Goose Island Black Friday: Indianapolis

[awhipker]

Ill let you reserve your spot for only $250. My offer includes a parking spot and a 312 glass.

Just want to clarify that the $250 gives us the opportunity to buy beer. Do we get sweet "Kahn's Goose Island Black Friday" certificates too?

Chicago is a **** show for finding any type of limited release beer. New Yorkers seem to have better luck finding bourbon county variants.

Probably the Goose Island marketing group.

I do, but I don't facebook. I was hoping for a better picture of the blue bottle ... the color looks kind of "off-brand" compared to the other bottles.

FB is the #1 way to know when to start the truck for most breweries and beer bars.....

In February it's how you go to 10am stealth PtY tappings, dome 3 pints with 10 people in the bar, and go back to work.

Sounds like a good flight.

They should have made the coconut label off-white like Vanilla to get people's jimmies rustled.

Pre-cisely. Too early to speculate on price? $65? $75? How about just saying, all the dollars?

 

[atoulouk]

Exactly what Rempo said. So down, then I dont have to explain to my inlaws why I am leaving dinner early for beer.

In the exact same situation.

For all we know, it will be draft-only for special events. It wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened!

I think you mean on-premise only and then leaking out to various small shops anyway.

 

[MordorMongo]

Rare 2.0 will likely be when I finally give up, laugh at all you *******, and leave this craft/hobby forever.

Something like :

Nope. Bottled. Released in 2ish years.

Or that's the plan...

Infected.

 

[lb304854]

Infected.

It also probably won't be called Rare.

I'd suggest RareR.

The second R stands for Rare.

Good - because RareR wasn't infected while Rare was. Wait what?

Kentucky Shelf Rare BCBS

Bourbon County Brand Rustles Stout.

 

[user 306237]

Google suggests a few synonyms for 'rare'. They include:
Few and Far Between
Thin On the Ground
Like Gold Dust
As Scarce As Hen's Teeth

Therefore, I recommend calling it Hen's Teeth.

Or maybe to go with all those French-ish names they pick for other beers:

Has GI specifically instructed stores to release BCBS and variants on Black Friday or is this at the stores discretion? I think I remember buying regular BCBS in early-mid October last year and variants closer to thanksgiving.

Last year it came out earlier than ever before, which was awesome. This year it is slated for Indiana, central Indiana at least, the week before Thanksgiving.
