    I'm glad they didn't do a sneak release. I won't be home until Friday so this works out well for me.

    Ya swung by and picked up a few BB2 from Petrol yesterday and they mentioned they already have a case of BB3 in the back. Tried to talk him into sneaking me a few.... Didn't work :-(

    I actually had a BB3 last night. If memory serves from BB1, this one is a tad darker, seemed slightly thicker, but still on the thin side. Still a bit too sweet for my liking. And i like a little burn in my barrel aged beers. Especially when it is this fresh. But i got nothing here.

    I guess I need to open another BB1 to make a better comparison.

    That is a tough one. Hay Merchant in Houston sold them for $6. I know that is pretty much cost, so they basically are making nothing. $12-13 is about double, so on par, maybe even less than most bars mark up for other bottles. I have seen them for as much as $15. At a bar, I understand the mark up, if this was at a store, no way.

    $6-10 is what I have seen the most.

    Cost is actually around $3.75.

    Don't think Hay Merchant are saints. :wink:

    Petrol's first batch went for $8, but last week was selling for $6.

    Still haven't seen BB2 around this way. I may just have to give up on that one.
