    So based on the pattern from Hay Merchant...

    BB1 - 3 Bottles
    BB2 - 2 Bottles
    BB3 - 1 Bottle

    ... it looks like BB4 won't exist... lol

    I like how folks are raising hell to the assholes charging $12 - 16 bottle for something that runs $3 wholesale. I just wish folks would have done this for the first 2 BB's - Shouldn't have waited till the 3rd one to speak up.

    Anybody cracked one open yet? I was thinking of stopping at Stag's Head to try a cold one then go to Hay Merchant.

    The descriptions on the St Arnold site are word for word, exactly the same between BB1 and BB3, with the exception of the 1 sentence about the yeast.

    A few folks on Twitter were calling these places out during/after the BB2 release, too. Leon's classy response today was the first time anyone bit. And they still haven't addressed what they plan to charge for BB3.

    And to be fair to Leon's, they just posted this:

    @SaintArnold#BB3 is here. $9.75 no other purchase necessary. As always we have Happy Hour 7 days a week 2-7pm

    I called out BRC for BB2 in person, though I don't use twitter or facebook. So I guess it did not happen.:wink:

    Well they do have ballast point in this afternoon so he probably did not want the two crowds slamming him. He does have a small place...

    Already a healthy line at Hay Merchant it seems (according to a twitter pic). 1 bottle limit and people are still lining up an hour before they even open. People are crazy for beer.

    FWIW, BRC responded to the comments on Twitter today too -- said they don't know what they'll charge for BB3 but they "definitely listen to everyone. Taking into consideration".
