    For sure, man. The makeup world is just as crazy as the beer one in a lot of ways.

    I think he's referencing the cringe sub-Reddit (saying it was cringe-worthy)

    Fulton taproom has both triple barrel AND open seats at the bar. Madness.

    I have so many questions. Let's start out at a base level here - Do they allow sharing in line?

    I hear the first batch of a limited mascara is always better than subsequent batches.

    This years Bramble reminds me of Claire’s Thirsty. Its a lot of fruit. It’s fine, but I would never know it was Bourbon County without being told.

    All of the other fruited BCS were very clearly BCS first, with the adjuncts added. This Bramble is all about the fruit.

    hey all. if anyone lives near round lake / rlb, Round Lake liquors has everything except reserve behind the counter.

    edit: youll pay a premium on them, but if you really want them theyre available

    Did not like midnight orange. I also don't like chocolate orange candy.

    Reserve was good. Prop was also good, really fudgy. I think I prefer 17 prop to it.

    Stumbled into two bottles of 17 coffee today. That was a nice surprise.

    That was one of my observations regarding the 18 lineup - which of these beers are actually bourbon county? The barleywine and wheatwine clearly are not, I and I don't get much bcbs from the orange or Bramble. There might be some in the nilla And prop but they cranked the adjuncts up to 11 on those.

    Reserve and regular were then only ones i recognized as bourbon county....

    prop $60, barleywine & wheatwine were $30, the orange and berry $40 and regular 15. but you could just buy the one you want
