Backwoods Bastard '14

Wished I was closer to Holiday where the prices are reasonable and consistent.

 

Word. I was able to pick up a BB Narwahl with a 4 pack of Backwoods Bastard and 4 BB Imperial Mayan Mocha Stouts. I'm just glad I wasn't there when the Bo & Luke/BB Biscotti Break came in. I don't think I would've been able to exercise the proper wallet discipline. Thanks @Holiday1072!

 

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw that FB update later in the day. I'm wondering how many of you I saw there without knowing it.

Wondering if places that hit stock yesterday have enough to get to the weekend, let alone last until close of business yesterday.

 

That's sad. Tell them to stop lying.

 

Founders BB has landed in Dayton, Ohio as of Tuesday.

 

Called Ray's in Milwaukee after work today, they were sold out. Discount in Waukesha had 4 pks left, limit 1. You had to ask for them in the back.

 

Picked up a 4-pack tonight. My local Binny's had a fairly big stash,though it just went on sale this afternoon....

 

Woodmans Falls just got 5 cases today too. Didn't have a limit at the time but I already purchased 1 x 4 pack from Rays, and my wallet has been hurting with all these special releases!

 

This is from March 2011, so it might be different now, and just a couple people's opinion:

Woodman's Oak Creek seemed to have a case left out in the open and the store clerks response to asking how much was left "Plenty". As of last night around 7PM.

Limit 1 4-Pack per person.

 

Anyone know if this has hit any Binny's or Whole Foods downtown Chicago yet?

 

I found the answer to my question. Nevermind.

 

Indianapolis just got the Bastard today. $15.11 at two different chains.

 

SE MI - Park Liquor on 9 Mile & John R... not sure how much they have but I'm pretty sure there's no limits. $15.99

 

Have any of the Binny's in Chicago (not burbs) been cheaper than $14.99?

 

Well shit. Everywhere I saw it had it for $17-18.

 

So those in Chicago still looking, the best chances to get it (unless, of course, you know of specific stores) is Binny's. They pre-ordered and got a TON (we're talking 15-20 cases at a lot of stores), and are selling them with no limits. The Binny's on Grand expects them on Monday, while the Binny's in Oak Brook expects them on Thursday. Good luck.

 

Ummmm, yasure?

 

Just going by what Beth said before she left for vacation. I called the store this morning, and the guy said they didn't have (I missed that tweet). I do know that Oak Brook is definitely getting it next Thursday (Alex was expecting it yesterday, but it wasn't on the truck).

 

It's all gravy.
I've seen it at other shops around the city for $15.99 and can get specific if anyone wishes.

But for me personally; I'd rather buy a bottle of Weller Antique for ~$26 (after tax) than Backwoods Bastid. Don't get me wrong, it's a helluva beer, it's just over-priced when compared with bahgin brrrbin.
