BCBS 2018 NYC Releases

No.

 

Not angry, just asking a question.

 

Is that the rarer of BCBS this year? I don’t know how to keep score with these beers, haha.

 

Mate I would not have had you down as someone with any level of interest in BCBS

 

FWIW I haven’t seen Reserve (or Coffee Barleywine) on Long Island at all. If that Reserve really is “only” $20, I think that’s a steal.

I think it would be remiss not to mention, most Westside Markets are pricy anyway. Pricy for Manhattan, which is saying something.

 

That Westside Market had a bunch of Reserve still when I left. They’re 30 a pop. Somewhat funny it’s cheaper than Bramble and Coffee Barleywine.

 

Update: went to a local bottle shop to grab some muled cans from yesterday's OH when the owner's son whipped out bottles of the Wheatwine and Vanilla from under the counter. Caved and bought one of each.

There goes the last shred of integrity that I had.

 

Nah, I enjoy these beers. They are always very good (except when infected, ahem) and I think still the gold standard for monstrous stouts/pastry stouts, etc.

 

Exactly, although I confess that nearly half of the BCBS I've ever consumed has been poured over vanilla ice cream.

 

Sorry, I was wrong . . . it's $30 at Westside.

 

Anyone recall how WF Gowanus faired with this release last year? Did regs stick around for awhile or no?

 

It’s okay by me. I’m not in Manhattan anymore. I know once I tried to buy a singlecut bottle there and they were charging $10-plus. A grimm can was $8. I walked out. This is the one on 3rd ave in the East Village.

 

Just picked up regular and the Wheatwine at Urban Market in NYC. It wasnt out in plain site but i happened upon it near the back.
$12.99 for regular
$14.99 for wheatwine

 

weird, i just left the Westside market on 15th street and they had one lonely bottle of coffee barleywine for $21.99

 

Carmine Street Beers has released their pricing and limits for BF release:

 

The disparity we're seeing in the coffee prices is astonishing. $30.99 at West Side Market, $19.99 at Carmine Street.

 

Clinton Gourmet just posted, but with no prices:

 

Eff that $15.99 for regular, still have a basement full of previous years.

 

In spite of what our local hazepecker @rozzom says, I will be there sans walker. Will look for you, remember what you look like from your old profile photo and I think I have seen you at Sixpoint. Looking forward to this event.

 

Dive Bar is doing their event at 730pm tonight. Info was posted super late 2-3 days ago. Reserve on tap.
