Backwoods Bastard 2015

Good thing is Specs has it now listed on their site, but only shows available at Bee Cave in Austin. Will start hitting the stores tomorrow. Going to throw one in the fridge tonite to see how many I plan on investing in this year.

 

That was my mistake! I bought one 4pk and thought I might just get one more. BUT - then I had the one bottle and now feel the need to buy a case. I'll just give it to my wife to wrap for Christmas and put it under the tree for me.

 

Yeah had one from last year before I went to bed, wondering why in the hell I still had 6 in my stash from last year. This is by far the best boozy bourbon beer out there

 

well my local store was supposed to get 20 cases and the distributor told them yesterday they were getting 5 instead... so one pack limit for me came in a 14.20 for the pack.

jealous of the people snagging cases of this and the prices out there.

 

2015 BB here in Iowa. Pretty stoked!

 

next week

 

It's going for $17.99-$18.99 here on Long Island. That's about $4 higher than last year!

 

$96/case at Founders...
I found it in NJ for $89/case..

 

IDK but just ordered 7.75 gal keg today. Excited to try it out. Love that we get Founders in CA now. All Day, Centennial, and Breakfast Stout are amazing.

Centennial reminds me a lot of SN but that's a good thing!

 

$15 and change here in CW. Last year it was around $17 so it went down. No limits here either. I only bought one because central waters BBSA is still around and is much cheaper at $13 a pack. Looking forward to trying 2015 backwoods tonight though.

 

Around $15-$16/4-pack here in MN. It's very few and far between, but a drastic price drop as $20 was the cheapest I found last year.

 

Anyone have any luck in SE Michigan (Oakland cty specifically)? Found a shop in Livonia that quoted me a four pack over the phone, but would only sell 2 bottles when I got there. Anyone have better luck?

 

Hadn't realized the abv increased. When I had this the other night it definitely tasted different. Now I know why. Agree with others that it definitely has more barrel taste to it.

 

sorry if it's already been mentioned, but does anybody know if this will make it to CA now?

 

Still nothing yet in NW OH.

 

Picked up my case for about $88 (after tax & deposit) in central NY today. Just tried my 1st bottle. Can't believe how smooth it is right away. WAY less heat than the 2014 version (and weird, considering the higher ABV). I'm not sure if there's MORE barrel influence, but the sweetness/vanilla notes seem more up-front than before (also, perhaps from it being less hot). Easily the most drinkable (and DANGEROUS) Backwoods Bastard that I've had. Complete Home-Run for me. Now, I just have to count the days until the Imperial Stout comes out!

 

$13.99 in Western Virginia. I had one last night and it was fantastic.

 

Central market Westgate in austin had some 4 pks out front for 11.99. Picked up 3. I wonder if there is more going around this year because they usually have a limit.

 

My shop owner guy told me today it will arrive in NW Indiana on Tuesday. After all, it is a "November" release....
The closer you are to Founders, the later you get it, I guess. Didn't Georgia get it two or so weeks ago?!

Whatever

 

Wondering how come my bottles don't have that raised Founders Brewing Co. logo?
