    BCBS is great, got a bottle today for free for the first time.
    It was as good as I have heard.

    Got tired of waiting. Got some 2012 BCBS and BCBCS coming in a trade.

    Banger's needs to negociate us a few kegs of BCBS. :grinning: I'm certain by now they are they are Brown's #1 keg client (outside of Spec's) in town. That place RUNS through some beer! They've done some special tap releases with them before in the past (like the big New Belgium Lips of Faith event with 6-8 (?) vintage LoF beers on tap. That was epic.

    World of Beer Stone Oak. They have Matilda on draft according to their mobile app. The Tap Exchange had Sofie at one point, but I think it blew already.

    Hah, would love for this to happen. If BCBS ever makes its in to our town, I guarantee we'll get enough to provide all the BA's with their fix.

    Oh my fucking god. I just got my trade w/ BCBS in it.

    I don't curse much, but BCBS, where have you BEEN my entire life?! Already posted a review... but wow.

    Now I understand the fuss and muss.

    God bless cold days when I get trades that are actually at refridgerator temperature right before I'm about to hit the hay for the night.

    I'm not sure how BCBCS can (somehow) be better than this... but I aim to find out!

    It's not much better, but it is better. I'm waiting on 2 bottles of Coffee as we speak. Have plenty of BCBS so I'm covered there.

    Learn to spread them out. I have enough to last a year if I don't go crazy. lol

    I'm gonna start asking northern traders for at least 1 bottle per trade so I can build a small cache. LOL.

    I got mine the old fashioned way. Drove to Michigan and filled the car with beer! lol

    I did get a bottle as an extra. Not complaining. :wink:

    Just steep some coffee beans in regular BCBS for about 10 minutes as it warms up. Gives it a nice coffee flavor like BCBCS. A vanilla bean works too.

    I've actually got a BCBCS from the trade as well, so no steeping required. :slight_smile:

    MacGyver bootleg style!

    Can I then sell growlers of BCBVS and make millions?

    Been on this site since 2010 and never had BCBS? You have been sheltered.

    Coffee BCS is in my top 5 greatest beers of all time. I trade for it anytime I get the chance.

    Does the booziness die down with aging? Got 8 BCBS from a buddy, but it's too hot for me fresh. Hoping it dies down over time, or I might trade it

    I had my 1st one last week and it was a bit boozy at first but as it warmed up the deliciousness took over. Can't wait to get this in Tx!
