    While some folks are occasionally perusing their local store's sales bin for deep discounts on 2024 bottles, it's never too early to start the 2025 lineup speculation, right? The likelihood of any the below being an actual variant is probably slim. Well, not as slim as the likelihood of seeing BCBS in 12 oz bottles this year. Anyway, here ya go.

    All of these sound 10x better than last year’s Prop. I’d tell them to just go for it.

    I thought the same thing. These all sound better than many things in their previous lineups over the last few years.

    After having CW's peach brandy BW I'd say the peach melba would make a better barleywine variant than stout but these are probably destined to not happen sooo....

    Cognac and Cherries, Dates, Peaches? Those variants sound so weird, Goose might actually do them.

    How about 10 oz though?

    Nope. 12 oz or GTFO. :laughing: Interesting development. Wonder why they eschewed 12oz bottles. Wish they would add some variants under this packaging as well. Like BCBCS and BCBBW perhaps? :wink:

    Yeah. Better than the 16.9 oz singles, worse than the original format (RIP BCBCS/BCBBW). We'll see what the price looks like too, probably gonna find a way to increase the price per ounce despite being a 4 pack so they can afford the stupid 10 oz bottles.

    That's exactly what I'm thinking. The 4 pks in 2022 were 40 so that's about .833 per ounce which is about 33 for these then. With their $20 BA releases hopefully continuing, it's going to need to be a favorable price for me anyway. Certainly not $30.

    I can't tell if this is real, or one of your AI tricks again.

    I was just trying to figure this out myself. This whole dystopian AI future thing is not going to be kind to us old fogies.

    Really like this format. I definitely bought more regular BCBS than average a couple years ago when they did the 4 packs.

    I'd like to see those four variants in a 10oz mixed-four-pack. Or a six, including two of the OGs.

    Normally I'd say 10 oz is too few, but I do think it could be a sweet spot for days when I don't want to feel sluggish from BA stouts but still really want one. There are certainly days when I won't crack a 16 oz for that reason.
