    I have not had a chance to go hunting for BCBS at all this year, and appreciate any leads on bottles or variants in west metro. It sounds like a few of the variants saw pretty broad distro, so hopefully there are a couple rattling around locally still.

    Total Wine Bloomington had at least 30-40 bottles of the #4 oatmeal stout variant and around 10 bottles of the earl grey tea variant yesterday when I stopped by.

    Did the Twin Cities see any BCBS Birthday or Anniversary? Just curious if we even received either of these (I understand if we did they would have been long gone last Friday).

    I saw some in Monticello. They had 3 of each at Hi-way Liquors when I was there about noon on BF.

    Both were here. SLL seemed to have a couple cases of each when they opened on BF, they handed out cards with variants bar coded 1 of each PP.

    @eggsurplus is correct. Next Friday is the scheduled release for the Twin Cities. Beer started heading-out to distributors this week to get to stores next week.

    Reading this I thought they had released large 48 oz bottles/jugs of the stuff taking it a step further than the 32oz Sucks bottles. I was thinking, "that's quite quite the middle finger pointed at the folks calling for the end of bombers/large formats." :joy:

    Thanks all for reports of BCBS sightings! TW Chan still had original and the 3 "standard" variants when I was there today.

    Did the Bruery 12 Drummers hit Minnesota last year? If so, any still around?
