    You had $500 in cash on you?

    Ha, yeah! They were $16 each. I bought two as gifts and one for myself. I gifted one, drank another, and haven't been able to give up the other as a gift yet. It's a pretty nice beer!

    I'll echo 2 of the ones mentioned earlier: BA Dogfather and Clown Shoes Porcine Unidragon. These seem to sit on the shelves in both SATX and ATX, and I seem to enjoy both more than most reviewers on here or the other site. Just be sure to look carefully at Dogfather, though. The labels are identical except the BA version has script at the bottom that indicates it's barrel-aged.

    I actually prefer non-BA Dogfather. Just my opinion though.

    Ouch. I paid $5 a bottle at some hole in the wall bottle shop down here in Podunk.

    Buddy of mine has the best cellar (and its an actual, climate controlled cellar room) I've ever seen. 3600+ bottles and growing. I took a bunch of pics last time I was there: this is his BCBS stash - and note, that row of 4-packs is 3 DEEP. My mind was blown.

    I'm in awe of that.

    My BCBS stock has been dwindling... Need the '13s to come out so I can build up stock again. Lol

    Man, that is amazing.

    Unfortunately, this beer has still alluded my grasp. Hopefully Texas gets distribution of this in the fall otherwise I'm planning on ISO:FT some of my Karbach and Jester King stuff.

    I say we all rent a Uhaul and do a huge beer run to Kansas. :slight_smile:

    I actually have 8 bottles of BCBS, among other things, sitting in Kansas waiting for my sister to drive down. Getting BCBS in KS isn't as easy as it used to be. I remember seeing stacks of it at the liquor store back in 2006 or so. It was $18 a 4-pack. I bought one and absolutely hated it. Lol. Way too strong for my tastes back then. Nowadays they seem to have a one 4-pack limit and they sell out fast.

    BCBS? If I end up going to the Nobi share and you're there I'll give you a bottle.

    I tried a '12 bottle back in February and thought the same thing (though hate is a strong word). Tried it alongside KBS '12 and DuClaw Retribution '12 and thought both were MUCH better.

    Man, that is mighty nice of you and it would be greatly appreciated. I know a there was BCBS at the last bottle share but I could make it.

    I don't remember BCBS being all that great. I mean it was good, but nothing special. KBS though, that was the shit!
