Both Heritage and Four Firkins are saying late Sept or early Oct, Chicago Trib article is saying late Nov for MN; anyone know?
Late Nov. would suck when it is supposed to be released in WI this week. Either the dates in the article are wrong, or GI will bottle another batch in Nov. is my guess.
From the Chicago Tribune which I assume comes straight from a GI press release: "As for standard BCS, itwill be distributed to the following states: Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and Virginia (week of Sept. 17); Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Delaware (week of Sept. 24); Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska and South Dakota (week of Nov. 26); Tennessee and Kentucky (Nov. 26); California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. (week of Nov. 27)."
You might need to go to eau claire, hudson didn't get any last year iirc and I work at casanova and we don't expect any.....
They made 5x the amount they did last year according to that brewery spokesman in the ChiTrib article.
when I called Casanova they told me they are expecting it and they do get it every year so that seems kind of strange, especially in light of the fact that they are producing more this year
They made more. Chicago got 10x more and this year BCBS will be distributed to California. Hard to tell how much of an increase retailers will see from what they got last year.
