Bourbon County 2017

Don't you even zero-scape, bro?

 

Because Blackberries alone are disgusting?

 

JP liquors in Naperville has BCBS as well as variants (no Reserve or Prop). His prices are a little whack but not unheard of. $40 Northwoods seemed to have about 2-3 cases. I am not endorsing the prices just giving a heads up if anyone is desperate.

Edit: he had coffee and barley wine but I didn't bother with pricing.

 

If they’re gonna do that for people, they should have them pay over the phone and have it bagged up already so it isn’t for us nobodies to see.

Or, they could just not do that kind of stuff.

 

For our Joliet friends, they're working on their keg of coffee currently. Still 12 oz. Still $7. Still in a Mason jar.

 

Maybe I’ll grab some tomorrow.

 

I work down the street but I'm out of the office this week. Glad to see they haven't tapped Reserve or Northwoods yet.

 

Continuing the trend of completely off the wall bars that got Reserve kegs in Bloomington-Normal...

Maggie Mileys (an irish pub that moves a lot of Guinness) and 8 Bit Arcade Bar (which has been open for < 6 months).

Weird distro down here...

 

Dude. I don't think CU has even seen regular on tap yet. Maybe they're confusing you for KY

 

Thats way too long. A full bean and a half of a bean overnight was way too much vanilla. Like drinking vanilla extract. A full bean for a few hours seems to be just right. Pop a half of a bean in it the morning before work and when you get home it seems to be just right.

 

WTF. I mean good for BLNO. Love the town but seriously. WTF.

 

Instead of Black Friday, Goose should have opted to release BCBS today. I would have passed- not worth waiting in line at negative whatever we are at.

 

Oh, sorry to upset you poverty boy. I didn’t think anyone was spying on me.

But seriously... if anyone has $60 burning a hole in their pocket the Shitty little bodega on armitage and Oakley(ish) has northwoods.

When I asked the the shopkeeper if that was priced correctly he said “oh yaaaaa very rare very rare you can’t find....” to which I couldn’t help but start laughing and walked out as he muttered “yea I know” quietly and sadly.

 

$30 cash on the counter and no need for a receipt and it would be yours!

 

They used banana essence. Not sure if that's just a fancy word for extract. I think you're right about this being the first year they used extracts.

 

Banana essence can be either banana extract, or more ominous and likely given they didn't just say banana extract- synthesized banana flavor from artificial chemicals....Yikes....

 

The banana essence tastes delicious. Gimme more essence!

 

I found BC Reserve on tap at Chuck's Burbank. $14 for 12oz snifter.
Nice.

 

Does anyone know the status of bottles at Clybourn GI? Do they have Reserve, Coffee 16, and Northwoods for onsite?

 

They have been changing bottles frequently
