    I have never tried to get BCBS. Is it distributed all around the area or does only cretain places get it? If so where is the best places to get my hands on some. I know it is Black Friday when it comes out.

    Thanks

    Best way to respond to this is call every liquor store in NWI that you know has craft beer. Some places will have an up-for-grabs first come first serve however, a majority have had lists long filled.

    Places like Whole Foods and even Walgreens tend to also be good bets, because they're usually not most people's first stop (and people browsing at WF are less likely to randomly grab a $25 4-pack of BCBS than someone at your local liquor store would be).

    Plus, other random grocery stores can be your best friends.

    Some Whole Foods get the variants. Jewel seems to just get regular. Downtown Walgreens / WF locations tend to get variants more than other locations.

    So the Beer Temple is tasting out the '14 BC lineup as I type this. It'll be interesting to see which, if any, shops go rogue and start selling their allotments early and for how much. Also, I hope @quinnsi has a decent security system in place.

    Does Whole Foods get theirs on Black Friday also or is it later?

    From what I understand, none of the NWI liquor stores are getting BCS or its variants. So, everyone should stay away from this area. OK? Please? Thanks.
