    As a former employee I can assure you all that no one has ever lied to a customer on the phone. We tell you exactly what we knew, which was never much. I worked the BB9K release and two BN releases and the easliest I knew the beers were going to be for sale was when I I clocked in and saw them in the cooler.

    It actually hit some stores here in MN on Friday. Sounded as it was a complete surprise to them.

    I haven't checked my bottle dates, but another person said their bottle date was 3/12/14

    The BNSS are flummoxed with these recent developments. They've donned their BNSS motorcycle jackets & are circling the general store until Larry or Laura come forth and give them answers to put them at ease. Well either that or until the cooler gets stocked :wink:

    Guy in release thread posted a pic that it's in the General Store, but who knows if that's valid or not.

    I'm cool with people keeping it a secret (I guess) but it seems somewhat silly to lie about it.

    For those that know, about how long will it stick around there? I assume it goes insanely quick? Last longer than a day?

    Last year with the release of it in the 4 packs at the end of December, it lasted for at least a week in the general store.

    No telling. Last year the Frangelic Mountain Browners kept it a secret until after it was sold out, so it lasted a while.

    It lasted a month last year if I remember right.

    How about Bell's stealing the thunder from the KBS distribution? Looks like it will be a simultaneous release now, or at least a lot of overlap between the end of this week and into next week.
