BCBS 2016 Events in NYC

RnH east had 16 Coffee and 2013-2016 regular on draft as of an hr ago. also rare 15 bottle pours

 

Any coffee on tap?

 

Damn, I was there at 2p and they had nothing out. Any word if they got anything else?

 

nothing else. plenty of both left though.

 

And...nothing at Windy City.

 

Not sure how many of you decided to try Top Hops, but I was astounded. I didn't line up, I just went for the taplist that went on at Noon and they still had lots of Regal and Rare with a 2 p/p limit. It lasted until 4 or 5pm I would say.

Were people just unexcited this year with the lack of variant or was this in protest of what happened last year? Combination of both? Still trying to figure that out.

 

Stood in line at Top Hops for a few releases, one that comes to mind was Vanilla Rye. Ownership going to AB, last years horribly embarrassing QC measures, the utter lack of creativity or imagination when it comes to variants. Selling out and losing your reputation in rapid succession are bad for your health.

 

I really don't disagree. But at the same time, I think both Regal and Rare are tremendous beers.

 

Oh yeah, and they went from $23-25 dollars for 48oz to $15 for 16oz. If none of that matters to someone then I'd say this year Christmas came early for you.

 

Is WF Bowery the best bet for BCBS+ variants this year? Or is it really anybody's guess? Coming up to NYC for the Cuse game and looking to snag some if I can

 

How much were they charging for the Rare?

 

$85.

 

For real? No bottles or taps?

 

No bottles at WF Bowery yet...

 

anybody try WF on 86th? I called and was told to try back at 12, but feel it will be a classic case of calling at 12 and being told they are sold out.

 

exactly....just no bottles? I can't imagine them not getting drafts

 

WF on 57th seems to have only regular and BW

 

Nothing, no draft, at least not as of midnight last night.

 

Just got back from WF CC. They started selling at 8am and were instantly out of rare & coffee. They have regal ($22) & bw ($12) left at 1pp & unlimited reg ($10).

 

That is a little shocking.
