    Well glad I found a bottle tonight. Still plan to hit a local Jewel before work but not getting my hopes up.

    Binny's should have them at 9am multiple locations are saying.

    Stupid sexy Flanders. Does anyone have Otto as their profile pic? That would be weird if not...

    You could probably check this one...

    Congrats, you got the full CBS experience.

    Flippers will profit for a few days until everyone realizes what you just did.

    Good luck to ya!

    See everyone, you too can help others without making some smarmy shitbird comment. Oh wait...damn! I've become what I despise :pensive:

    Thanks and lol.

    Agreed, not to threadjack this, but just a quick comment that I often think why most beer loving people initially join Beer Advocate is that they are looking for info for the beers that they want. IMO, I think people end up getting smarmy and snarky because they think they're funny and good chance they're bored at home.
    Alright, that's enough from me, back to my New England beer feeds.

    Carry on, BA Midwest/Great Lakers. :beer:

    To this day I've never understood trolls. I think Chris Hardwick is reasonably funny, and in one of his standups he mentions trolling people. Just never really got it. Fuck trolls. If you're only interest is to get a rise out of people, I hope you get all the karma that's coming to you. Never understood deriving enjoyment from making other people feel shitty. Schadenfreude on the other hand - that I get!

    Most of the “pre-release” ratings have been solid. Some people that haven’t had it may be expecting a maple bomb which it isn’t, it is much more subtle and integrated. With that said, haven’t had this years so can’t compare to last batch.

    Wow. The Open Bottle was told they couldn’t tap it til Friday (meaning a midnight tapping). Must have had a favor

    They do seem to have "dibs" on them all. I am sure it will only be MI plates at Founders tomorrow.

    You meant to say that you will be "forming" the line, right? Because you'll be the only one there waiting for them to open at 11:00am.

    Do you need your Michigan birth certificate to get in? :wink:

    This isn't BA Expo. Natives know they will have plenty of access to this one, and aren't so worried about outsiders. :wink:

    We love when people come into GR, spend money and help out our local economy. Even if they get a few bottles of “our” beer. People should buy some m-43 while they’re here. Warning - it’s like crack, once you hit that can you will be jonesin for more

    The funny thing is, I'm relatively new to this rather humerous back-and-forth between IL and MI. I just couldn't help since it came up at least every 5th post in the BA expo thread. Haven't seen it much anywhere else except recently in the "Prop for Chicaga brah" posts.

    This is a great attitude to have...everyone should love people coming into their community, spending $$ & having a great time.

    Provincial attitudes are stifling & no fun.

    This reminds me of someone on the Bourbon County thread that wanted people to show Illinois ID's to get Prop...no man, everyone's welcome in Chicago, please come to try and try to get some beer, and while you're here have a blast in a great city.

    I'm coming to Grand Rapids for the CBS release & I'll be record shopping, buying coffee from Madcap, eating the best Asian food I can find & having a great time.

    Cheers!!
