    Probably waiting for variants. I too grabbed some regular at my local jewel, but to get any variants you’ve got to hit one of the event stores or a Binnys, etc.

    FYI, you’ll be able to walk into any Whole Foods in about 2-3 weeks and see cases of regular sitting on the floor. No need to chase it at 6 am the day after Thanksgiving

    Sounds like this was perhaps the best LP has ever been for a BF release?

    Woke up at 8:30, walked into Jewel and walked out with a mixed case of Regular, Prop and Vanilla. Easy peasy.

    Anyone notice that midnight orange says “develops in the bottle up to 2 years” as opposed to the others still saying 5 years? Anyone know anything about that?

    I was 63rdish in line at Naperville Jewel. They ran out of Prop, Vanilla, and Coffee Barleywine but got 3 regs and one of the rest. It was wild to me that they ran out of Prop before Reserve.

    Yes that is in the ABV Podcast too. STC Binny’s had us at 36-37 at 7:15. Same time last year was 50-60 so there is a jewel effect

    People were looping through for 3-4 full allotments (minus Reserve but everything else) at RF Jewel.

    Don't they still flash pasteurize bourbon county anyway? Meaning it won't develop at all over time?
