St. Louis is selling Rare for $53.99. I guess they didn't get the box.

 

[JulianB1]

Does anyone at Goose Island/ABInbev confirm that allocations are based on the amount of GI/ABInbev products sold over the year, or is that speculation? Because based on anecdotal stories I'm hearing it sounds like a load of BS. Or at the very least something at least some of the distributors just ignore.

 

[ClCardinal84]

Prop 2015. Took me a second to figure it out as well.

Prop 15 is a disgusting, sweet mess. Do not waste your time on it.

Damn... ya limit 3 is much higher than I thought it would be. Almost makes me want to brave the line. Almost....

I believe that distributors numbers are based on GI products sold (that's what I have been told) but yeah store numbers are decided how ever distributors want and it seems like they deviate from that.

Yeah I can see that being the case. It's just really bizarre how it's being allocated, seemingly. Some anecdotes:

-The two stores in my podunk town got tons of cases of regular (probably > 40 between the two). They do sell a ****-ton of Bud Light there.

-The biggest store in the biggest city in the state, which moves (to my knowledge) a huge amount of ABI/GI beer, is only getting regular (a "small amount", in their words - who knows what that means) and Rare, the latter of which is being raffled because there's so little (guessing 1-3 cases total).

-Some tiny-ass store in North Charleston (seriously it's one of these cool little hole-in-the-wall neighborhood stores, not one of the big ones down there) posted on Facebook they are getting 4 different types.

I don't really care because I'm in Vermont, more simply interested in how the logistics are determined.

 

[Josh2]

The largest allocation of 4 cases here is going to a Chevron station with a mediocre craft selection. Everywhere else is getting two cases and no variants.
The chevron is selling theirs at midnight and encouraging people to arrive earlier than that to ensure you get A bottle.

**** that noise. I won't stand in line for a brewery only release. I sure as hell ain't going to do it for a nationally distributed beer.

Patmans in Windham, love the redneck stores that move a **** ton of Bud and couldn't care less about doing "releases". I'd call first though it was getting pretty low already when I was there.

Also, you have a bunch of BCBS already, right?

Yeah, just "regular". Been sitting around for weeks locally. Could go looking around here for variants but not wasting the time.

So wise, much Vermont!

[archagon]

The Whole Foods near me was also releasing bottles today. No display (you had to specifically ask for it), limit 1 per person, 5 left by 3pm.

As my first BCBS, though, this stuff is incredible. So much brownie.

No variants in VT.

[Hookemhops13]

It's now about 10 people deep. Still 13 hrs early.





For beer.




That you can get tons of other places.




And not even all the variants.




I have a cherry rye cold I want to go chug right in front of all of them...
