    So many questions...

    How many bottles will there be? More or less than Cherry Rye?

    Will it actually taste like coconut? I heard they recently added more coconut to it. We've been burned by coconut beers so many times before...

    Will anyone who is on the list for Coconut Bourbon County Stout get a call when Proprietor's Bourbon County Brand Stout shows up at the store?

    Less than Cherry Rye, it has to be since it's going to be Chicago only.

    And randal a regular BCBS with Coconut to see what they're capable of. It's one of the best variants to try.

    Coconut Rye was served at Night of the Living Ales this year. Tasted like coconut.

    Although I've not had it, there have been so many reports of this being on tap that I can't imagine there's anything shy of a fuckton. My guess is that the Chicago market will see relatively large distro as a response to last year's (and 2011's) "fuck you"

    I certainly hope this doesn't hit Chthulu like proportions of rarity!

    A 'Sconnie' sounds like something you'd catch from a $2 hooker.

    That would explain how I got a 'Sconnie' from your Mom.

    Heard 200 cases for coconut from an OH Goose Distributor (we wouldn't get it anyway since we suck at high ABV beers). Hope it's at FOBAB!
