So now that we seem to be getting a steady supply of Goose Island stuff here in PA (all over Wegmans), what is the normal release schedule of BCBS and when can we expect it next? Website says TBD. I assume we should see some here upon the next release.....I sure hope so.
One of the things I've noticed with BCBS is the common response is "when it's ready." Apparently the folks at GI are particular about only releasing it when they think it's ready rather than at the same time each year. Last year I got mine in NYS around Christmas time. The last batch was split for some reason (I'm not sure why) and will be distributed out draft only so keep an eye out. It was on draft during PBW.
yeah thought it was only going to be draft till the next release in the fall 12 or winter 13 or something... i think only 1 place had it for PBW.. i've heard of another place that is supposed to get a keg, was supposed to have it for PBW but it didn't show and then i was told it would be a few weeks... hope they get it though so i can sample some.. not going to blow the spot up publicly though so if you want to know send me a mssg and i'll tell you what i know
The one keg during PBW was actually from the batch released in late 2011. The keg only version is coming out soon and there should be 15 or so kegs coming in to the Philly area for that soon.
I talked to a Northern Eagle higher up early may and he said he got an email that morning from goose island around last week of november to first week of december would be the time NJ gets BCBS.
