    That is who I dealt with as well. I just kept telling her: "there is no way I can drink all that 312". I kept asking if I could buy different craft to get to the 312 12pack pricepoint. Then I pointed out that all the 312 was really old, which it was Feb 2018 can date. She finally folded and rung me up at 3 separate phone calls to her husband from one customer. Persistence paid off!

    Ha, after all the negative things I’d read about it on here I went in expecting it to be undrinkable, but actually really enjoyed it. At least while it was cold. Once it warmed up, the vanilla started to taste too much like someone poured a bottle of extract into the beer.

    FWIW, I felt the same way about midnight orange. Pretty good when cold, which muted the orange just a bit, but far too medicinal once it warmed up.

    Sorry, since she's not pregnant anymore, I'm afraid I can't do that.

    Wow, my question is what release did you plan the kid around if it wasn't Black Friday?

    You may want to show her the post earlier in this thread about pregnant women being allowed to double dip allocations....

    I wish I could claim credit, but lets just say her water broke Sunday AM after I had had a chance to grab BCBS/variants Friday morning and Saturday morning. I was ... relieved?

    Truth. Was she one to have pickle cravings? If so, I have some beautiful '15 vintages that will really hit the mark for her.

    Did you learn nothing from the 2017 Bourbon County LP Binny's release? You can mule them and sell their ticket for a profit far earlier than that.
