    Part of a sampler pack. Keller Pils/Firebrick/Fort Road Porter/Black Bock. Saw quite a few at Haskell's in Maple Grove.

    I bought the 12 pack last night at Total Wine in Woodbury. Did a preliminary review.

    I agree with your review that Schell's really needs to do a better job promoting and describing their new beers.

    I'm a huge Schell's fan and I had no idea of Black Bock or that Schell's had a new sampler pack out. I see nothing on Schell's website or Facebook/Twitter.

    Anyone know where the "official" bourbon county release is this year? Usually run in conjunction with a distributor, last year it was at SLL but haven't heard anything this year.

    Haven't seen anything on the official release, but SLL is releasing at 11am.

    I am an SLL regular, but for BC will probably go elsewhere. Last year they had a fair amount of variants as official spot, but 2 years ago I was 7th in line and they only released 6 bottles of certain variants - saying that is all they received. As if AB is only dropping off half cases of certain products.

    Anyone know what variants of bcbs the twin cities are getting? Apparently Winona is getting 5 variants which would make me believe that birthday or anniversary is coming to the area.

    I was told that Birthday and Anniversary were not coming to MN and that retailers were getting about half of what they expected to. That's basically what I hear every year, so take that into consideration. I hope Carmella and Kentucky fog are better than they sound.

    I'm willing to try a Carmella, but not going to try Kentucky Fog. Seems like a terrible idea.

    I heard no BCBS at all made it to MN. Best for everyone to just stay home.

    Great meeting you this morning! I opened up the Kentucky Fog tonight as it was one I was least excited about and I’m stunned at how good this is. Really liking it!
