    You got him. They usually release the stuff around Black Friday so figure tickets should be sometime before then...:astonished:

    After the mug club members get their tickets, how many tickets generally make it to the public? :wink:

    You could have walked to the end of the line at Lincoln Park at 9am and gotten the full allotment.

    That was last year though after we heard the nightmare of 2014 no one wanted to go out. Now everyone is going to go thinking it will be easy in 2016 since it was easy in 2015, making the best time to go in 2017 when people don't go because 2016 will be overcrowded...

    Then, consider that there will be some folks that decide not to bother at all this year because of the infection problems. I wouldn't expect the crowd to all of a sudden double at LP.....

    Lol, just call them Bourbon County Brand, don't specify the type of beer until it finishes developing in the bottle.

    This may be the first year that I really don't care about BCBS. It's losing it's hype for me. Of course that's not to say I wouldn't buy any, especially variants (which we never see), but it doesn't have the luster that it once did. If we get any variants this year, I'll eat my words...lol

    We're still waiting on an official lineup announcement from GI, right? If so, does anyone have any inside intel on when it will be made?

    That's correct. No inside info, but my speculation is that it'll come in the weeks following the end of the 2015 BCBS Regular/Prop refund period, which ends next week.

    Totally agree. Once the refunds go out they will be ready to put it behind them and announce the new season of beers.

    Do any stores in Michigan ever release these not on Black Friday? Or is it some kind of rule that all bcbs is released on black friday

    In years prior to the 2014 release smaller shops here in Chicago would release pre-Black Friday, often the Tuesday or Wednesday before Thanksgiving, when they received the product. GI locked that shit down in 2014, though, and it's been massive coordinated BF releases since then. You'll still see some posts of pre-BF acquisitions, seemingly from distant stores that receive the product in advance of Thanksgiving week, but these places risk incurring GI's wrath.

    As far as MI specifically, all I ever see on BA is complaints that the state never sees enough volume or variants. Not sure about release schedules.

    I think the trend in Chicago for smaller stores is to not release it on BF or even that weekend and to wait a week or more until all the non-locals leave. They want to reward regulars who may be out of town for Thanksgiving, not people in from out of town who want to buy whales on a weekend.

    Has Rare only been released twice (2010, 2015) ?
