    Just had a BB#3 with lunch at HomeField Grill. I never got to try BB1 for comparison, but this was delish. Also, the Kona Beach sandwich was awesome!

    Time for another giveaway featuring Saint Arnolds Bishop's Barrel #1.

    Rules:
    - If you missed out on Bishop's Barrel #1, send me a BM. This is on the honor system as there's no way for me to know, unless you made an earlier post on this thread about trying it.
    - First 10 Texas-located BA's to message me, will receive a # between 1-10. Later tonight, I will fire up the random number generator, and then I'll post a picture of the winning #. I will message the winner only this time.
    (Sorry other Southwest people. I'll do another giveaway in the future and make it regional)
    - I will determine the best delivery method at my own discretion. I'll attempt to deliver the BB#1 in person, but I may need to use alternate methods of delivery depending where you're located. In that case, I will need a physical address.
    - If you won the previous giveaway (the Founder's KBS), you cannot participate in this one. If you participated, but didn't win, you're free to enter this giveaway
    - By entering, you agree to the rules. If you win and don't respond within 48 hours, I will draw again.

    Cheers and good luck!

    I witness the last 2 bottles of BB3 being sold in front of my face when I went to try to pick up 2. I got 1, just got 2 this week, and struck out on 3 a couple of days ago.

    Anybody that's had BB1, how does BB3 compare?

    Much more creamy and balanced. Smooth and without the hot bourbon. I think BB3's more ready to enjoy now than the BB1 was upon release.

    I haven't had it! I do have a bottle, though, and I would have totally misses that if not for Chris. I guess I'm in the minority :slight_smile:.

    Yeah I meant to include in that, if you have a bottle or know you'll be getting a bottle in a trade, that disqualifies you. I want to get these beers into the hands of people who haven't tried them, and have little to no chance of ever getting any.

    Very cool of you to do this again. I was able to try a bottle but never got one to take home.

    Thanks. I didn't either up until now. Hah. Let's just say people at Ananke day were crazy generous. I won't forget to return the favor if I see them again, or I'll pay it forward.

    Only got 6 entries so far people! 4 more spots open to get in on this. If I don't get to 10 BM's by 8PM tonight, I'll end things early and draw from however many entered.
