    Standard has a limit of one case and Rare is 3 bottles? How many cases did your location get?

    Will the price list be published? (I'm waffling on utopias and it'd be fantastic tob know how much cash to bring.)

    Thanks!

    I would imagine they got a ton of it since that was the marquis location for BCBS in Texas this year. Dallas got quite a bit - Kroger in Denton had 50 cases.

    I was at Specs downtown Houston this morning for BCBS (along with many other highly sought out brews). I was told they received 1,400 cases of regular BCBS.
