Black Friday In Texas

That's nuttier than squirrel shit. That's Beatification level tomfoolery...

 

Does the specs in Austin get any bcbs at all?

 

Last year, yes

 

Which specs? And four packs or singles?

 

4 packs, the one by Mopac and 71 (was visiting Austin, don't know what the 'name' for that one is)

 

Every Specs I know of in Austin got some.

 

Austin: So if you want to buy a single 2014 BCBS for about $10, here's your event.

 

i've heard some interesting grumblings of an across the board price increase this year on 4 packs. anyone else hearing this or can confirm expected pricing?

 

Yep. Binny's in Chicago is charging $26.99 per 4-pack. Same price for the 22oz Vanilla Rye.

neato. it looks like specs hasn't updated their pricing yet, but will be interesting to see if it carries over to here. there's a TON of pricing variation across the country. ie, $16.99-$24/4 packs last year.

 

I doubt it will be $27 in TX. Those Chicago stores jack up their prices on everything. BA Narwhal was $20+ there and I believe the one I bought at the Plano Whole Foods was $14.

 

Eh! That's way cheap on the Narwhal. I bought one for $20 and another for $24. I think $20 was the average price across the board.

 

Watch out for the Quickie Pickie event. Their signage says "on draft".

The Prairie event I went to last week had similar signage but wound up with Brimstone Bomb on draft but a 12 pack of Pirate for sale (1 per). It sold out in literally 20 seconds though.

 

ill be in line in Dallas with my Mule (Dad). Gonna try to get there 7:30-8 and hopefully it wont be to many people in line so I can get me some Vanilla Rye..

 

Last year JK had special earlier hours on Black Friday. It's possible they could again this year.

 

You'll be fine. It'll be a cool day and people are gonna be sane about it I'd imagine. I know a year is along time and things change, but it was pretty regular around dallas last year, and I just don't know if people can afford dropping that much money on beer in a single day. I mean this isn't Resolute.

 

you underestimate people

 

I saw some jackass on a beer group try to bribe the owner of Lonestar saying he would pay him $150 plus the cost of the beer so he could buy 6 BA Bomb! bottles. I wouldn't get too comfortable.

 

That's so Dallas

 

Imagine what he'd pay for BCVR

ya think so? I know I'll be there early too, but ya'll think it's gonna be a shit show?

I guess a year does make a difference.
