    So I didn't wait in any lines, and happily grabbed 2 bottles at kappys. I'd love to have the coffee, but I'm not going to wake up at 7:00 to wait in line. Anyways, I'm sipping on this years and its fantastic. Very smooth and ready to drink right now IMO. I feel last years was really hot out the gate. This beer still impresses me and is still the benchmark for bourbon barrel aged beers. Maybe one day ill trade for or get to try some of the rare's or props but this beer still blows me away. I cant even conceive what the others would do. cheers everyone.

    What time did you get there? I almost went there. Last year I was 21st. First 20 got to go inside an hour early and do an incredible Bourbon County tasting with all sorts of crazy variants and vintages.

    7:30 or so. about the same time I arrived last year.

    And just to nip it in the bud, my wife wasn't muling for me. Her haul is going to be a wedding gift for some friends who just got hitched

    Kinda crazy how limited coffee is this year. I was down in Nyc and went to top hops release. They had over 10 cases of 15 rare and probably over 15 cases of regal rye yet just one case of 16 coffee.

    My wife and I grabbed an uber over from home in Portsmouth and couldn't have timed it better. Got a high seat as we walked in down below in the middle of the bar so service was pretty spot on. Immediately wanted a glass of 2015 Black Albert which was superb. Had that side by side with Struise 14Delaphine which was awesome. Also had bcbs, narwhal, 15 smutts stout, Oscar death by coconut(awesome), Peche Mortel, Alla James Bean, ales Viet speed, night stalker and maybe big John? Narwhal was the let down for me but everything else was solid. Got our full pour of 2015 BC Coffee when the tapped it at 5. That shit is epic. Also had a taste of my buddies xocoveza, interesting. The tacos were tasty and came quick. As posted Nick and crew did what they could but it was funny to watch the chaos. The group at the bar to our left was F'ng shit housed too. Surprisingly we were fine which I was stoked on after so many flights. I have the menu if anyone wants it posted.

    As of a few hours ago, Pemberton Farms had tons of the regular, a few Barleywines out (sometimes they trickle those out from the back, didn't ask if there were more) and still some '15 regular and '13 or '14 regular and BW 12oz. The latter are $12 or $13 each, which was too steep for me since I still have a few.

    Whole Foods in Dedham has a few cases of the regular still. Just sitting on the shelf, no limit.

    I didn't see the 12 oz. Barleywine, but the 2016 BW/regular, 2015 regular, and 2014 regular are still there as of about 15 minutes ago.

    Just posting to shout out Redstone in Stoneham. Great releases all day long, they set it up so that every time during the day there was something new. I went in the AM and picked up Stygian Decent from Stone, Another One, and Kiwi Rising. At Noon was able to score 2 BCBS, unfortunately just missed Coffee. My third visit in the early afternoon got me Birthday Bomb! and then the later evening run got me Double Barrel Big Bad Baptist and Baptista. So well run, great people, and great selection thru out the whole day! Great job Redstone and Crew!!!

    I just grabbed what appeared to be the last two bottles at $10.99/each. Glad I passed on Macy's West Roxbury ($14.99) and Blanchard's West Roxbury ($15.99).

    Oakdale Liquors in Tewksbury had a ton of regular BCBS on the shelf ... and I assume they'll stay there at $14.99 per.

    They also had Barleywine -- also at $14.99 per. Strange pricing structure. No limit on the Barleywine. I grabbed the two on the shelf. Don't know if there were any in back.

    Wegman's in Burlington still has regular at $9.99/bottle (still a 3pp limit) and they had a few Barleywines (1pp) at I want to say $12.99 or $13.99 remaining. Regular is just sitting out by that tasting desk in their liquor department.

    Was the limit posted anywhere?
    I picked up 3 of each yesterday, didn't see anything about limits.
