The WAY too early 2016 BCBS Variant Speculation Thread

Peanut Butter

 

Who is they? GI? Did they bottle it? Must be a super whale.

 

Aged in root beer barrels on root beer barrel candy.

 

I love how "good" this is always going to be---

until it isn't.

 

Bourbon County Brand Black Gose
Bourbon County Brand Wild Barleywine
Bourbon County Brand Coffee Sour

 

I saw a good amount of barrels labeled maple at the GI barrel house on Rare day.

 

I'd like to see a lime variant...possibly a BCBS-a-rita.

 

How about a beechwood aged pumpkin peach ale?

 

I hope it is NOT maple...

 

Smart money is on one elf blood variant, and another with great white shark fins. Gotta blow that secondary market right through the roof.

 

I heard GI found 47 year-old bourbon barrels really deeply buried in their barrel room and are aging BCBS in it. It will be called Rarest of the Rare and MSRP is $139.99.

 

Screw 2016, I wanna know about 2017

 

Prop 2015 was maple and a failure (objectively to sweet), I can not imagine they double down on maple in 2016.

I will put money on barleywine going into those Rare15 barrels (expensive af) and another berry variant.

If I was in charge of GI:
First I'd switch back to 12/22oz bottles (never going to happen, but a man can dream)
2016 Prop: super sweet maple variant (fuck yall FIBs) ($30/bomber)
Berry Variant: Chocolate+Raspberry ($20/bomber)
Wild Card: Nationally distributed Coconut (Prop13 clone) ($20/bomber)
Rare Barleywine: Unpasteurized and aged in Rare15 barrels ($60/bomber)
BCBBW: Pasteurized and aged in BCBS15 barrels ($30/4pack)
BCBCS: Pasteurized ($30/4pack)
BCBS: Same as last year but ~10% increase in production ($25/4pack)

 

BCBCS, Bourbon County Brand Chelada Stout!

King henry didn't cost close to the same amount 2010 Rare did. So I highly highly doubt it will be $60
