    A lot of info all around the site about various Bourbon County bottles, but can someone lend some advice about what the currently easiest to obtain bottle in the bomber format would be? Is it last year's Backyard Rye, or just an older vintage of a regular Bourbon County (not sure when they went completely to 12 oz. bottles), or something different altogether? Also, whatever it is, how difficult are we talking?

    Would either answer change if it were limited to an IP trade in Chicago?

    Thanks!

    IMO, Backyard is by far the easiest at this point... you can still get this trading limited shelf beer $4$

    Gotcha. Well then I'm sure that would make it the easiest one by some margin. What is $4$ for Backyard?

    They havent made a 'regular' bomber since 09, and those are starting to trade fairly high

    I think a BCBCS bomber from 2012 would be the easiest to get.

    people don't really put a premium on the vintage for coffee. and it's an annual release.

    for bombers, hardest to easiest I think:

    Rare
    (sizable gap)
    Vanilla
    (sizable gap)
    Bramble & Prop
    Cherry
    (gap)
    2009 BCBS
    Backyard
    2012 Coffee

    and I'm not sure where to rank the other coffees, I don't see a lot of them traded

    Cherry, Bramble, and Prop are all pretty close a clear tier down from Vanilla. I think you would need close to two 2009 bombers to get any of those, so I think after Cherry there is a gap as well

    Yup that's probably pretty accurate... 12 Coffee is probably a little easier than Backyard...

    I think Backyard was ~$20ish when it was released, correct me I'm wrong fellas...

    looks spot on, but I'd insert King Henry (I know it's not BCB but it's like, a brother or something) right below Vanilla
