    Alright,

    First off, I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to draw trade offers or trying to potentially win a trade here...

    I ran across 3 bottles of Love Child 2 on the shelf this weekend. I was under the impression earlier this year that it was gone like hotcakes everywhere...well when I came back to campus in the fall...boom. There were about 10 bottles in one of my stores.

    I have mine to cellar and have tried it fresh. My question; why don't people buy this up? It was a pretty good funky sour. Granted a $22 price tag.

    Anyway, if anyone in Indiana wants to know where this is, BM me. I don't want to just say and where it is so some a-hole bombards them and buys up all 3 (bad karma man). Or if anyone out there wants to attempt to arrange a trade, I might be open to it, despite my self-imposed trading ban to save money. Cheers!

    It definately wasn't a quick seller around here, but I liked it a lot. It lingered for month or so at a couple of grocery stores. Cheers!

    I'm not looking to trade for one, but this was a very good sour beer. If it was on the shelf I'd snatch it up.

    Like Mike said, it was around here for a bit. I suspect it had a lot to do with the $20.00 price tag. Not worth it in my opinion, though I still have one.

    Yeah, I second everything. Its a very good deal. I cant believe it hung around anywhere. The price is a little steep but well worth it IMO

    It would have been around longer if I hadn't bought 3 cases, but sadly I am down to 2, so if anyone is FT I have a bunch of stouts I am trying to get out of the cellar. I really like this beer.

    Did you find it at one of the Sahara Marts in Bloomington, IN? I think I saw it there the other day but passed on it

    That's funny. For those who don't think Chicago is a cut-throat, back-stabbing, truck-chasing hell hole when it comes to retail releases, and think we just buy cases of whatever we want and bitch to up the trade value, this beer was a backroom special everywhere I called, one per person, and I struck out on finding any.

    at least your state got some, sucks you struck out. our boulevard rep made the decision to not even bring any in because the allotment was too small and they didn't want to piss anyone off, and thus they pissed everyone off.

    Love Child 2 was awesome. I think it's getting better too. I bought a few and am down to my last one.

    This thread makes me thirsty. I'm throwing up an ISO.

    Looks like it will be very soon. I was perusing TX label approvals recently and came upon this:

    April: Love child #3, 80-acre 12pk
    May: Saison-Brett

    Didn't Love Child come out a little late last year? I remember it hitting Indiana right around when Saison-Brett was available. Hopefully I can pick up some Love Child #3 next month when I'm at Sour Wild Funk Fest in Indy.

    I walked into a store last week in Indy and found a few on the shelf. Bought two. Had one this weekend and realized I should have bought more. Real tasty. Also found a few four packs of BCBS at a store around the corner from my hotel. Very nice surprise.
