Bourbon County thread (NJ PA NY)

It's on per person right?

 

I really don't understand the complaining on this thread. Who cares if other people don't mind waiting in line? Move along.

 

Yeah, per person. Tried Liquor Locker next door and ironically they didn't get a shipment in.

 

Pretty much. I could understand if the people criticizing those who waited in line had no interest in the beer, but it seems like most people here want their piece of the pie. The argument seems to boil down to "I want the beer, but those guys want it TOO much. You should want the beer just as much or less than I do or at least put the same amount of effort into obtaining it that I do."

It's a limited release that's in high demand. People are gonna do what they feel is necessary to make sure they get their bottles and there's no changing that. Wanna guarantee that you get the beer? Wait in line like the others who really want the beer.

IN B4 "But it shouldn't have to come to this!". Well...it has. The sooner we all start accepting reality, the sooner we can move on with our lives.

 

Waited in line for BCBS at The Fridge, but they ran out. I did get it on tap though. I also had KBS on tap along side the BCBS. I honestly enjoyed the KBS a lot more than the BCBS.


Kinda annoyed I didn't get a couple of bottles, but I could have showed up earlier if it was that important to me. Oh well. Next year!



Most of the complaining I see is from people that didn't want to wait in line to get the beer. You KNOW it's going to sell fast. You KNOW waiting it line is almost always necessary. If you chose not to do that, too bad. You could have been in line early this morning if it was that important to you. The demand is high, and it has been for years. This shouldn't surprise anyone.

 

Any word on LI getting shipments and how much of each?

 

If everyone here actually thinks all of these people are waiting in line for 5+ hours to get the beer for the sole purpose of them drinking it, you're all fucking nuts. Do I want to drink rare? Sure. But I'm not waking up at the crack of dawn to fight mules and resellers and line cutters and all the other bullshit that the "beer game" has turned into

 

Picked up 2 regular bottles (1 pp) about an hour ago at cable beverage in rock land county. Looked to have about 4 cases left, and said more variants might come in next week.

 

Top Hops still has about 14 cases of BW

 

Got my single bottle of BCBS. Went to Wegmans in Warrington, PA where they had 5 cases of BCBS. They were supposed to have variants, including RARE, but had none.

I felt bad for those, some of whom were there at 2am, who didn't get RARE and walked away with a single bottle like I did.

 

Either a ton of BW got sent to NYC or they just made way more BW than coffee, but I've seen places get 10 cases of BW and 1 case of coffee.

 

I'm pretty sure it's definitely the latter. That, coupled with far less demand than BW. Last year, I picked up a bottle of BW in probably April or May at Carmine Street Beer.

 

BW is the bastard stepchild of the variants. Some places in BK had 4pks of the 14 about a few months ago.

 

You won't get any hate from me. This release tends to bring out the worst in people, and the behavior I witness on the part of consumers, retailers, distributors, and the producers themselves can be pretty antithetical to the things I love most about craft beer.

 

Anyone know where I can pick up Coffee between Brooklyn and Manhattan?

 

Easily solved, just fucking make it year round GI

 

I've overbought the last two years, still have over half a case sitting around. If anyone is looking to do a vert, I have 13 and 14 in spades.

 

Same here. Still have a case between the 2.

 

Any word on south jersey/cherry hill?

 

Picked up a case in Syracuse Area. $10 per bottle, only 6 people there at 8 am when it went on sale. The folks at the store had people sign in prior with the amount wanted.
