The TEXAS thread!

What is the word on Bomb! in Austin this week? I gave zero ***** for BCBS but would like to pick up some Bomb! when it lands. Is it as hot as BCBS?

I'm sure it'll be just as hot if by hot you mean people chasing it.

Not near as hot and not near as good IMHO.

That's unfortunate. Really had not no appreciation for the bottle of BCBS I had, will have to try Bomb! and find out - could end up saving a ton of money with all these current releases!

No. Chases are dumb.
By 'hot' I was asking if it is strong boozy forward and overwhelming (my perceptions of BCBS).

Bomb is not barrel aged so totally different. I felt it too coffee forward and just not nearly as good.

Also, Bomb is more expensive than BCBS. I think $8 a bottle.

 

[doobiegoobie]

Pretty much a shelf turd...

Just went through the 5 stages of grief. Lubbock isn't getting any at all. What the Specs twitter said after I asked if we were getting any BCBS: "No, not our decision. BCBS in major metros only..."

Alllllll byyyyy myyyselllllfffffff. Don't wanna beeee.. alllll byyyy mmmmyyyyselffff anymorrrrreeeeee

Ahhhh Pirate is the Barrel Aged variant, for some reason I had thought the whole Bomb! lineup was.

Taste is subjective. I enjoyed BCBS, but Bomb is mindblowingly good IMO. Liked it even more than Hunahpu.

 

[nablock]

Sorry, I said it wrong. Bomb is crap. Don't even open the bottles once you've bought cases of it. Just pm me for my address and I'll dispose of it for you.

That it is...

 

[rainer1]

I'll wait for it to go on sale on the Intelligentsia website and it'll be fresher and not pre-ground.

The coffee was pre-ground? Nevermind, I don't want it.

 

[mdeluna]

Welp, guess I'm going to have to drink this intellgentsia crappy pre ground coffee.. ugh.

Is it barrel aged coffee or just the beans they used in BCBCS 2013?

I've yet to try BBA Coffee Beans, but they smell like heaven!

I would choose Bomb! over BCBS 100 times out of 100. Crazy good beer. Please leave it all on the shelves for me.

I did enjoy batch 2 much more than batch 1.

I liked your post at first after reading "Bomb is crap". Then I read the rest and un-liked it. We can't be friends anymore.

That being said I will buy up as much as I can when it hits just so I can hold it hostage for infected barrel-aged Chicken Killer barleywine.

Slothy baby, come back to me! I'll treat you right this time! I promise!

It's not infected... they meant for that to happen!

Yeah, I laughed when I read that too... lol

I have other business investments to make that don't involve me hurting my very tiny sloth heart.

Heart broken or slightly aroused?

Not that I have any inside information or anything, but Bomb! will probably be on shelves Friday, or very early next week...

And from what I don't hear... there will be a shitload of it.

Efit: Just kidding, it will be tomorrow. Spec's tweeted.

Well?


I swear I keep getting swindled at Specs on price. Either that or their online prices are cheaper than in-store. I almost always pay cash and never get the advertised price online.

 

[Phil_S]

Spec's on Smith got 25 cases, all gone.

D&Q got 30, all gone.

HEB is getting 20 cases for ALL their stores, going out this week.

Also, I don't know that another shipment of BCBS is going out next week as well. A large chain hasn't gotten theirs yet.
