    I'm sure they're losing their asses buying back (hahah, where does this happen?) the old bombers of SA Endeavour. If this comes out to $7.99 or $8.99 for a 4-pack I'm going to buy the utter crap out of it.

    Market saturation... I said this before it came out... If they flood the market they will just sit on shelves. If they made smaller batches like pliney, it would always sell out giving the illusion of rarity. Too much iipa to consume at once. Can't keep up with it. 4 packs, the same way, it will sell well at the beginning, myself included, but if they flood the market with them, it will just sit and not sell.

    I've had both on tap, multiple times, in Houston. I think Chocolate Sombrero is currently on tap at Boneyard.

    As noted above Blaecorn and Sombrero have been on taps on many occasions.

    Houston has had both many times.

    The back label says it is a lager.

    Must just be a new size of keg then. Thanks for the info.

    Shiner Lager? The Shiner lager is Shiner Blonde (which actually was the original flagship 'Shiner' beer back in the day, before Bock was). So, that's interesting.

    Didn't really know where to put this.
    At the tour today Southern Star said their new Rauchbier was part of a new ancient ale series they are starting. The releases will be draft and 500 mL.

    As much as I would love to see Cherry BCBS come here...there is absolutely no way in hell.

    Agreed. Don't hold your breath for that one. Probably just AB covering all their bases. I wouldn't be surprised to see Night Stalker in the coming months though.

    But why Cherry BCBS before regular BCBS? I wouldn't be surprised if a keg shows up at an event somewhere as a one-off.

    Is the Cherry itself a one-off, or is it yearly?

    It's this years special.

    First was rare, then vanilla, then bramble rye, now cherry rye.

    Coffee has been every year since vanilla iirc.

    Not to say none of them will ever come back, but to this point they have been 1 hit wonders.
