    Beer Temple's analysis only involved hard costs like the raw ingredients, barels, box ($8, making up most of their estimate), etc. did not account for cost of labor or soft costs like marketing. Not to say AB won't make plenty on Rare, but it's not the whole cost.

    They're just trying to pad their 401(k) and stock portfolios. Smh.

    Looking forward to some details being released. We were planning on heading to Chicago for the release, but it's sounding like it may not be worth the trip.

    I'm a relative BA newb (dispite my join date). I've never had BCBS. I saw a tweet from Ankeny south HyVee that they open at 7AM on Friday. The line started at 4:30 and were sold out at 7:30. Is this what to expect everywhere?

    I always travel that weekend to family, and usually miss it. Last year I luckily got a pack on Monday, so I'm hoping for some lucky breaks again . . .

    Yes, most likely.

    Oakland Rd will be doing their release the following Monday, most likely.

    If you go to a store that gets variants your best bet is one of each. So it really doesn't matter which store is #1. You arent walking out of anywhere with 2 Rare or Regal

    They probably get it early but can't sell it until Friday. I've heard of stores releasing early and then basically getting blacklisted for future releases

    Yes he said hawk fans wouldn't want to come out for it with a game that day with the season they've had. Much applause from me here.
