You take his keys? Infinite likes if you do.
Dude has been sitting at the bar for a while now. Not drinking (beer, water or otherwise). I don't want to stare so I really can't figure how fouled up he may be. Definitely taking up prime real estate at the bar, though -- total dick move.
 
So you're saying there's a chance!
Looking at these FTs on this and the other site it looks like I am now hoping that former/regular trading partners who I have tricked into trading with me in the past will be able to get some of this stuff and send it to me because I do not have the ammo people are offering up. Crazy talk.
 
That's what the guy said! A brewer named Mark (maybe?). He said all bottles, no kegs. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong and I won't mind at all!
Funny thing about absolutes in the beer world...

No kegs - all bottles really means "there are probably at least 2-3 kegs floating around for festivals and events. ****, there's a pile of "experimental" kegs of BCS just sitting there at F&W. When I was there they almost mistakenly tapped Violet Hour Manhattan BCS on the employee tap deck.
 
He also said there are ~300 "projects" at any one time. Or some other number. Though, for sure -- every "project" could be a vastly different size, too. As has been determined, I am a terrible witness.

I am also well on my way to drunk. Cthulu remains the absolute **** and if ever there's a bottle release I regret missing...

But that also means I've been drinking BCS for 3 hours.

Oh! I think PP was just waiting for this beer. I think he's drinking it now. Just to keep y'all posted.
 
I still expect more waves of coffee and barleywine.

Four different places in the West/SW burbs today told me they'd be getting their first shipments of Bourbon County "next week" and one as specific as "the 10th." So yeah, I think there is more coffee coming too, just like last year. Just speculation though.

Anyone know if the new BCBS sniffy cups are going to be sold at the brewpub? I've muled/traded six of the old ones and never kept one because I didn't care for the glass. But the new one? Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggg.

Man, on Tuesday after visiting 20 mom and pop shops I was happy just to talk some coherent English. Who knows what will really happen.

One of my regular shops got reg BCBS and coconut only. They were supposed to get all the variants next Tuesday, but that showed up in a surprise shipment yesterday ... don't know what that really means but it's another data point.

I, being in Pittsburgh, got zero. Hopefully that changes next week.

They were available today for sale, but I don't know if they lasted/will keep selling them after yesterday. Best bet is to call and see. They had both the old and new ones at the pub yesterday.
 
Anyone know if there any bombers left in the west 'burbs? I know it's a small chance. Will be in the area tomorrow.

also... who wants to go fetch me another glass if they are still around tiz stylish and i'm being a good person and sending proper glassware in a trade and want one for myself
 
Well. Managed one bottle of Proprietor's after a lot of driving to stores/calling stores. Expected to get 0, got 1.

I drove around yesterday for a few hours and found nothing but regular. Really want to find some more coffee and barleywine (and Prop obviously).
 
I'm officially done "hunting." If I come across anything reasonably priced I'll definitely buy it, but I'm not going to go out of my way for anything. Since I got crickets offering up Saison du Fermier and VSB for BCBS variants I have a feeling I probably wont be able to trade for it either :rolleyes:
 
I know of one store that's waiting to sell their allotment on Friday at 5 -- who knows how early people will be lining up so I've already said to hell with it.

As far as trading, I was thinking of offering a King Henry or Bramble 1:1 for a Coconut but it doesn't seem like that will work (I know, throw up an ISO/FT and see what happens -- and I will, depending on how this week goes).
 
Do you think anyone around Chicago would be interested in doing 1:1 (4 packs), FT: 2012 BCBS ISO: Baleywine or 2013 BCBCS ???
