BCS has arrived

Yes. I like to visit the snow. Not live in it

 

I love snow, it's -20 degrees temps I'm not fond of.

 

Or just click a button on the internet to get 4 bottles in a 4 hour (BA Speedway) window or 2 bottles in a 15 minute (Black Tuesday) window. Both were much, much, much easier than tracking down a bottle of Cherry Rye, at least so far.

 

was in there as well....manager tried justifying it....i couldnt possibly pay bar prices for it

 

yeah that 2011 on draft at clybourn though was super niiiiiiiice

 

Had the 2011 at emporium a few weeks back on draft. That is a tasty tasty beer.

 

Binnys grand said cherry is not coming back to their store. Supposedly toomanybatches were ruined which is why the shortage. Coffee on the other hand I heard has some hope for next week deliveries

 

I had heard only 15 cases of Cherry in Chicago (I don't know if this meant Chicagoland, or Chicago). With so few, I guess distributors would deliver sooner than later, just to be done with it and make room for future hauls. I further speculate that if a store received Coffee w/o Cherry, then they probably will not receive Cherry next week.

It's anybody's guess, eh?

 

Not to hijack, but Binny's Grand had about 15 cases of bcbs on the floor this afternoon

 

Yes! I picked up another 4-pack yesterday along with my Coffee. That stack was a welcome site!

 

cherry rye is going to be that certified white whale

 

Didn't really look but was there a limit? Have a trading buddy who wants a 12 pack.

 

I think we all here collectively have a problem. Regular BCBS sitting on the floor, walk by without a care, throw some fruit in a barrel and it's OMG OMG OMG WANT!1!!

 

Bramble wasn't that great

 

It's a pretty polarizing beer from what I've seen. I think a good portion of people don't like fruit in their stouts. However, that doesn't really preclude the release craziness. From what I remember Bramble was almost as bad as this when released, although I think there was a bit more of it to go around so it wasn't quite as bad.

 

I know a guy who wants a case ( 24 )

 

Bramble is my 3rd fav BCBS, behind Rare and Vanilla. Amazing beer.

 

after trying vanilla for the first time at the tasting on Friday at GI it might be my favorite variant

 

I didn't see any sort of limit.

 

I agree, Bramble is awesome (and has mellowed into a completely different beer since it was released). At the Black Friday tasting, my top three were Vanilla, Bramble, and Rare.
