    Paradoxically they've already been on the shelf for a year and are on clearance covered in dust.

    Behind the times here, but Deth by Bramble is solid. It's like what BCBS Bramble v2 should've been.

    LOL. I unintentionally posted this here instead of the Rev thread. Happy Thanksgiving all! Back to drinking...

    Along with the other BA vets, I missed monitoring this thread on Thanksgiving along with the LP line updates

    Drinking a Macaroon with some family right now. It's decent. I don't think I'll be buying another tomorrow, but it's alright. They've certainly made WAY worse variants.

    For some context, I had it at Rare Day and felt the same way, but I was way less sober then. So a revisit under tamer circumstances was required tonight. Tomorrow will be a VR or 2, a few regulars, and that'll be it.

    I came here for the same thing this morning,

    Maybe someone should give updates from the beer section inside... :slight_smile: Is that what this has come to??

    Sorry for invading your space but I’ll post stuff here too.

    apparently only 3 cases of Bardstown made it to CT and I lucked out with one. Was 6th in line at the store and it was one of the places that got half a case, so 6 total. Nice

    Mariano’s at Ashland and Webster told me they only got one case of each, 1pp at the customer service desk. OG is $13.99, VR is $24.99

    I hope this vanilla is good because I bought 4 of them.

    Edit: was supposed to be a clown emoji after my post that didn’t show up.

    Nice. Hopefully that Rare sticks around as a to-go. Hope to make it to Chicago in the next few weeks, would love to grab one.

    Yes! I have very vivid memories of constantly refreshing this page just after dinner to see what's going on and who's in line. Remember all the tents!?

    This is odd, because in the past they’ve never had it out on Black Friday. It’s been a week later or so.
