    Are they able to be found after black friday? This is my first year looking for them

    Yes. Hard to find, but possible. And almost certainly overpriced

    I have on vanilla and 2 propietors. I am having a beer Tasting at my house and wanted to share. Looks like I will not be sharing those two. I guess I was lucky to get some

    Yes, they're available. Some places are doing their releases this weekend. Some places have not received their order yet. It'll be tough because people are still searching, but they'll be around.

    What's the likelihood of any regular BCBS still being available in the Chicago area come mid-December? I got shut out completely during a run through Orland Park yesterday.

    I could see it happening. If I recall correctly, the South Loop Binny's was pretty stocked up til about that time last year. Some of the Jewels could be an option as well. Do a pulse check closer to your travel back through and maybe some members can give you a heads up product still available.

    Speaking as someone who purchased all BCBS variants in the weeks following Black Friday last year, yes, you can definitely do it. However, it's not only difficult due to timing (you either get insanely lucky or have to be there within an hour or two of the shipments dropping), but this year it seems like distribution is very iffy, so it's hard to tell who is getting who, and when.

    Regular bcbs was on the shelves for months last time, so, unless they cut the chicago allocation by a lot, it should be around.

    I bought a 4 pack of BCBW today, so some things are still out there.

    I have a friend that is going to Chicago on Thursday and I was hoping they'd be able to bring a few beers back.. is there anywhere in particular that might still have some BCBS this weekend? Willing to overpay for variants since trading for them seems unlikely. Feel free to PM me if you have any leads. I can ship a nice box of beer to anyone that can help me out.
