    I am going to Charleston in a few weeks. Being from Chicago I am a little spoiled by the ba beers that I drink. The ba Blackbeerd looks and sounds tasty though. Is it still in any stores? Also what other ba beers should I keep an eye out for?

    Not sure if you will find BA Blackbeerd now, as I believe Laura Alberts is out. However, I am a Chicago transplant drone years ago and can tell you Coast and Westbrook can easily hold there own against Chicago's best breweries. Just throwing that out there if you are looking for stuff to take home.

    If you are a BA fan you have to visit Westbrook when you are in town and check out their barrel room. I want to live there.

    Looks like that trade fell through. I have much more then I have listed to trade and still looking for BA Blackbeerd.

    This year's batch (Blanton's) is very good. Maybe the best yet. Someone should be able to hook ya up.

    please point out where I said it was a shit beer, or even a bad beer.

    Was that your intention behind the reply to Dan's comment above? If not, apologies, as sarcasm on the internet is rather difficult to distinguish...

    This year's BA Blackbeerd is much better (IMO) than a lot of more expensive and/or more hyped/name-recognized BA stouts.

    Ryan, me and my wife are always talking about inventing the "sarcasm font". It would solve many conversations. Pippy send me a bm and maybe we can figure something out. I have one extra I don't want to trade but if we can work something out ill try to help

    Also I'm not sure about other regions but us in SC are a bunch of sarcastic bastards.

    Mike, you and wife should definitely get that worked up. It would alleviate me from always putting my foot in my mouth on here...LOL. Also, I've got a few bottles left (in case you want to hold onto that last bottle) and sent Pippy a message before...trying to secure a few bottles to bring in during one of my next visits to the brewery.

    not my intention.
    I probably didn't work it the best but even your list of rankings for the 4 versions show they are all roughly the same

    Lol, you people. If the OP doesn't get a line on the beer I can hook him up. I just don't live in Charleston.
