    WooHoo!! The long and anxiously awaited handcrafted BCBS variants have arrived safely. Can't express enough thanks to you bevoduz for doing this. I hope my return fire will excite you as much as these beers have me excited. Now in my fridge they go and the first one will be opened tomorrow night. But which one?? Cherry? Coconut? Decisions, decisions, decisions. It's going to be a long night and a long day at work tomorrow...

    Oh, and also Bevoduz, just a friendly request... my in-laws live a short 40 minutes from you. So if for some reason you wake up in the morning and some of your beer is missing, please don't call the cops on them. :wink:

    But seriously, I visit them at least once a year and almost every time I visit I drive through your town. I'm going to have to hit you up the next time I'm through there.

    I say we wait til the others get theirs, let @bevoduz decide which one, and all drink them at the same time for one cocnut and one cherry.

    Kinda like a #circleVBS

    That'd be an actual virtual bottle share, LOVE IT! My original plan was to sit on them for bottle shares, especially any that involve Stouts III/12 Days participants that didn't get any of this, but I'd be happy to open one or one of each for a true VBS

    Decatur, the armpit of Illinois. I lived there for 5 years when I worked for Tate&Lyle (Staley).

    @bevoduz I will give you the opportunity to influence the return fire if you so choose. Are you in a stout mood? A sour mood? Should I hit wants or new PA stuff?

    I also want to say thank you again for all the time and effort you put into this thing! :grinning:

    You are a good man.

    Also, SUPER JEALOUS of these awesome variants everyone is receiving. You are some lucky guys! These sound waaayyy better than any of the Bourbon County Brand variants people are going nuts over!

    man, would love to get a taste. would totally have a bottle share at my house if my wife who's due in a month will allow me to have a whole bunch of strangers drink in my living room. she always gives me the stink eye when i drink because she can't have any so i've learned to drink in secret. i feel like i'm going down a dark path...

    would definitely like to put @bevoduz beers on my ISO list

    Bevoduz is the real deal.

    We did a keg split last year - and what he did with that base BCBS converting it to his Vanilla and Cherry versions is really something special. His Vanilla version handily beat Vanilla Rye at recent blind tasting, wasn't even close!

    Well done!
