    Hi my name is Neal and I have a BA stout buying problem.

    Enjoyed a McKenna BA Neckbeard Nectar on draft at The Beer Cellar this afternoon. I picked up a Gray Skies NN since it was only $29. I figured I’d keep the debit card loose and active so it’s ready for Vanilla Deth next week.

    Yes I believe it said limited distro in the Rev thread. But not the other 2 beers at the 12/7 release.

    I doubt it will be like the abundance of Cafe were seeing. Cafe and Tar are stacked at like every Binnys right now. Cases of them. I expect the "limited distro" of vanilla will be more like code switch, with stores receiving just a few cases, and selling it by singles or pairs. At least that's how I interpret it. I believe they said cafe and tar have "wide distribution" and vanilla has the "limited distribution" tag like code switch.

    Wild Onion is the origin of the name Chicago, most likely. Named for the wild onions, ramps, found in the area.

    Did you really see stores with cases of Code Switch? (that is, 2 or more) I did see very few with two, but most had one.
    But yes, you and @Nbrock24 have it right just as it says in a few places (Rev website, FB, etc...)
    Come on @Coons, do your research before you ask - you can Google that shit. :grin:
    (I encourage you to go to the release next week on 12/7 and hold a can of each for me :wink:)

    Interesting fact. The creator of Drago makes beer for Noon Whistle now.

    Most stores I saw got a case or two of CS, yeah. I probably could have said a couple, not a few, but the terminology works fine either way, IMO. :wink: And the point still stands about vanilla. It probably won't see a ton of distro, is all I was getting at.

    I think his point is that it will be difficult to find outside of the Rev release. But carry on with your semantics that are only making his point more strongly.

    I didn't know that @HouseofWortship changed his screen name.

    All joking aside, it's a joke, but a couple is two. Definitionally. A few is more than two. They aren't the same, but no sense in saying that. Just trying to make a funny.
