    I'm curious which BCBS variants the twin cities received last year. I know of a few people that found the variant, but did any of the more rare varieties make it here? I'm hoping to do some "goose hunting" Black Friday and I'm curious if I will see anything other than BCBS or BCBCS?

    You'll have to go to Chicago to get anything on Black Friday.

    I'm hoping to find something other than coffee and standard. Traded an arm and a leg for cherry rye.

    We saw Coffee and Cherry Rye (much less) last year if I remember correctly. I believe the GI press release said all variants except Proprietors (coconut) will be sent to all markets where sale is legal, so we should see limited Coffee, Backyard, and Barleywine. How much is anyone's guess.

    I'm guessing zipps and 44th+france are biggest GI sellers in the region and would probably see best selection?

    It is hitting shelves in Des Moines next Friday. This news comes straight from our local GI distributor, Doll Distribution. Most other markets I've heard are also releasing it next Friday. Strange it's different up in the TC.

    If everyone would've just drank more of this...

    Or others in their regular lineup...we wouldn't find ourselves in this predicament!


    Yes...I'm guilty, as charged:sunglasses:
