    Maybe it's a little early to raise this question, but I'm from Northeast Ohio, so I can't expect a BCBS release anywhere in my area, but I'm within reasonable driving distance of Pittsburgh, so I'm curious about the availability of BCBS in the Pittsburgh area based on previous years' releases and any inside info y'all might have about this year. Are there any specific bottle shops know to have received allotments of BCBS? Has it been/will it be released on Black Friday? Thanks for any info you might have.

    $10 per bottle, one bottle limits and hard to find. Drive into NY for better quantities and chances. My in-laws live near Buffalo and I have much better success there.

    I thought NY (Buffalo, Rochester) were bad until I came to Pittsburgh.... Good luck.

    Trade for it. BCBS may be the only beer in existence that is easier and cheaper to trade for than actually buy it in Pittsburgh.

    Last year Calientes charged $15 per bottle. Price should be around $6. Did anyone on here pay $15?

    Last year there were only 3 places that had Black Friday releases and the rest came in the following week or two. Kegs were distributed around and are still popping up now for some reason.

    Black Friday is the first day stores are allowed to sell it. Most will get it the Monday prior, if you have any connections at bottle shops call around a few days prior and see what they've got.

    Also, I'm sure as we approach, you'll see more than enough trading threads on here.

    With what should be a much larger bottle count, I wonder if Pittsburgh will actually see some variants this year, or if we will get treated like the asshole of the United States like we have in the past.

    The latter, I'm sure.
