    Are you talking about the old mayor of Washington DC who liked the white stuff?

    I feel that knowing is half the battle.

    If we're getting another berry-fied variant in bottles... well, more money to spend on Scully, Halia & Juliet, I guess!

    Nope, you're totally right. I made the same mistake that I always give Goose Island grief for when they print up a menu/beer list and call it Scully.

    Shoe? Say hello to the other foot.

    Who knows, guys; it could be a BCS collab with FFF. In which, case it would have to be called Bourbon County Brand Stout Wick Boysenberries (BCBSWB).

    Regardless, I'd like a taste of this right meow.

    Wasn't a huge fan of bramble if this is the next variant I probably wont be a huge fan either. More for trading!

    Or you could leave them on the shelf for people that will actually want to drink them...just a thought.

    If FFF got involved, they'd add soy beans.

    But they'd be the most metal soybeans you've ever had in a beer. And most likely the most evil, too.

    Or I could not... and trade them.

    I love when people complain about other people getting limited release beers to trade when everyone does the same thing.

    There's a big difference between buying an array of limited beers you expect to like, trying it and deciding you want something else and then trading vs. "I bet I won't like this, but can flip it for whalez."

    I hope you go into the boysenberry (provided it is the release) with an open mind at least. I'm sure no one would begrudge you trading some after you try it then make an informed decision. A lot if people on here frown upon perceived opportunism though. Especially when the hunt seems to get more insane every release.

    Bramble actually improved after 1+ years with Cherry Rye getting progressively worse IMO. I hope someday that they bottle Neapolitan Bourbon County Stout.

    What about people who don't trade? Why should they be punished?

    Let's not be dramatic here. 99% of places have a 1 bottle limit anyways. So even if I wanted to buy the whole lot, I couldn't.

    It will be the same as bramble, buy it, put it on the shelf for a year and it will be delicious

    Actually everyone Does NOT do the same thing. Most people grab an extra bottle or two (if possible) and send it to a great/regular trading partner. Do you even BA bro?...
