BCS has arrived

That's another place that I called last night and they told me that it had come and gone. WTF.

 

haha, thats what these shops are doing now. The place in homer glen got it, called my buddy. I immediately followup with a phone call to them and they said "we are not getting any". I dont care if you had a list, or were already sold out, it just confuses the shit outta me when im getting told different stories, and trying to figure out where and when it hit.

life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough

 

Oak Brook area encompassing downers, westmont, glen ellyn, etc etc

 

Had it at the Black Friday event and liked it more than Bramble. Considering how much Bramble has changed in a year I'm sure that Cherry will be something worth sampling at a few different future time frames. However I won't be searching this one out due to how limited it is in Chicago; if I happen across a bottle I will purchase it. The crew at GI put out another quality beer, but I'll happily pick up another BCBS 4 pack that gets overlooked during this huge hype.

 

FWIW, I think Goose knocked Cherry Rye out of the ballpark. It might be a nearly perfect fruited stout to me and I want to consume as many bottles of it as possible. Having it fresh, I think Rare is the only variant I liked more.

 

I wasn't the biggest fan. However I didn't think Bramble was anything crazy when it first came out and I really enjoyed it at GI Black Friday. If I get more than one bottle (yeah right), I'll let you get first crack at my whale auction (seriously though you can have any extra bottles I come across)

 

I wasn't surprised to hear that it sold out within the hour at that price.

 

So here's a question. I had Bramble fresh and wasn't a huge fan. I'm of the opinion that the berry was over powering and made it taste cough syrupy. On the other hand, I had it recently and really enjoyed it now that some of that berry flavor had mellowed out a bit.

Knowing that my one bottle of Cherry will most likely be my only bottle of cherry, would you suggest having it fresh, or do you think the experience would be similar to the bramble?

 

Me.

I think its hilarious you all are bending over backwards looking for a bottle.

Shit is not that good.

I can think of 20-30 other barrel aged stouts I would MUCH rather drink/buy than another bcbs cherry.
And the coffee was also just not impressive this year....Last years was a lot better fresh and when I just had it a couple months ago.

I dont see the Cherry getting any better...It wasnt an overpowering flavor at all, it just wasnt that enjoyable to begin with.

 

Like others said.....They have stacks of regular BCBS readily available....They throw some cherries in it and suddenly its worth 4x as much and is soooo much better??

LOL nobody can deny AB-In Bev has yall by the NUTS.
They're loving every second of this hype.....Who said GI was gonna fail after the buyout LOL

 

PlayaPlaya, don't melt so hard, it's just beer.

 

I thought that this was your troll account.

Damn.

 

half the fun is in the hunt imo.

thats why i dont bang prostitutes. only reason.

 

On a scale of 0 to Cybill, how crazy do you think I really am?

 

In an entirely expected move of continued douchiness, he has raised the price to $29.99 and you can only get a Cherry Rye if you buy a Coffee as well, also at $29.99. $60 gets you both if you dont mind this price gouging bastard.

 

"Ray, When someone asks if you are a god, you say YES!"

Maybe you coulda got it for less if they guy doesn't know who his regular customers even are.

 

I went in thinking $25.99 was rather steep, but worth the cost of admission. When he thought it was cool to charge different people different prices, I figured the store wasn't worth even stepping into.

 

Oh don't mind him. He's just working to counteract market forces of supply and demand. What it means for his profits is just a coincidence!

 

Big gulps, huh?

.... Well, see you later.
