    I tasked my poor father to drop by a shop on his way home from work (its like 5 blocks from his house) so hopefully he can score some for me.

    My local store was handing out mixed 4-packs (2 regular + 1 coffee + 1 BW). It wasn't on the shelf, had to ask. Also scored a bottle of Abyss. Considering I woke up to fresh dog crap all over my house, I'm still feeling really lucky today. It's out there!

    Went looking right after work yesterday and today. I usually get off between 1-2pm. Have been able to secure 2x Barleywine, 2x Coffee, and 6x Regular so far. I stopped at 4 stores total and called many more. Seems alot of stores will be getting it later in the week or even next week. Any some mentioned getting variants later this week after getting just the regular Monday or Tuesday.

    Yeah I lucked out, F44, walked in there after lunch, saw the trucks in the lot.... Got a mixed 4, 2 regular, 1 BW, 1 Coffee, and scored 1 regular at the MGM by lake calhoun. Ive got rumors about a 2nd wave friday at some of the bigger stores like Lunds/Byerlies, but nothing definitive.

    I also scored 3 abyss, and picked up some other random stuff.

    Wow, so that is like 3 1/3 of the regular. Did not know that! Well, I have other things I would trade, like a 2010 Abyss. But this isn't a trading forum, so I should shut up.

    Why, exactly? Because then it might only sell out in 2 hours, instead of 30 minutes?

    I have yet to meet someone that scored one bottle and said "well, I'm all set on BCBS." That's why.

    What has been the price for the singles you have been seeing? I'm going to local bottle shop out of desperation that notoriously over prices all special releases.

    4.99 - 5.99 per bottle

    Does a 2 bottle limit change that? Even a 4-pack limit is going to upset some people who feel they need a case. With such little to go around most of these shops are in no win situation when it comes to limits, either they anger those who feel they deserve more or they anger those who can't be to the store within an hour of it hitting the floor.

    This is why I liked what F44 did, they knew the demand was insane, and they knew they would have limited supplies, so they bundled 2 regulars, 1 coffee and 1 barleywine to help everyone get the variety.

    got some barleywine though. Hope to get the coffee at some point
