    It seems that the coffee variants are very rare as usual. I wish they'd streamline things by producing more of the coffee stout and eliminating the god awful pastry variants.

    ^my tw populated as well. $13 regular. Bw $15. $25 orange.

    For the past few years, we have only been getting regular and bw. I'm guessing orange will be third more readily available if lowly NM gets it.

    I suppose they could charge $20 for a 500 ml if they properly keep it at my favorite store for a couple years :grin:

    I am going to play the "go later" card this year. With all the regular laying around (still) I am wagering loads will be around again for this go around. The variants are not impressing me, I loved the Coffee last year and would wait for it again if available, but the coffee this year is just odd to say the least. So time to let others stand in line and roll in mid morning to see what spoils still exist.

    Oh, hell yeah. I realize we all have different tastes, but I would much rather pay $25 for 750
    ml of CBS over 500ml of BCBS Midnight Orange, and yet I have had the chance to buy CBS and passed, without a thought. How many other people will be thinking the same? Wouldn't it be amazing if they actually had to mark those beers down to get them to sell? Or perhaps, not so amazing ...

    All we got here in SC was regular, vanilla and orange. Seems some places upstate got wheatwine. At least I didn’t have to wait in line at all.

    Bcbs variants had to be sent back to distribution, they exceeded the abv.

    I drove to a bigger town 25 miles away. We got 20 cases of original, no variants, with a limit of 2 bottles per-person. I ended up skipping out all together and buying the last remaining bottles of Surly Darkness instead.

    Shocked to find very limited amount of Coffee Barelywine and Rye Barrel Raspberries/Blackberries in southwest Missouri. Never have seen variants here before. Sounds like the 2 craft stores in town got one case each of the variants. One was first come first served, the other is raffling off right to buy among those buying regular and on draft. Pretty pleased to score some.

    Finally got some in my market, and thus into my store. Unfortunately I only a got 1 case of the regular...

    On the bright side my distributor brought me a sample bottle each of regular and the vanilla variant. Also surprised me with a 2014 from his personal cellar. :slight_smile:

    $20 for wheat wine
