BCBS once again coming to CA!

Well, I hope this is good news. I hope the quality is still there, considering all of the changes. I am glad to have a shot at BCBS from a local shop.

 

I have had a few bottles of '12 and trust me its amazing fresh right now! I said when I heard InBev was buying GI out "I don't care as long as bcbs is still as good". And it is, so far.

 

I'm a little surprised and bummed to hear this. While Bevmo is a pain, they typically get big allocations of limited releases at fair prices. I can always get what I want by making a few phone calls.

I figured since they used to sell BCBS and currently carry a ton of InBev products, they would definitely be getting this years BCBS. Did you get your info from a reliable source at Bevmo?

 

maybe it's a regional thing or i'm just not keen... but in my best Beastie Boys voice impersonations... HOLD IT NOW!!

YO LEROY!! what limited releases does BevMo regularly stock that are "hostage" caliber??

 

why? if people are paying $30 for bombers of eclipse, why wouldn't someone be willing to pay $15 for a 12oz bottle of bcbs for this year's until it becomes a year-round at $22 / 4 pack?

 

Firestone Walker ones. That's all I can think of.

 

Hermitage and Coastal Fog.

 

Which bottle shops in San Diego qualify as the dick shops?

 

Royal Liquor in Encinitas is the closest ****** I can get.

 

Oh, come on - that is weak. You are anonymous here; name names!

I've seen Beverages 4 Less singled out many times in the past, so I'd guess they would be on your list. I've also seen some criticism of Mesa Liquor and Wine. Any others?

 

no. i made it up. you'd think they would get some as the buy a ton of goose island. we'll see.

 

I don't see what the comparison you're making is, other than that they're both desirable imperial stouts.

 

Haha, okay thanks for coming clean . Fingers crossed until we actually see it on the shelves.

 

people are willing to pay $1.36 / oz for a desirable imperial stout. bcbs at $0.46 is a great deal, but it is demonstrably underpriced for the supply. therefore, in a time when supply is low and demand is high, what is wrong with someone paying $1.36 / oz for bcbs, which would come out to $16+ for a 12-oz bottle?

in simple terms, i'm saying that anyone who buys $30 bottles of imperial stout and feels that bcbs ≥ said imperial stout, but will laugh at people paying $6+ for bcbs, is an idiot.

 

Am I supposedly this idiot, or are your posts also directed at someone else's comments that I am unaware of? Because I've never claimed BCBS > Eclipse, and the only bottle of Eclipse I've ever purchased was for a trade.

There's also a whole lot more BCBS than Eclipse (obviously there's more demand too, but the point remains), and will be far more of it in the near future. I haven't read about any plans to make Eclipse a year-round offering.

 

So this should be getting here soon....right?
