How much Bourbon County will you buy this fall?

I'll go for the usual couple bottles if I can find them

 

Don't like BBA stouts, so none.

Admittedly though I am bias against AB-Inbev, so any chance I may have overlooked that in general I don't like the style is totally wiped out.

 

I don't like BBA stouts but I plan on buying as much as I can to trade, it's always nice to have family members willing to mule as well.

 

I bought a 4 pack last year....I'll probably try to do the same this year. I like it, but I'm not like some people I know who go to store after store stockpiling cases of the stuff. It's too expensive to do more than a few bottles as a treat.

 

I agree with you 100% here.

Cheers!

 

As much as I can get my hands on. As usual.

 

Probably none, not because don't want any, but because I'll probably be too hungover after Thanksgiving to get up and get in line.

 

I only got three of the 2015, regular BCBS, no variants. There were only a couple of people in the bottle shop early on release day, so I picked up the limit of two. I found another one in a grocery store. The liquor guy said that someone ordred three, but only wanted two. They were "stuck" with one, which I gladly took off their hands. I have tried one, which was outstanding. If I can get three this year, I'll be satisfied. I hope we get at least some of the variants this year. but I won't lose any sleep over it if we don't.

 

I put more than what I bought last year since I didn't buy any last year

I'm really hoping to come out with two bottles of the regular stout, and one bottle of the coffee. I'd age one of the stouts, and consume the other two fresh-ish.

 

I'll buy as much as I did in 2015: none.

 

After all 20 bottles of my 2015 being infected, definitely less. Will try for a bottle of each variant and then maybe just 6-8 regulars. Have discovered so many other great BA stout that are much easier to get since last year.

 

Same as some others that have commented. If I see it, I'll pick up a bottle or two. If not, I'll pick up a different tasty stout, like I did last year.

 

I am going to buy at least 73 bottles of each type. No more, no less.

 

None. I am not a stand in line kind of person to begin with and have never bought Bourbon County. So even before the AB takeover and the unrelated infections, I wasn't chasing these beers anyway. AB/InBev just provides the icing.

That said, hypocrite that I confess to be, I was given a bottle of BCBS last year and I drank it instead of smashing it and crying to the heavens about the evils of corporate beer... In theory, it was outside the range of the possible alleged infection, but it was starting to sour when my colleague and I drank them and we agreed on the taste starting to turn. It wasn't an OMG spit it out you'll die thing (yet), but it was nowhere near anything amazing either. More like "WTF? People rave about this stuff...oh wait what's that weird sour note creeping in".

So if lines, Black Friday lunacy, and AB/InBev aren't enough motivation to continue not buying BC, there are lots of stouts (and other beers) I can buy for less money where I've yet to be disappointed. Bonus - I don't have to chase them across three states, hire a mule, or sacrifice a chicken to receive my "allotment". Some of them are even local and independent

 

None, but I didn't buy any last year, though I did stand in line as my go-to beer store was releasing a bunch of rarities with it that I wanted to grab.
I had it way before all the hype and AB buyout years ago; I remember liking it but not loving it. Assuming the core recipe hasn't changed (?) I see no reason to seek it out, especially being part of AB-InBev. Plus, it's not like barrel aged stouts are hard to come by.

 

There was so much in my area last year that I bought about a case over the course of a few days and could easily have gotten 2x as much. I have a couple set aside, passed some on to a friend, traded a couple etc. I'd buy about the same amount but I"m not expecting to find it as easily this go round so will probably end up with less. Fortunately, only 2 of the say 14 I bought were bad dates getting refunded.

 

I haven't even found Prop from this year! Will buy up to 8 regular and a bottle or two of whatever else shows up.

 

"At least" means likely more, but I'm guessing you knew that

 

I'll likely get one or two bottles of the standard (and the variants if they show up the same time I do), simply because I've got a BCBS vertical that I'd like to continue.

 

I'm looking forward to getting a bunch. I will be one of the folks in line, and my plan is to get multiples of all the variants and a bunch of regular.
