Goose Island Bourbon County Stout - Coffee and Cherry Rye '12

If stores were more upfront and the release was more organized (i.e. released statewide on the same day) there would be no need to call.

 

Hold on, you DRANK the beer? I'm afraid you're doing this all wrong.

 

Thanks to distributors and exclusive store deals, this will never happen. And, based on many phone calls I've received before (both in terms of quantity and audacity), there's still no need for most of them...

 

Malloy's in Glen Ellyn got one case of Cherry and at least one case of Coffee. FCFS.

 

I think you guys put way too much stock in the organization of distributors. I know for a fact that a lot of stores, big and small, don't know shit until the delivery gets there. Your idea is a good one, but will literally never happen.

The worst part, however, is this type of phone call, which I have been told is frequent:

Store: Hello, thank you for calling STORE, how can I help you?
Entitled Beer Jagoff: Bourbon County Coffee?
S: Pardon me?
EBJ: DO YOU HAVE IT?
S: No, not y....
EBJ: *CLICK*

I am certain that most people, on this board and in general, are not like this. But the, let's be generous and say, 15% of people who ARE like that really reflect poorly on the community and make stores not want to co-operate.

Most importantly though, that Coffee is really fantastic this year. Best one yet.

 

Just called said they sold out already

 

Of the cherry at least... I already got coffee though

 

i'll be using that soon.

 

anywhere else in the area get it? BM me please!!

 

What area are u talking about? There's a lot of areas.

 

did any other liquor stores in the Glen Ellyn area receive Cherry Rye today.

 

anyone know where to get some downtown loop/west loop area?

 

Time machine.

 

Walgreens Greektown apparently has Coffee for $28. So yeah.

 

Some beer guy told me today that they weren't getting any Cherry BCS because the creator of Bourbon County quit 2 days ago. So Goose wasn't sending any out. Maybe next year. LOL

 

Seems reasonable

 

Oh my god, greg hall got rehired by goose and then quit again

 

I picked up a Coffee at Lakeview Binny's last night around 6. They had 2 cases left, probably gone, but worth giving them a call.

 

I think this is what he meant. Good for John looking forward to his beers,
