FIB War Room

[gpawned]

Is it still a sneak peak if Bourbon County has already been released?

Depends...is it new to you?

So the trade forums are about to get real FIBby, real soon folks. I caught wind that apparently 460 cases of Surly Darkness will begin to hit Chicagoland next week. If I had additional details, I'd share them. I got my info from a beer buyer that put in an order for it. I figure my first post over here might as well be meaningful.

With Smoke at $18, I'm not sure that I want to know what Darkness is going to retail for...

I love it ... we FIBs don't even have to go to other state's big releases anymore, now they are starting to come to us.

smoke was a buck less in MN.... so im guessing your looking at like 21 or so... with markups at some stores look for 25 bucks maybe?

Is it really $18? That's going to rot on the shelves next to all of last year's Eclipses.

Has anyone tried anything from Une Année? I hadn't even heard of them until today.

We're supposed to get Darkness next week?!

And here I thought my hoarding was done for the year.

 

[stxSS07]

Hope Darkness and new BCBS waves hit at the same time so I can cruise around at my leisure while the unibrows scree for Surly.

I still don't believe this second wave rumor. (for variants, I mean)

Happened last year...and the year before dat.

I just want a case of BCBS without having to buy single 4-packs or 1-2 bottles at a time.

That's true, I did find a ton of Coffee last year weeks after release.

Probably bought a case worth around this time last year. Bombers just kept showing up, so I kept drinking 'em.

TLDR I was real fat last winter.

BCBS could have been bought by the case at numerous stores around Black Friday week.

The two I saw were:
1) a raffle
2) 4pk limit

I also didn't want to run around during Black Friday, so there's that.

P.S. Stay away from my Beerkots they're almost out of Breakfast Stout because of you.

I know of at least one shop getting a secondary shipment of 25 mixed cases, versus their original 50 case allocation. No word on Proprietor's, but Coffee and BW should be expected.

I tried a glass of their Maya (a Belgian IPA @ 7.6%) on tap a few weeks back. It was decent and probably worth trying. I think the price was a little high ($8 for 12oz.) but I blame the bar and not the brewery. I don't see myself buying any bottles since they're (probably?) priced $10+ per bomber.

Speaking of retail prices, The Beer Temple got its first ever shipment of Zombie Dust last night and gave it all away for free. Per the owner, "I said that if I ever got in @3floyds Zombie Dust I'd give away every drop because I was tired of the gouging. Well, it's here."

Anyone headed to Fischman's for the X-Mas party on Saturday? I was thinking about going but can't convince any of my buds to start getting trashed at 2pm. Hoping it will be a bunch of beer geeks. Anyone go last year? if so how was it?

Are you sure they aren't secretly ditching you for 4Elf?

Thought about it, but then I remembered they were charging $14/snifter for barleywine on Black Friday. Nawwwwwwww.

Oh yeah I forgot about 4Elf, I guess all the hard core Beer geeks will be there? I guess I'll have kegs of Samichlaus, Scaldis, Proprietors and Parabola 2012 all to myself.
