Bourbon County 2018

I understand that many on here know much more about beer than me.

I understand that personal preference is a thing.

That said, having tasted through the entire lineup at Sheffield's, it will be so nice to sleep in on Friday.

 

Do they know who I am? DO THEY KNOW WHO I AM?!?!

 

...*2017 BINNY'S Black Friday Prices*...
$11.99 Bourbon County Brand Stout
$14.99 Bourbon County Brand Barleywine
$14.99 Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout
$24.99 Propietor's Boubon County Brand Stout
$24.99 Bourbon County Brand Northwoods Stout
$25.99 Bourbon County Reserve Brand Stout

...*2018 BINNY'S Black Friday Prices*...
$11.99 Bourbon County Brand Stout
$15.99 Bourbon County Brand Coffee Barleywine
$15.99 Bourbon County Brand Wheatwine
$24.99 Propietor's Boubon County Brand Stout
$24.99 Bourbon County Brand Midnight Orange Stout
$24.99 Bourbon County Brand Bramble Rye Stout
$24.99 Bourbon County Brand Vanilla Stout
$24.99 Bourbon County Reserve Brand Stout

For Binny's, prices are in line with 2017 with BW (and WW for Coffee) price up $1 and Reserve actually down $1.

Binny's LP Full Allocation estimated price = (11.99 x 2) + 15.99 + (15.99 x 2) + (24.99 x 2) + 24.99 + (24.99 x 2) + 24.99 + 24.99 = 246.88 + taxes

 

Can now confirm. Sheffield's is both a shit show and has enough of all variants for everyone.

 

See, If I were Costco I'd ensure my members got first crack. I would just go through the lines and say have your Cost Co cards out and anyone not with one would need to get out of line so they could sign you in/check ID. And of course then they go to the back of the line and the allocations are already filled....

 

Tim o Toole BCBS Wednesday is garbage! Advertised as 2 variants every 30 minutes starting at 5pm. 5pm was regular and wheatwine, fine. I had to run so I asked what's next at 530. They said they can't say but what are you looking for? I said orange or nilla. They said one of those are next of the 2 we tapping at 530. At 530 it was Bramble Rye and Coffee BW. Liar. I left!

Buddies stayed and told me smart choice. They tapped orange eventually at 6pm and orange only. Then said they would tap the next variant after orange kicks. It is now 740 and my buddy said they just tapped Prop after reserve. Accordingly to ad, all would be tapped by 630 and yet it is 740 and Nilla won't tap until Prop kicks. BS glad I left. Funny thing is they are all already tapped and ready so it was like they needed to switch kegs, they sat there milking it. Fine but then don't advertise 2 variants every 30 minutes.

 

Why would you exclude Bourbon County? It's one and the same.

 

Yikes. There goes your writing opportunities at Inbev owned shadow publications.

 

I agree. If Goose Island released great beers all year, they'd probably get less hate. This is the only GI product I'll buy, because it's the only thing from them I enjoy.

 

This is good.

 

agreed!!

this variant lineup was shit. I feel bad for people who will line up for bottles of this year’s trash.

 

Aww yeah, the drama is starting already.

 

9pm on Wednesday and no mention of a line at LP yet.....

 

Staying in the New Albany area until Saturday. Im new to Ohio.
Any good spots to pick up some BCS at Giant Eagle or Meijer? Just curious, seeing if I can low key pop out and try and pick up coffee or VR before I head back to Chicago.
Any place that might have something on draft?

Thanks bros

 

Current ranking:

Prop>Reserve>Midnight Orange>Regular>Bramble>Vanilla

Variant haters can suck a nut because Prop is legitimately great.

 

Yeah, I was pretty unimpressed. I'll have to try them again. I'm pretty sure that, regardless, I'll still love Prop.
