    Considering they made way more BCBS'12 this year then previous years i was wondering what people have been paying for it and how easy it has been to get.

    I did two trades. One was for $25/4pack and another for $20/4pack only to discover later it was selling right across the river in WI for $18.99/4pack. Either way i'm happy as it will hold me over till the MN release in November.

    Cheers

    Those packs you traded for are pretty spot on. The lowest I've seen is $21.99. The average some where in between the two price points you traded for. I have seen it for much higher though ($30+) at several locations as well.

    It's sold out pretty fast at the lower priced locations, but there are definitely still spots that have them. There are more still sitting around at the places that have higher price points though.

    Bottom line: It's still out there, but most of the time you're going to have to pay a little higher price to get it. This is all Chicagoland area.

    I'm thinking there will be more shipments as well.

    I picked some up for $28.99. I know higher and lower both exist in my general area. I happened to pay on the higher end but I do not currently have the time to dedicate to running all around to save $4-$5 on the 4 pack so I didn't mind in this instance for a beer that I really wanted.

    I paid $25 for my 4 pack in 1 spot & heard that it was $5.50 a bottle at another place so a few $ cheaper. YMMV

    That as well. We've already seen two other shipments I think. I just don't know if the multiple shipments would translate to other markets at this point.

    yeah i vaguely remember it costing 24.99/4pack last year in MN. Guess i was dreaming to think there was a price drop with the higher supply.

    I personally think '11 taste better then '12. '12 smelt really boozy to me. Either way it's still delicious

    We all wish with the higher supply that prices would drop...

    In all honesty havent had a ton of vintage BCS but I enjoyed the '12 better fresh than an '11 fresh. Both great but didnt get the boosyness that some are reporting.

    I talked to a semi local bottle shop about them getting BCBS and they said they will, but in bombers. Sorry for the stupid question, but does it come in bombers?
