    I'm not sure, I don't think so. This might be my best bet. Thank you!

    LONESTAR BEVERAGES As of right now we don't know quantities or if we are getting anything. Last year was the same unfortunately. We did however get some for last black Friday, so I assume the same. Stay tuned for more info. When we know, I'll post it on the page!... Rick

    I am also in need of a Houston lead on BCBS and would be greatful for any help.

    I was visiting family in the hill country for the holidays and the HEBs I visited had not entered this century in terms of craft beer selection.

    As per Brown, "unfortunately we received very little BCS coffee, still waiting to hear if we are getting any more."

    Put me down for the BCBS pity party too. I was unable to go hunt beer that day. I work near I-45 & Beltway 8 on the north side and live in Pearland. If anyone has any leads, I'd greatly appreciate it. Not many on here know me but I'm not a hoarder.

    Sigh, I couldn't go hunting either this year. I would definitely like to pick some up, I'm on the NW side of Houston(8 & 290); any leads would be greatly appreciated.

    If anyone is looking in Austin for BCBS. There is about a case at HEB at 79/AW Grimes. Also a case at the HEB Cedar Park on Lakeline. Specs Brodie still has about 12 4-packs and Specs South Park has some 4 packs left too.

    Many of the HEB's just put it out yesterday or today. Some still have it in the back.

    Ha. No, my nerves do not get struck by the beer drinkers. You can tell yourself you did, though, if it makes you feel good.

    If you are trading quality beer for quality beer, 2010 VBCBS is as quality as just about anything I've ever had. If you didn't get any of it, you do not know. And that is fine. If you did and didn't think it was as good as many other beers, that is also fine. I liked it enough that if 2014 is similar, I'd trade almost any quality beer for it.

    Your logic of "X beer isn't that rare so it can't be traded for Y beer" is a bunch of nonsense. You can rate them differently, sure. But if your super rare bottle of whatever beer turns out to taste like ass, who cares how rare it is? The larger point here is that if you're trading for rarity, and not the taste of the beer, I think you're doing it wrong and I liked it better when this wasn't as prevalent.

    I just randomly randomly ran across a Vanilla bomber... Thought they would be long gone by now in Dfw, but Sigels had a empty case of Vanilla on the floor, so I took the time to ask...guy said it was the last one, but who knows?

    I was talking about 2014 Vanilla Rye...

    I buy beers that I want and I don't buy stuff as 'trade bait.' By your quality beer for quality beer logic I should offer somebody a quantity of 60 minute for a Vanilla Rye... The fact of the matter is if you want a whale you have to trade a whale and I personally don't view Vanilla Rye as a whale. I only do $4$ with people I've established relationships with and even then with one of my trading partners we've stopped tracking the dollar amounts close because we each fill the box with awesome beers.

    If you're in Houston...

    Kroger on Studemont has BCBS, coffee and barleywine.

    HEB Montrose has BCBS with a 2 bottle limit.

    You may or may not need the beer/wine steward to pick up at both locations.
