Goose Island in Denver

September 1st is what they said, it will probably just be their yearly offerings, until the next seasonal drops.

I heard it could not be until October and don't get excited about rareties, this is InABusch we are talking about. I'm guessing $8.99 - $9.99 on pricing but it probably will be dictated by Bulk deal Levels, discounting, and distributer.

 

I'll still grab a 6'er of Honker's Ale from time to time (we don't have an exact equivalent) but I doubt I'll be getting any other of their packs.

 

amen to that. Still haven't seen Spaten from them. Maybe they don't like Germans

 

I was told by there barrel manager at the Euclid hall tasting that we could see BCBS as early as this fall but definitely next fall. He also said that our market will get any and all seasonals including Juliet, Madame Rose, and Lolita.

 

Pepe, Matilda, etc...are already available. Speak to your go-to beer guy. BCBS, as already noted, not yet.

 

No, the BCBS and Vintage series 3-sisters sours (they take longer) run in the $15-$17 range from other in the midwest have said.

 

I paid $20 for Juliet (22oz) in Chicago, and BCBS is usually around $20/4-pack of 12oz

 

That's what I'm told, yet there's been nothing regular about their presence on the shelves, or maybe I just haven't looked hard enough, which is very likely. Either way...bottoms up to BCBS eventually being available in CO.

 

I see Sofie, Pere Jacques and Pepe Nero all the time, Matilda a bit more sporadically

 

Wow...I'd happily pay $20 for a 4-pack. Bombers used to be $12-15 and it's much easier to put away a bottle or two of a 4-pack than to hang onto a single bomber.

 

Obviously it's me. Honestly my focus is on other beer, but I would never say no to BCBS. It came up in conversation when doing a monthly beer pickup from a buddy.

 

Argonoaut always had one of those on hand.

 

Yeah Argonaut has had cases of Sofie and Pepe stacked up in the aisle for a few months now

 

I thought Juliet was better than Lolita, but both are excellent. Haven't had Madame Rose

 

That's the order I put them in, too...Juliet>Lolita>Madame Rose.

 

As long as I can get BCS, whether it's here or back in my old stomping grounds, I'll be a happy camper!
