Goose Island Amps Up Bourbon County Brands For Black Friday Release

Yeah I was misinformed, have heard a couple places that got tiny amounts of BW. Still bummed though

 

Let me know when FBS or KBS taste nearly as good as BCBS and we'll talk.

 

I'm amazed at how many ISO threads are all about bcbs. Sure it's good and yes I usually get some but holy cow.

 

Keep in mind how hard it is to get in some places. It's 100x easier for me to trade for it than it is to try to buy any.

 

I could cut one of my accounts right now. Sent the dipshit a case of bcbs, coffee and one barley wine and he refused the case of coffee what the fack. The to top it off he puts thenshit for sale today and already confirmed 2 reg and 1 bw were bought. I'm praying as it's a low key account and I pulled strings to get him the beer for selfish reasons there will be the rest left when he opens at 7am

 

I completely understand your point of view regarding AB, as it's not uncommon on here (minus the people that despise AB yet are going ape shit to get vanilla rye or prop). What are your thoughts/opinion on large national craft breweries that I dare say practice the same business tactics in the field? Things such as providing free glassware or "discounted" barrels eg:coming in and buying beers on the company card and with on premise mark up can cover over half the keg cost easily? Distributor houses on both sides (AB/mc) obviously try to push out the competitors craft offerings for their own that they distro, not a blue moon/shock top but all private owned AB houses have wiggle room for distributing craft breweries. Just have sat through many of sales meetings with brewery reps from tons of various breweries and they sound no different than a BMC employee giving a presentation.

 

Yeah I know, just crazy imo. Not easy around me unless you know where to go and some places either put it out early or hold them back. Really pisses me off.

 

Yeah, it sucks. I've got almost no hope of getting any locally and if I do the prices will be insane. I just chose the route of gathering trade bait and waiting to get some that way. It's served me well so far.

 

Anybody know where in the PHX area might be getting variants? I know Whole Foods Chandler but I'll be at work at the start, hoping someone closer to the NW Valley will have some a bit later.

 

check out us_liquor on instagram. They have some bcbs and bcbw available on Friday.

 

Looking forward to Bourbon County Chasin' tomorrow. Three local shops have it (only one has Coffee and BW) and they all have different opening times (10am, 11am, 12pm). Time hit and run all over town!

 

Makes me wonder where's the majority of the other variants have gone? Perhaps most of them went to InBevs preferred customers as in the fat cats' family and friends?

 

Got an email from bevmo saying they'll get it.

 

The couple of other places I called in the area said they got shorted too. But I agree with you, the beer club is sucking all the good beer up and leaving garbage for the people who don't want to pay the fee. I'm heading to Indy instead of Northern KY because I just don't wanna deal with party source anymore for this reason.

 

I'll be on the hunt myself tomorrow, but I picked up this handsome gent today to keep me occupied in the meanwhile.

 

Once they feel that pinch they will figure it out!!!!

 

That's probably still more than the ENTIRE state of NH got. To hell with these $8 single-bottle sales.

 

I swear I didn't see or try any new ones yet! No way Josey W(h)ales.

 

Any word on when Boise might get some?

 

My sources at Binnys said Vanilla bombers and four-packs of everything else will most likely come out to $30 after tax. Either they are charging Prop prices for Vanilla or Prop is going to be even more expensive.

Nope. Can't convince friends to camp out in the cold with those prices. Think I will just stick with a four-pack of BCBB this year.

Just to put some perspective here: when GI made Bourbon County Vanilla in 2010, Binnys sold bombers for around $12.99 a pop. Sorry Goose, but COL for brewers hasn't more than doubled in four years.
