    I heard shipments are rolling in. Red Wagon got some in yesterday and I believe that Champagne's got their shipment in this morning. Just an FYI.....

    Decided not to go to Champane's for my weekly Wednesday lunch trip today. Big mistake.

    Where does this hit in the SW side of Michigan? I had batch #13 when I was out in California and it was amazing. Would LOVE to pick some of this stuff up. Any info would be appreciated.

    Saw Drakes and/or Tiffany's in KZoo post about it on FB yesterday.

    Drake sold out yesterday afternoon. I didn't see Tiffany's say anything about it, but they're probably just hoarding it in their basement for themselves and/or the owner's restaurants like they do with some other limited releases that they get.

    I was following those stores on FB solely to see about BCBS releases. However, I noticed Tiffany's is pretty gougey as far as pricing goes. Not a fan of that at all.

    I stopped following Tiffany's on facebook and shopping there after the last time they told me they'd hold two bottles of something for me only for the owner to tell me to my face when I got there that they only held one for me because he needed more bottles for his restaurants.

    Expensive, yes, but ooooh so good, lol. Such an underrated beer IMO.

    Yea Drake's had none when I went there at 1pm today.

    I only follow Tiffany's on FB because they sometimes get things that I can't find anywhere else. They had ST Warlock a full 3 weeks before I saw it anywhere else in Kzoo

    #17 is heavy coffee...I would think that maybe after a little time in the cellar the flavors would balance out just right.

    This may be the one BA beer that sits on shelf's in Grand Rapids... and I hope it stays that way. I 100% agree that the coffee is heavy on batch 17. Cant wait to see how this beer does with a few months on it.
