    Just to clarify, I'm not sure I've ever seen it on Black Friday in Spokane. It seems to hit the shelves a little later. You'll see it at TW North. Last year I also saw it at JB's who was having a one bottle limit per person, but then were selling as much 2013 as you wanted

    If you had a green Mickey's Malt Liquor shirt, would you really have the need for any other?

    KDS is a good beer, and fresh Coffee KDS is incredible. But it's just not in the same league as Bourbon County, no Beer I've ever had is, personally.

    Am I going to have to line up early for this?

    Good to know, thanks. I'm not in a huge rush to have it - if I see it and don't immediately get sticker shock, great. It's just one of those whales I'd like to have at some point before I die, but I tend not to over-obsess about such things, and I'm not going to go to ridiculous lengths to get a beer that might turn out to be no better than others I've already had.

    To each their own, I guess. Both are phenomenal brews. I had BCBCS '13 and '14 side by side with KDS Coffee last year multiple times (2x with '14 and one with '13) - in all instances KDS Coffee felt richer, creamier and more balanced. I've stocked up on KDS Coffee and don't plan to chace BCBCS '15 - if I come across one, great. BCBS vs KDS - I much prefer BCBS.

    Lots of regular BCBS at QFC U-Village, no variants. No one was interested. Easy place to grab one if you want it.

    $10.49

    The people working and the GI rep said they might get variants, but regular only today.

    Whole Foods in University Place is 9.99, limit 3, no variants. Plus their entire beer selection, including BCBS is 20% off. And that's like a sore dick, you can't beat it!

    +1 for Bobs! Free maple bar ... taste of 2013 bcbs (smooth) ... and I was the last person to get the variants = great Black Friday for me!

    Thanks guys! That was a little more intense than I thought it would be... Nobody even saw the BBomb '14, Prairie Bomb!, or BA Bigfoot for growler fills. Oh well, at least the donuts were a hit!

    I totally missed out on the Rare. Anybody got an extra for me? I'm strictly looking to drink it.

    That donut sure hit the spot . . . wasn't even that sore about *just* missing out on the regal.

    I think I was fifth or six in line. Bought the three variants, had already picked up regular earlier that morning at QFC. I was only planning on getting Coffee but the hype took hold.

    Man, variants cleared out everywhere quickly! Lynnwood TW had barley wine left, but who gives a shit. However, chucks is releasing their variants according to the following schedule. BW @ 1pm, Coffee @ 2, and Rye @ 3. Would love it if someone scored me a Rye or Coffee...

    Yeah, all I wanted was a Regal. Got some regular, though. Can't (and don't want to) chase the Regal all over town . . . I still think KDS is better, but would have dug a fruited version. The variants kicked two guys ahead of me.
