Goose Island Bourbon County variants

Drank a coffee version with my wife last night and it was delicious. It is a beer that is best just slightly chilled. I didn't like my first few sips which seemed out of balance and kind of harsh when it was cold. Once it warmed up though, it was awesome. Going to be hard to give up the bottles I have promised out to other BAs who missed out, but you have to share the beer when you can. Plus, I am either lucky or an alcoholic as I was able to score some at each and every store I stopped at (Rochester). Even passed on Coffee and BW at multiple locations so others could get some.
I wish there was some Backyard to be found, but I am pretty sure we didn't get any down here, otherwise I would have been hooked up with at least 1.

 

RUB IT IN SOME MORE!

j/k - Lucky you!

 

Yeah, obviously there will always be those that want more (I'm among them), but I guess I feel like 2 bottles is worth a trip. Drink one, cellar one. Or drink one, share one. And in the case of Cellars in Eagan, you had to choose between regular and coffee... you couldn't even get one of each.

 

MGM in Minnetonka has it: 1 bottle limit, $8 a bottle. Have at it....I passed because I'm sick of their insane price gouging on limited releases.

 

Lake Wine did the same thing, thought it was a good idea as well.

 

Liquor Boy $7.99 each limit 2

 

Just need to get a large group of people with a bus and head to Chicago for Black Friday. I have gone down the last two years and it has been totally worth it, especially if you do the Clybourn event.

Can't wait to open them with some friends who couldn't make it.

 

Also, Plymouth Liquor 2 limit.

 

"I'm in favor of 1 bottle limits when I'm the 24th to arrive, 2 bottle limits when I'm the 12th to arrive, 4 bottle limits when I'm the 6th to arrive, and no limits when I get there first."
-Every limited release thread

 

Anyone seen any on the east side? I am getting sadder with each visit to my local stores.

 

who are all of you?

 

So XmnwildX12 what all did you get. I went also with a couple buddies and did well.

 

The better question is, who are you & have you brought more wild pear sour?

 

I've seen BCS for $5.99 and the Coffee & Barleywine for $4.99. One bottle limit stinks if you only go to one store but I get the thought behind it. They have to try and let everyone have a taste of the nectar! That being said if I only got one bottle of BCS I'd have a hard time not cellaring it. Can't wait to open my '08, it might be time.

Just so everyone knows some stores still haven't put out their BCS and some get it Thursday or Friday so there is still hope for all of you. Happy Hunting!

 

I'd feel better about this but the problem is I'm not satisfied with my zero and those guys aren't satisfied with the 4-pack + they're already gotten. And those guys don't seem to have jobs so I'm working out of a hole in trying to find these places that aren't getting it until Thu-Fri.

 

I've found that life is better when you're satisfied with your zero.

 

Actually, I've come to the conclusion that the truck chasers either are destroying their credit cards or selling drugs. Only way to explain the seeming lack of jobs yet endless supply of beer money. I'm writing down names - let's see how good you are at getting rare beers with the drug task force close on your heels.

 

I wonder if any of the car accidents have been from truck chasers sliding around on ice and snow? Pretty bad timing on the big releases this month.

 

I got a pretty good truck chasers story. Will share later. Made me laugh.

 

It reminds me when my wife was chasing Beenie Babies in the 80's!!!
