    I am starting to see events popping up in SD and around the state for Black Friday but haven't seen much in Orange County. Anyone know of special events going on?

    I did Out of the Park Pizza for Black Friday last year to sample all the Goose Island/Bourbon County specialties (migration event?) but was a little let down by the super high price per pour. I haven't heard anything from them yet for this year though.

    I got nothing, little help?

    Ramirez beverage center (2765 e olympic blvd, Los Angeles) will have the official So. Cal bottle release on Black Friday, they'll be getting bcbs, coffee, barley wine, and vanilla rye. Beer belly will be having bcbs and variants on tap on Nov, 26th

    per @Earlycsquid in another thread, Bottle Logic's Darkstar November will be released on Wed before Thanksgiving or maybe Black Friday ... I had this beer at Shelton Brothers and it kicks ass!

    Ok, just found a reply post by Bottle Logic on FB ... Darkstar November is being released Wed, Nov 26 ... Guess they'll have a "special" hours since they are typically closed on Wednesdays.

    Per the FSW website on the Maltose Falcon page;

    Still no official word, probably just ask Jeffers tomorrow about it.

    I see they open at 9am. What time do people generally line up for the variants? I have never been to Ramirez Liquor as I just moved to California and live in Orange County.

    For their grand opening I passed by at 630/7 and there was a couple of in line already. By opening there was 300 people in line. I wasn't going to wait, I came back about noon, walked right in and walked out with $400 worth of cantillon and bourbon County. But who knows how it will go down this time.

    Bevmo and whole foods will at the least get some bcbs, whole foods may get variants. Other than that we are still working out allocation. Buzz wine and beer, mission liquor, silverlake liquor, cap n cork, will most likely get bcbs and variants. We are still working it out but those stores are your best bet.

    Like @Elbatmanuel said, they had a line for their grand opening so I am anticipating the same buzz. We have incentives for people that show up early that you won't find at other locations so it will definitely be worth showing up early.

    Keep an eye on their facebook page for more updates

    Wow great info. Most likely im gonna go to Ramirez since that has been my local shop for about 4-5 yrs. I never heard of Buzz Wine but I should check them out being only 20 minutes from my house. I also go to store this called 2M liquor, the guy there told me he will only be getting BCBS though. Thank you for the info.

    I really hope that that's an errant post and its at the LB location otherwise the Seal Beach location might be ripped down due to the number of people trying to cram into it.

    Either way I can't wait to try all the variants side by side.

    Yeah, I am in OC so I usually frequent the SB location due to proximity but I could see this one getting outta hand. Wish they'd lotto pairs of tickets or something. If I am in the area though I will make an attempt to stop in but fear hearing about a queue forming at noon for a 5PM event.

    I hear that INBEV raised the price on bottles this year 30%
    4 pack of varieties will be $26.99
    vanilla and prop $26.99 per bomber
    totally sucks if this is correct because that price is insane
