Bourbon County Sightings

It was great, but glad I just got a sample of it. Can't imagine a full glass of it. BCBS still flowing when I left Clybourn at 730. Cheers!

 

What are the charging for bcbs at the source?

 

$10/10 oz snifter. Honestly, I felt like my pours were more than 10oz. Also, I completely second those recommending digestif. It's a rare instance where you have a beer completely unlike any other you've ever had and it's amazing. I don't think I could do more than one in a sitting, but it is absolutely worth seeking out. Truly unique.

 

Digestif burns in an amazing way. Every sip caused me to put the glass down and question whether I could have another....but the overall taste of it kept causing me to say YES.

10oz of BCBS + 10oz of Digestif = Goooooood night!

 

Anyone know when it will make it to Dekalb or Rockford? Ill be there soon.

 

Anyone hear when it is actually being released in the cheese land? Im hearing early as late next week to 2 and a half more weeks.

 

I heard this week for Kenosha area.

 

Vav, I admire you sticking up for your fellow Binny's employees, but you have to admit it the whole thing does seem bizarre -- a mix of a guaranteed list and a raffle, while implying that everyone has an equal chance via a raffle. On top of that, stephenieman is enough of a regular that samie85 knew his phone #, and yet somehow didn't know the raffle that he ostensibly won even existed. Maybe not aliens, just a rigged system is all.

I'm sure there's a good reason you don't allocate rare bottles in such a convoluted fashion at your store.

 

More reasons why raffles inherently suck (for this sort of thing, anyway...).

Also, I had no idea Mr. Tsoukalos had entered meme territory. While I feel it's a bit simplistic toward the Ancient Alien hypothesis, that shit's fuckin' hi-larious (dammit, where's HistoryAdvocate so's we can debate that shit!?). Adam, you've made my day yet again...

 

My point is this: Just because the system didnt work for you this time doesnt mean it's rigged.

The individual in question (Full Disclosure: He's a friend of mine) i know for a fact is a once/twice a week customer at Skokie. It seems that he was rewarded for his loyalty. Seems pretty cut and dry to me.

As for my store, i'll be frank: If i say i'm sold out, there is a pretty good chance there might be something in the back i'm holding for a good customer. Or i stashed cases in the Vintage Program. If i were to do a raffle, i would probably hold a few back for the same reason. There's no conspiracy. It's just business.

Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you.



Now send me a private message and find a time to come in when i'm around to pick up a 4pk of the BCS i had put aside for myself.

 

Just got an email from lp whole foods raffle. Guess I get to eat/drink the bear this time. No homo

 

We actually told people to spread the word. We had a great crowd. Everyone that was there got to enjoy multiple glasses..

 

My brother in law asked me where/when he could find some in the Dexter, MI area. Does anyone know? I saw MI was getting their BCS this week. The Meijer by their house had an awesome beer selection, so I told him to call there.

 

Shocker!!
Capone's is on;y charging $23.99 per Beermenus.com
Must be some sort of catch to it.
La Primera is $29.99

 

Prestige on Cass comes out to $34+ with tax. Needless to say I passed on that

 

Binnys st Charles ~$24/4pk after tax limit 1 4pk

They got in 15 cases.

 

Thanks for posting this. My buddy in Geneva has been looking everywhere for it, and I just gave him a call.

 

Still pouring at Goose Clybourn. I agree with those that have described a black licorice flavor. I also think this is due to some more charred oak flavor. However, I do not think it's hotter than the last two releases (keg only/2011 bottles).

The Digestif is very interesting. If you enjoy pepper brews, this is a must. It reminds me of Conquistador de Muerte Porto.

 

It's worth it if it's true.
