Bourbon County 2017

Just the bottle shop I think, not the bar yet.

 

Ashland Jewel not getting northwoods and reserve, per the jewel blog that was previously posted here. Simple choice for me then, see you all (and your mothers) at Binnys LP.

 

Northwest WI getting shafted again, less every year, and no variants. Will be glad to see pallet drops in huge grocery stores

 

I'll gladly trade a coffee for another prop.

I'll probably hit up Beer Bistro on Wednesday, O'Tooles and GI on Friday.

 

I heard less then 10 kegs of Coffee and Northwoods for the entire state of WI. No bottles of coffee. Not sure about bottles of Northwoods

 

I was told today that apparently GI shipped a shit ton of coffee to MT because it is the only one in the line below their state's ABV law. So much that some markets (like mine in downstate IL) were originally told no coffee. Fortunately for me, this has been fixed. I have no reason to doubt the person who told me this. And I'm sure some Ohio Ba's on this thread are about to stroke out reading that considering their history. Hopefully it's irrelevant for you folks moving forward.

@macewank I was told negative on the "TBD" Reserve. Bummer. I'll be lining up at LP sans a diaper because I'm a big boy now.

 

Sending nothing but cases and cases of BCBCS to Montana? Hey I love Big Sky Country but this seems bizarre. Bizarre enough it might be true. Coffee fans, redirect your wagons to Billings!

 

The internet tells me that MT's beer ABV is capped at 14%. So there's that. Have the ABVs of this year's line been released? Apparently MT passed a law in 2009 to raise the cap from 7% to 14%. Shit. Can you imagine living in a place that doesn't allow above 7%? Come to think of it, when I was there for a stretch in '08, that's probably why I drank a bunch of Trout Slayer, Moose Drool, and good ' ol Kokanee tall boys.

 

Will there be porta johns? I mean it's Thanksgiving..a deposit is bound to happen....I'm not opposed to diapering up if need be....just need to know if I need to grab a few Depends....

 

You're asking about LP Binny's? They had some in the parking lot last year.

 

Yes ,LP....I should have stated that. Haha

 

I recommend getting in those early. They have over flowed the past few years.

 

I mean. As an adult you sould be able to hold it for a few hours. No reason to be there any longer than that.

 

Great advice. Nobody get there before 6 am, so we should all be good. So glad this knowledge was shared with all of us before we made a big mistake.

I will say that I got there around 8 last year, and used it at some point in the next hour or two after that and it wasn't overflowing.

 

I used them last year and did not have any problems. I got there around 830 last year and had to use it a couple times.

People were bottle sharing so that can effect the capacity.

 

A few kidney stones earlier in life has left my ability to "hold it" unpredictable, at best. Access to facilities is much appreciated and brings a little civility that sets us apart from the third world.

 

According to the Q&A on the Binny's blog, LP only will have porto-potties.

Adult or not, I drink enough coffee standing in a long, cold line and I'm gonna need to rock a piss. It's just simple chemistry and biology.

 

LP will be the only store to have people waiting before/during thanksgiving so that's why they are the only ones to have porto-potties but they are also the only place selling Vintages.

Also people were going to best buy, bed bath beyond since they were open and is a good break from the cold.

 

This is why i was surprised so many people were asking not about portelettes. I thought it was kosher to leave line to use restroom, get food, and get warm. I'll choose a warm bathroom over a portalette any day of The week, let alone when I am freezing cold.

 

Are people really waiting outside LP for 12+ hours?
