BCBS SoCal releases

I was at Mr. K’s earlier today as all the BCBS was being unloaded... Like a princess wearing a chastity belt, I simply felt teased because I was no allowed into glory. Cheers, BA’s. Be well.

 

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Mr. K's teams up with Goose Island for this annual event. Most places will not have the full lineup and most previous year variants are because they cellared them themselves. BevMo will typically carry the original with a few select locations receiving variants. Same for TotalWines - each location receives different variants.

 

Hard to tell if the lack of positing in this thread is indicative of the lack of interest in BCBS these days or the lack of willingness to share one’s secret store with loads of variants. Lol. I was a bit lazy myself this year to call around.

 

I really only want vanilla and bramble, everything else is whatever. Even at that I’m not chasing.

 

Anyone have SKUs for Costco?

 

Went to HB costco today and they didn't even have anything in their system for this district under bourbon county. Got vanilla and coffee barleywine at hi lite liqour in Westminster this morning. They had the midnight orange and wheatwine also.

 

Anything in general? I can go to marina Costco tomorrow

 

Anyone know what the retail price for the Reserve edition is?

 

I honestly don’t know that Reserve hit SoCal at all. I don’t even think Mr. K’s got it.

 

I didn't quite know how easy these were to get until I checked out Mr Ks around 10 and they had like...everything. No line.

Then I did a little shopping in Brea and afterwards stopped in at a Pizza Press. They had five BC beers on tap. Nobody was there.

Cracked me up recalling a BC event at Pie Dog a few years ago when people were lined up outside, waiting for a pour.

 

I think everybody is being stingy with their info. Was hoping there would be some deets

 

They didn't have anything in the system under bourbon county. Other than that they had nothing special

 

Reserve was very limited this year, and only makes it to Kentucky and Chicago-area as far as I heard. Prop being chicago only.

Was out of town, but scored some variants in Oregon

 

Went to marina Costco, they didn't have shit but the regular stuff as usual.

 

I went to the best liquor store in OC, Mr K’s, and picked up a Barleywine Coffee, Wheatwine, Bramble, Vanilla, and a 2014 BCBS - no BS “you must buy x amount to get a variant.” On my way home I then stopped by Red Hill liquor in Orange and picked up a Vanilla, in which I also had to buy two regulars. Oh, and the Vanilla was $29.99, whereupon it was $24.99 at Mr K’s.

 

Further proof Mr. K’s is awesome....

 

It was Thanksgiving for God sake i had to take care of you guys. Did you try all the beers? Cheers!

 

Thanks for your kind words. Cheers!
