    Oh god, I had forgotten about those bottles. I saw them at least a month back but my brain must have blocked the memory :grimacing:

    Someone in marketing has been drinking some Ola Dubh apparently. Wonder what were are going to see for a price increase.

    Use Chrome (won't work with Firefox and I have never tried with IE) and google "Goose Island reveals 2015 Bourbon County" then click on the article link. Bye Bye paywall.

    More importantly than variants arguably is this crap:

    As notable as what’s in the bottles will be the bottles themselves: All BCBS beers will be packaged in new 16.9-ounce custom brown bottles that will be sold individually. Designed by marketing and design firm VSA Partners, the bottles include prominent raised lettering and a small label affixed to the bottleneck.

    I knew those bottles had to be the end of 4-packs.

    Lets see pricing in these bad boys. I have a feeling the big gouge is coming down the pipe in regular.

    So like a 40% increase. Not thrilled but thought it might even be worse than that.

    So at least for regular, 500ml for $9.99 is 0.59$/oz when last year it was 12 for $6-7 is 0.5$/oz-0.58$/oz.

    4-packs were still only $19.99 down here last year. Hence my 40%

    As long as I get at least one coffee I'll be happy, but considering how little we got last year the odds are not in my favor.

    Damn, wish it was that way up here. I'm expecting reg to not be the suggested retail up here but a $ or two more.
