    Awesome. 12oz is the way to go for BCS.

    I'm looking at the case price. $240 last year, and I'm sure it won't be going down this year -- if anything it will go up thanks to the additional 24 oz/case. So let's say $260/case SRP, that means $43.33 per 4-pk, or $11+ when broken up (I would guess $11.49 at Binny's & WF, higher prices elsewhere).

    It was $13/22 oz. two years ago, or $0.59/oz? (Either $12.99 or $13.99). As of last year it's close to $1/oz. Guess that's what happens when you're making some of the best product in an exploding industry, and can't make nearly enough of it...

    I'm just going to say $270/case (after all, they have to pay for the extra glass, labels, & shipping weight), $45/4-pk, and $11.99/btl starting price. That comes out to $0.97-$1/oz.

    Look what happened with Black Note when they changed from 750ml to 12 oz. $24 for 25 oz to $22 for 48 ozs. Now I understand c & c costs more, but I would expect 4 packs of BCBCS to come in at $25-30.

    Yeah, but that was the first time Black Note ever hit distribution, so there was no precedent at the retailer level. In this case there is a precedent of $240/case. I just can't see GI/ABI leaving money on the table, nor would I ask them to.

    True. I'll ask them to: GI - please only charge $150 for a case of BCBCS this year. Please?

    If they charge 10 bucks a bottle then I will buy 3-4pks instead of 6 bombers. What the fuck is the difference.

    The most I paid for single 12oz BCBS's was seven dollars. I've never had the coffee version, but will definitely get some this time. Damn excited about it.

    i really dont see places charging 10 dollars a bottle. i am sure te four packs will be 20-25 places, not to mention, i am sure gi increased production at least a little just to do it that way. if anyone from chicago is that worried about it, just go to milwaukee and grab some. i got 2 coffees up there and a cae and a half of bcbs that was just sitting around. grabbed a coffee on shelves a month after the release in chicago and bcbs 4 pack for 25 as recent as two months ago. i dont think this will be an issue at all

    I see DFH World Wide Stout sitting around
    at 9.99 12oz and I consider that a good beer @ 18%ABV.

    $24.99 after you buy $50 in other GI beers

    Just noticed they use Intellegencia coffee. Same as Dark Lord, though I'm guessing a different bean variety.

    They've ALL used Intelligentsia coffees - just a different variety of Intelligentsia each time...

    I thought that, but wasn't sure (if all were Intell) ... I knew they were all different beans...
