They got caught, Bill. They pulled everything from the shelves.

I didn't say nothin' to nobody

Glad I got tipped off early

I know a few other stores that will for sure have it, but sadly I won't be in the city this weekend until Sunday. By the time I get back, I'm sure everything will be gone. So if you need more, I'll let you know the other spots.

So pretty

Houston has a F-ed up way. There is a local Liquor store who's main hub is downtown Houston (45min drive for me) that has a strangle hold on the market and douches that lies to customers (to me). What i heard they are getting all variants. Houston always get screwed on releases. Never enough and most inner loop (in the city). I live outside the city granted Houston is huge but we get scraps where I live. Plus the distributor that has Firestone has Budweiser so they are huge and corporate asses. Distributors have too much power here. That is why Texas is behind on the craft beer boom but its catching up.

Here the distributor gives them to whoever sells the most GI. My shop got 1 case of BCBS while another store about 5 miles away got 8 cases.
Unfortunately we don't get any variants.

According to my beer guy, the store with the most GI sales gets the most beers, as hawgwild81 said.
Last year, GI was new to our market so my local got 19 cases of regular, 3 cases each of coffee and Barleywine. This year, based solely on sales, my local is getting 8 cases of regular, 1 case each of the variants and 1 case of bombers. Hence the reason I stopped in there last night to grease his palms with a bottle I picked up in Tampa.

Thats is what happens here too. Guess it not as craft beer forcus up here. I think they unfairly give some account a hell of a lot more

 

[val214]

Out here in CA it's 2-4 cases per account if they are lucky. Along with one case of one variant. The 12oz bottles are being sold as singles and the bombers are being "raffled" off.

I wouldn't doubt that happens. My guy was told he was getting 2 cases. Then only 1 showed up.
If I can locate more, you might see some around December 15th

I love being able to say I have a beer "guy". It makes finding things/saving things for me so much easier.

 

[hawgwild81]

I did receive a shipment from my trustee the other day. I've only had BT once and it was a 2oz pour. It was awesome! So needless to say I'm excited to finally have some more. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1417029934.598419.jpg

I'm a pretty big deal. I have many leather bound books. People know me.

You guys should consider yourselves lucky. We have an archaic law that doesn't allow beer over 12% ABV to be sold here. So any hint of BCBS is a road trip.

Dual eMAW grants landed on the same day. From Hulud and TobyG, respectively.

These guys hate my porch.

Thanks again guys and everyone have a great Thanksgiving!

One bottle per person limits on Bourbon County is dumb

Missed the coffee by 2 people, I got the last 2 Barleywine. A rep from the distributor oversaw all sales, everything sold out in 30 minutes.

 

[Brewbien]

ISO Bourbon County (standard or any variants) if anyone wants to setup a trade.

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Drove all around gods country pa this morning, not a single bottle to be found.

 

[mikeysab]

My measley haul. I have more '13 than I do '14. No variants at all.

[tripplehazzard]

All I found. I may be able to get one more 12 oz. Never seen any variants around here.. the illusive bcbs in its un-natural habitat

Wife and I were first in line this morning. 2 coffee one vanilla bcbs and some extras.

Store I hadn't been to for a while. They had a bunch of large format bottles.

 

[bigmike99]

Went to three different places only to find out no one out this way is putting any out until next weekend.

2 stores in Nassau sold some weds and had it yanked by reps.

I've heard some of that through the rumor mill around here as well.

 

[bigmike99]

If anyone posts a haul of cases of any variants I'll take it as an invite to 1. come over and have one, or 2. steal them and distribute to those of us not as lucky
