    Chicago always does the Black Friday release of BCBS. I heard CA Bevmo's got some last year, but it went quick.

    When do they drop in CA and does anyone get the variants? Looking to grab some in the East Bay.

    Black Friday here too. Last year most East Bay BevMo's got 2 cases of BCBS and 1 case of either BW or Coffee. Some sold out in under an hour, some it lasted all weekend.

    Whats that BCBS like in ventura? Normally in Long Beach for this time of year, but will be up for my engagement party and would love to toast with some.

    Bevmo & Totalwine had it last year in Northridge. I went to TW about an hour or so after it opened, and they still have a few more 4-packs left. I suppose they'll get it again.

    Ramirez is not doing a BF event like last year. I hope someone will be selling rare.

    with Ramirez not doing an event, that means more places will actually get it this time.

    Some bevmos will hold it for you if you call it in.

    Hope this doesn't mean it will be impossible to get variants. I'd much rather wait in a long line then get permanently shut out cause I'm not besties with a shop owner.

    Exactly. Unfortunately I'm worried that it will be exactly as you say :/

    heard a NASTY rumor today that OC wont be getting rare cause its not a "metro" area like LA.

    hope its not true.

    Isn't rare supposed to retail for somewhere north of $50? Don't think I can stomach that no matter how good it may be

    Maybe I've missed it, but have we heard any MSRP numbers (rumored or otherwise) for the regular or variants (besides Rare) this year?

    And what, like 40,000 bottles distributed. Ha ha ha. But I'm sure we'll still be called idiots that inflate our own beers' trade value.

    We're two weeks away. If they were doing something, they would have probably pimped dat shit out like crazy by now.

    Yeah true, last year was about a month in promoting it. I'm sure they will still carry it though.

    Last year because they were the big show on it, a lot of other stores got assed out in those variants. So it's probably for the best that they don't do an event.

    Agreed. Missed out on basically everything last year besides BCBS.

    Any bottle shops in thousand oaks, newbury park, camarillo, oxnard, ventura I should look into?
