    With all the griping about BA Darkness and Bourbon County realeases the threads helping people find said beers are getting clogged. Every release it's the same whining. Maybe we can just keep it all in the same spot. We could even track the same gripes from release to release. Anyway, gripe on and/or enjoy beer!!

    Cheers!!

    I'm pre-upset about a beer release for a brew that hasn't even been created yet.

    You should be, I already pre-chased all the trucks, pre-bought everything, and have pre-sold it all on craigslist.

    Indeed. We're all adult chuckleboxes fretting about particular overpriced bottles of fermented barley water.

    And now I will pre-heckle you for being a beer pre-hoarder. Very pre-uncool.

    I will horde all the beer released in the state, and you all will have to come to me to get your supply. BWHHHHHHAAAAAAA!

    Seriously, yes I did miss out on the BA Darkness, and BCBS. That being said, the liquor stores I go to handled the releases well, in my opinion. They were all friendly and willing to answer my questions to the best of their ability. I just ran into bad luck.

    Getting BA Darkness will be tough, but I have a feeling there are still some small liquor stores with BCBS in some of the towns surrounding St. Cloud. Earlier in the week I stopped at this small store in Big Lake or Becker and they had two bottles just sitting on the counter. Unfortunately I think they were the last two. The cute old lady working the counter thought I was crazy for buying just two bottles of beer for $20. My younger brother was driving up Highway 10 last night and found a few bottles in Staples/Motley area. I'm not saying run to these towns, but I bet there are other towns in the vicinity with some still on the shelf or in a cooler. There are still plenty of places off the beaten path where very few people know or care about BCBS, and quite a few places ended up with a case this year that maybe wouldn't have in the past and don't advertise it.

    Did not spend a minutes thought about BCBS, Darkness, or BA Darkness and guess what? I am perfectly content. It's just beer. Plenty of other beers and things to consume.

    No worries, I'm going to assume that last year's was better anyway.

    I can make a very good guess as to what store by your comments of the cute old lady and just sitting on the counter. I do know from calling around last night pretty much every store from ST Cloud to Elk River have in fact finally sold out of BCBS, many in the last day or so. Now to the topic, I have been very fortunate in my hunt that not one release has turned into a frustrating, hair pulling fiasco.

    Very little griping. You are all going soft.
    Further, I expect this thread to be deleted or closed for having gone off topic.

    Did Festivus come early this year? This seems a lot like the Airing of Grievances forum!
