Looking for a beer like BCBS Vanilla Rye

vanilla shake and BA vanilla shake by mikkeller are spot on to the VR. BA vanilla shake is very identical

 

Victory at Sea

 

That marshmallow taste is the signature!

 

4 Hands Madagascar if you can. The beer is phenomenal. I liked it better than Vanilla Rye.

 

By semisweet chocolate chips you mean like big baking chips or like the hershey's kind that go into cookies?

 

She gets it now, but she has expensive taste lol.

 

Either would work, but I use hershey's / cookie kind. Not sure if halving them is necessary, but I figure it can't hurt. I don't mind a few chocolate shavings making it to the glass either!

 

Sorry to thread drift, but curious what kind of prices you see on CW. its $20 a 4pack hear so close to BCBS prices.

 

Not sure I can't get it in PA - It's $13.99 in Wisconsin.

 

$12.99 or so in MN. Up to maybe $15.99?

BCBS was $6-9/bottle here in limited quantities.

 

I think it's sold for around $14 at/around the brewery.

 

all of the beers being listed sound amazing, and exactly what i love, but from what I am seeing is none of them are readily available / easily obtainable

for someone new to a lot of these rarer beers, super hard to tell what an average price for some of these are.

 

Ten Fidy is available everywhere and would make a fine base for adding adjuncts. Or if you're in Michigan how about grabbing KBS or something and going from there?

 

Victory at Sea and Vanilla Framinghammer are relatively easy to get. Vanilla Framinghammer is my wifes favorite, so I have traded for it several times. Last time I posted an ISO I got like 7 responses in an hour and basically did $4$ with stuff from around here.

 

Bourbon Vanilla Dark Lord should be easy to get, I can grab a few down at the corner 7-11 any time I want.

 

i am going to try and get KBS, just depends if i can make that happen or not.

 

Ahem...

I believe Trader Joe's still stocks this.

 

Wat? BT and BA vanilla shake tastes absolutely nothing like bourbud country

 

UH, YEA THEY DU

 

4 Hands Madagascar is suppose to be better, but is trading quite high lately... was much easier to get before word got out apparently. But I'll second a lot of other responses in that letting a sliced vanilla bean sit in your regular bcbs for a bit will get you there, or the even easier method of just adding some vanilla extract to a regular as well. Seems to cheap and easy, but it honestly is very damn close to Vanilla Rye. (and it's nice that you can control how much vanilla flavor you want)
