    I know it's probably a bit ridiculous to ask this question about this beer, but is it still possible to find it after a few months of release? Of course, I'm not talking about the coffee, barleywine variants, just the original Bourbon County Brand Stout.

    I just saw 4 bottles of BCBS sitting on a shelf in Yonkers. Mixed in with the other beers, no fanfare or anything

    You don't want those two anyhow. 2015 batches are "infected" (soured).

    It is still around, and based on what I read in a recent forum, some is still being delivered.

    Yes, just saw a few bottles pop up at a local shop. First time I've seen it in a few months though.

    Seems like it's still available in a lot of places. I'll have to check out a few liquor stores to see if they have some.

    Anyone from Las Vegas seen any?

    I haven't seen any bottles since early January in KY, but saw it on tap a few weeks ago.

    I haven't seen it anywhere for a while. I know some places have kept a bottle or two in the back, but all the shops I know in the Bay Area were cleaned out ages ago

    Regular is everywhere here. One of my haunts still had about a half case or so of Rye the last time I was in there a couple weeks ago.

    I'm amazed by these reports. I don't think I've seen BCBS available form more than about a week after Thanksgiving. I've never seen it on the shelves. Where it's available at all, you have to ask for it.

    I work for an AB distributor and we are holding back cases for special occasions and accounts. I've asked my sales manager about this and he will not give me a clear answer, he just laughs.

    I know last year we held 2014 and sent some out about six months after initial release to one account and then we released more 2014 about one month prior to 2015 being released.
