    Multiple Baba variants are coming, but only expect the base and maybe 1 variant to be bottled. Release was last January, so expect news probably in 4-6 weeks.

    If all goes well, we go to STL on Friday, hit as many locations as possible, grab our B/B/T bottles, head back Saturday.

    Welp, guess I'm going to Lexington after BCBS at Middletown. Will have to sacrifice the Black Friday thing at the Keg this year; bottle list isn't super impressive anyhow.

    I'll be with family all weekend with no real time to do any beer hunting. But it's good to hear that Black Friday is shaping up to be epic. Southern Grist in Nashville is releasing their vanilla BA stout on Black Friday, as well.

    So I feel like a stalker. I have emailed/called to every bottle shop/liquor store in lexington about BCBS and CBS. No one has any answers though :slight_frown:. I definitely feel like a druggee who needs his fix haha.

    If Lexington's anything like Louisville, Liquor Barn is going to be your best bet on both. Hearing from the guys around here, BCBS shouldn't be terribly hard to come by, but while they know that Dec 1 is the day for CBS, they don't know how much they're gonna get. Line up early for both!

    CBS is going to suck, I already know it. I have to work on December 1st and can't take off. I hope if anything, they do the after work thing they did for KBS last year. I would like to get reserve BCBS and a coffee variant. Those are the only two bottles I want since Snake Cake is a coming!!!!

    In other news, snake cake at $20 a bottle. Not that bad.

    For the record, CBS isn't going to be available everywhere on December 1st. That's just the first day it'll be for sale. It'll show up at your store(s) whenever they get their normal Founders delivery AFTER December 1st.

    Don't freak out! With a little tenacity (AFTER December begins) you'll be able to get a bottle. Although, this will be one of those times you'll be happy that you built a relationship with your favorite shop.

    A friend and I are planning to make the trip down from Cincinnati for the Snake Cake release, but are looking to get some BCBS in the morning. Is there any location that might be better for snagging some variants?

    I'd say the Liquor Barn in Hamburg, followed by the Liquor Barn in Beaumont would be your best two.

    Well I have moved around the last year and haven't frequented my shops as much as I used to. Usually had an in at the LBs or even Beer Trappe on occasion. I just want that beer so badly so I hope everything works out. If I can get 4 bottles, I will be extremely happy!
