    Speaking as someone who has multiple years of BCBS sitting around and could use the same break...

    Where's the fun in that?

    Anyone have any idea what the Milwaukee area will be getting for variants?

    I won't know if the distributor has any BCBS info until tomorrow.

    If they were pouring bramble that would make sense. I grabbed my pour off the north side of the street and it definitely didn't resemble regular.

    We'll see what happens. A place I'm planning on going to next Friday will have it on draft along with bottles for sale.

    Yeah, I was really amazed when I saw it was Bramble. What makes it a bit trickier is that only one of the two or three sixtels on that side was Bramble. The others were Regular. I got my pour from that side, and it was definitely Regular...just not as good as years' past.

    I had this Friday along with a Rare, very good. Hoeing they formally release this down the road, was not listed on the menu at Clybourn.

    This was the best I could do this weekend in lieu of no prop day tickets, beyond the fake ones emailed Saturday.

    Going to take a little more time for them to do any releases. They don't have a bottling line yet.

    They could always bottle it at Fulton. The brands are no longer separate.

    At a frigid 35F for Prop Day I'm surprised you guys even trust your own ratings.

    Oh I know they're no longer separate, but they don't have any plans to bottle anything in the near future.

    And how about those of us who have never been to prison?

    I feel bad for any fire department divers responding to emergencies around beerfests in the future....

    Those prices might be conservative given Inbev's recent lower earnings and 50% dividend cut :grin:
