Black Friday Houston

Probably deserves its own thread. By noon Friday, this thing will be 12 pages long and hilarious (for a given definition of hilarious).

 

I'll be back in Houston tonight and ready to roll Friday morning. How early are people getting downtown?

 

Early enough!!

Someone bring brown paper bags so we can conceal our beers haah!

 

1500 is a good
time Friday afternoon.

 

Hmmm... Some sort of Sith mind trick...

 

anyone in line before Friday is a goddamned idiot

 

I just wish we could know if it was just hitting the downtown areas or the outskirts...though seriously... it will be easier to drive around downtown than anywhere BIG black friday stores are.....

Oops, forgot.. family obligations will keep me out of any Friday morning to afternoon hunt.... oh well.. hope I get lucky later on!

 

Going to be a chilly morning. I'm not even sure I own a winter coat since I moved away from Buffalo.

 

Whole Foods is getting BCBS on Friday, even the little one by me in Houston. You just need to find and follow the truck! LOL.

 

Will most of the main craft places in Houston get kegs of this to put on? Not on black Friday I'm sure... but sometime in the next month.. I could just enjoy it by the glass if I don't find any.

 

Both Petrol and Hay Merchant tweeted that they're getting kegs. Safe bet that both Saucers will, too.

 

I think they so. Petrol said its coming and Hay Merchant is tapping a keg Friday, so I'm sure the usual suspects will each get a keg, (if not more than one)

Edit: What @Beernerds said, I guess I need to type faster

 

Meanwhile, Ronnie has it in the Chron. All bets are off now.

 

Great.... now the don't really care unless its cool hordes might also come out. Why don't newspapers just die!


(just kidding... I grew up reading the paper everyday since about the age of 8.... I still even get the print edition everyday)

 

lol wow, if they are printing that people have planned on lining up at 6am, I can almost guarantee the first person is there by 5:30 or so

 

Hopefully Specs will be like Pumpkinator release day and everyone goes straight for the BCBS and ignores the other available goodies.

 

f'ing bloggers. Get a real job.

well i think i just decided to stay home friday morning... I was willing to deal with a small crowd, however, I'm not willing to deal with the hoards that broadcasting it via the chronical may bring out... i'll drive by at 9, if the line is around the corner, i'll be driving home... it's not the BCBS bringing me out... it's all that other awesome stuff that joey has stashed...

FYI - i spoke to rosendo yesterday.... he is anticipating getting some BCBS at his kroger.... so the distribution footprint on this release might be huge....

 

'What if I told you about a line that wound its way to a new and special beer?' LOL.
It's done... the hoards will be there now.
