BCS has arrived

Interesting, I cracked a bottle two nights ago, I found it to be more carbonated and a touch more boozy than previous batches. I thought it was freakin' fantastic, but not as good as the first two (i.e. it's in the 4.5 range as opposed to the 5.0 I gave it in 2010). I think some may like it more though for the reasons I stated.

 

Work for Intelli and no coffee from the Caballero family (La Tortuga) I've tasted has spiciness, generally should have more of a juicy tropical fruit and chocolate qualities, although I wouldn't expect those to make it's way into the beer.

 

Same here. Even noted cinnamon in my review yesterday...thought I might be going insane, but apparently not.

Hooray.

 

A lot of the bottles of 2011 I've had had a green pepper spiciness to them. Are you saying this one is different than those, like a hotter pepper or the cinnamon stx is talking about?

 

wheres that cherry rye at today babbbbbbbbby

 

FYI Binny's South Loop has all the cherry spoken for... 12 in line for possibly 10 bottles

 

i need that info for the burbs

 

SL Binnys told me last night they have no cherry rye last night

 

i think alot of places are going to say they dont have it to avoid a hassle....when places are getting a case at max they probably dont want a hundred people showing up looking for it....probably just going to have to walk into a store and find it...just my opinion tho

 

Really? A line started at 7:00 am? Are you in it?

 

#1 baby! I have yet to find a cherry and aren't taking any chances

 

How many people are in line now?
Trying to decide if its worth it to head there or go to Castle Vav and take my chances on the raffle.

 

About 25. Should be enough coffee to go around I should think though I don't know exact quantities

 

Good for you. What time did you get there? Hope you brought your 10% off Coupon too! Works on beer today!

 

Around 5:45. Another dude showed ten mins later. Vav indicated the coupon won't work for beers with bottle limits

 

Coffee won't be so hard to obtain but Cherry Rye is pretty damn limited. As Vav said, he's GI's biggest customer and he got 1 case. Many places aren't getting that much.

 

$18 @ food smart in LS, if any chicagoan is interested. both BCBCS & BCBCRS available. $21 for 4/pk of regs.

 

Food smart is out now

 

wow.. guess I need a car. Sold out faster than I could walk there (and this is my local shop).

 

even walgreens has some. just saw a pic on twitter.
