    There's already a page of discussion in the Label Approvals thread.

    General consensus is: Who knows.

    PS: I'm about to open a BCBS.

    I have heard they are now releasing the base (not coffee or cherry) year round, so I would guess a few of their new markets will be getting it this year. Of course that is just a guess.

    I really don't know how people have the will power to age this beer, while fresh it is so damn good.

    It's very hard to age. I received a 4 pack in December and only have one left... just too damn tasty!

    You're probably right but with 3 to 4 years it's really something special.

    I think I might be the only person whose response to BCBS is "meh". I have 6 more, and might just trade em off for something else.

    Santo is one of the worst beers I've ever had, so I think I'll have to pass. Thanks, though. :slight_smile:

    BCBS isn't beer. It's trade currency.

    This years bcbs was pretty easy to get. Distribution and quantity were up quite a bit... to the point where it is still on shelves. Just picked up some a couple weeks ago. I hope it does come down here, I used to get a case each year... but it has been difficult the past couple years.

    You have more than people who live within a mile of the brewery! ;-)

    Sad thing is... You probably could have replaced "live within a mile of" with "work at" and still been correct. Lol

    I love this beer.
