    I can't say this bothers me so much. If you want it that bad, show up when the store opens before the loopers can get back in line. It's not like the variants would last several hours without the loopers ... they'd be gone in no time anyway.

    It ensures that everyone there at open gets everything up to the limit - but they still sell out immediately. I think it’s the right way to do it for this type of release

    These are the same people in your office who go nuts when someone brings in candy or food and leaves it in the break room. You could bring in shit-filled cupcakes and they’d still choke them down because they’re free.

    I must be wearing orthotics, because I stand corrected. Maybe it's the one lump some that got me...I'm a liar if I say I haven't collectively spent a grand over a few months on beer.

    I will say, after a couple pours of vanilla BCS I can see things no one else can see, and do things no one else can do.

    Anyone hit any any WF tonight that had prop or reserve on draft? Stopped at Lakeview and they had the rest of the variants but not those two.

    So I'm drinking some vanilla now and it's completely different from before. The fake taste is gone and it's still very strong on vanilla but taste much better.

    Before = draft and now = bottles? Or?

    I had vanilla from the bottle last night and really enjoyed it. It was smooth, vanilla forward for sure, but I never got the “extract” character people mentioned. It did overpower the usual chocolate/tobacco flavors that I enjoy in BCBS, but when I want that I’ll just go to a bottle of regular.

    I’ve got a bramble vs. currant deethmatch set for tonight.

    From what you described, I was there with you. I was third in line and super pissed that I drove an hour just to get my hands on one vanilla that has eluded me after they told me it would be available, and they make one bottle available. Unreal!!

    Say what you want about Whole Foods, but their prices are unbeatable ... $7 for 8oz pours of everything

    They'd certainly last a lot longer.

    I had a bottle of Prop 2018 tonight. While not the beetus bomb that Bramble is, it's very sweet.

    However, I think chocolate lovers will find it enjoyable, if not incredible.

    Interesting and worth a try, but the 3 bottles I got will be more than enough for me (thank you, Prop Day gods).
