    Correct.
    However, Binny's won't release the count until the day of. They take into account how many people are standing in line to figure it out. So, theoretically speaking: if twice as many people show up this year (a very real possibility) and they get the same allotment, we'd all be getting 1-2 variants and there's a chance they'd have to break up the BCBBW/Coffee 4packs so that everyone gets something.

    I honestly don't know how they could get more than last year. It was a mountain of a beer. I'd be very pleasantly surprised if this year's allotment = last year's.

    Ima have to unsubscribe from this thread. I really don't have patience for 3 months of speculation and hypotheticals and misinformation and corrections.

    Then "unwatch" it ... I do it all the time. But, I don't feel the need to announce it, lol.

    I'm not even disagreeing with you. This thread WILL reach its breaking point. We're hardly there, yet. And we certainly haven't deviated much since your post at 2:59am.

    Settle down, Sally. If you don't like it no one is making you read it. I'm not trying to stoke the fires on the hype train, just trying to get info from people who have been before. There's no reason to be a dick about it.

    Well, your post being the tipping point of example, you're posing comparison of:

    1) number of people last year vs this year
    2) store allotment last year to this year
    3) customer allotment last year to this year

    Too much effort for something 3 months away.

    Well, I type fast... so it wasn't too much effort.

    By the way, I thought you had "unsubscribed" from this thread?

    I did. There's that nice avatar icon that reminds me I wasted time in here.

    The effort isn't in the typing, it's the thought process and speculation and back-and-forth that will inevitably continue.

    I'm off to submit a suggestion to add an 'Ignore Thread' option.

    Sorry, let me try to get this thing back on track here...

    What's everyone's preference on limited release handling? List? Designated time? Unannounced? Limits?

    The Great Lakes forum is an epicenter of assholery. Welcome.

    I guess I just don't understand why people get riled up over something so stupid. I'm not trying to be a BCBS fanboy and jerk off over beer that's still months away... Just looking for helpful information that may assist me when I head to Chicago.

    I guess some people just get their jollies off by acting shitty towards others. I appreciate all of the good info I've gotten though from @mdomask , @ChicagoNick and others. Thanks fellas.

    It's just that there really isn't any helpful information at this point in time (i.e., it's too damn early). Everything will key off allocations & stores won't know their allocations until literally the day before most times. Anything before then is sheer speculation and speculating 3 months prior is somewhat pointless.
    Just keep an eye out for the plethora of Definitive BCBS release threads that will be sure to pop up in November (if not October). I promise there will be plenty of rumors, hearsay and false information with a sprinkling of truth here & there. Oh and watch out for all the bcbs zombies around the city that week. Walking/driving around dazed hitting speed dial on their phones and mumbling, "do you have any BCBS variants? do you have any BCBS?" over and over and over... foaming at the mouth. It can get ugly.

    All I wanted was basic information from people who have been there and experienced it before. Is that not useful information? I know this year will be different, I get that, but that doesn't mean everything that's occurred before is useless BS.

    But I digress. Thanks again to those who were cool and helped me out, I appreciate it.

    not sure if it was last year or the the year before that, but I went to FFF on the Saturday after Thanksgiving with my sister that was in from out of town and it looked like everyone else had the same idea. absolute shitshow. We got there 30 minutes before noon to a line of over 100 people. we didn't get a table until 2 pm. The upside was that they were selling zombie dust to go so I was able to kill an hour in that line.

    if the negative responses are getting to you, just do a little extra legwork and sift through last years forum posts, you will get all the answers you need and then some.
