Bell's Brewery (2021)

Is there limited distro?

 

Yes, "very limited distribution to MI, IL, IN, MN & WI"

 

I get this argument but last year they required you to buy online during a day/time frame with no proxies & it lasted days so clearly that benefited locals without requiring 90's era release tactics.
To add on I live in the Kalamazoo area & was able to buy online, pickup during my time slot then go home to get online & pick another time slot for another day/time frame. I did this multiple times so I was able to get 3 allotments showing that online benefits locals better than in person does but ::shrug emoji::

 

Thanks, I definitely missed that. Now I am going to drive myself crazy seeing if there is anyplace in Indiana that I could get some.

Appreciate that, and hate you too.

 

Don't know about other states but anything limited from Bell's is very unpredictable for when it shows up for me. Last time Black Note dropped Chicago got it, then almost a month went by and I forgot about it until I saw posts that it had finally dropped here. Your mileage may vary obviously and it could just be a WI thing, but just a heads-up.

 

It's not that bad here in MI but I have had some limited releases hit the east side of the state before here & I live 10 min from Bells

 

Appreciate that. Indiana was always weird when I lived there. Now that I live in Cincinnati, but travel to Indiana so frequently, I don’t follow releases much there, but I am down to try to find some BAE. Really enjoyed that beer, and would love to revisit.

 

So what exactly is happening on black Friday? Bells page says bba expedition release. Wasnt there talk of a chocolate version? And/or maybe the bba 35th version being bottled?

 

BBA Expo is a go. 35th BBA isn’t being bottled. Chocolate BBA is delayed.

 

Any updated info on how much was bottled? Curious to know if “limited distro” means stores will get 1 case or, like 3 cases.

 

So still no Best Brown then....

 

They announced on Nov 18 that it was coming soon

Worry deleted... This is great news! I had a fear of a no BB fall or winter. No one wants to see that day.

 

Already on shelves in Ohio FWIW.

 

Bells posted on IG that it's a 1 case limit at the General Store so there must be a metric crap ton of it this year

 

Hooray!

 

Are we still talking about Best Brown or BA Expo?

 

BA Expo is limit 1 case pp, according to IG post

 

Good! Hopefully I'll get a chance to stock up oncw it goes out to distro.
