Bourbon County Sightings

wrigley still has a few glasses left, 10$/snifter, not sure how many oz's, just made a phone call

 

Brixie's in Brookfield, IL is going to be tapping some Friday night at 6.

 

Drinking a KBS at Durty Nellies today, when it kicked I asked the bartender what was going on next. He responded that in the within the next week or so they will tap a keg of BCBS!

 

Anywhere in the city tapping it today by chance?

 

three aces might be, depends if they run out of BCBVS. also brixie's is tapping it at 6pm.

 

I called Three Aces yesterday yesterday evening around 7 and the hostess said there was a problem with their taps and beer was only being served out of bottles. Hopefully they get that resolved forthwith.

 

Anywhere on the northside?

 

Still looking for BCS in MKE, myself. When I see it, I'll be one of the ones to let the world know.

 

I don't really think it's a problem to leave a keg like that sitting around, if it's been pumped with CO2 sitting around in the fridge for who knows how long. Months, maybe a year? As long as the seal is good, shouldn't be any oxygen exposure and the beer should be good to go.

 

derp derp derp

 

Being tapped at 8 tonight at Bigby's in Addison.

 

Now that it's finally kicked I can safely say I'm surprised bcs vanilla lasted 3-5 days at 3 aces at $9/10oz

 

actually 6 days.

 

oh how i wish i knew that. so close to it too.

 

I was there last night and they had galactic double daisy cutter which was great. Too bad they didn't have the bcbs last night, maybe i'll try and make it back there tomorrow.

 

i just popped a bomber open now. from my fridge since release.

 

I wish it had been 10oz for that price. I went last night, it was $9 for a 5oz snifter. Expensive sure, but I'd have paid $5 just to smell a freshly emptied glass.

The bartender said they'd be tapping BCBS as soon as the Vanilla was gone. I sure hope that's true. If anyone wants to meet up there for an overpriced snifter of liquid gold let me know.

 

When I Thursday last week I had a few glasses of vanilla and it was delicious and full of vanilla flavor.
Now maybe I'm crazy or just prone to the power of suggestion, but when I brought a few friends on Saturday evening, and was told that all they had now was regular bcbs and vanilla had kicked. We ordered a couple glasses and believed it was not vanilla and I tasted no vanilla. However you guys are saying it was still tapped yesterday? Well I guess let us know if regular bcbs taps so I'll know the the bartender don't know her own taps, and I'm an idiot

 

I stopped in there Friday around 5 and it was definitely still vanilla. When I asked the bartender if regular bourbon county was up next he said he wasn't sure. It also listed Scarlett as coming up and he didn't know anything about that either.

 

It was definitely Vanilla when we went Saturday night. They said 1/2 the keg was remaining. Manager offered to put on BCBS instead of Hop Juice when another tap ran out, but they were just planning on replacing Vanilla when it kicked w/ regular.
