NJ Bourbon County 2014 thread

Ive given up on nj. I can drive around all day with a slim to none chance of scoring any varients, or just go to nyc and get the sure thing. Im doing NYC

 

I've been told it varies by county... some will be getting theirs tomorrow (or already have) but with directions from Goose Island to hold it until Friday. In other counties, I've been told it won't arrive until Friday, Monday, or later.

 

I think Joe Canal's West Deptford will have it for their Black Friday event.

 

Called them up yesterday. Told me the same thing.

 

I called a bunch of places in Northern Monmouth and some places in other areas of Central NJ. Pretty much got no solid info for Friday. Most said they won't even have it and if they do "maybe" next week.

Spirits Unlimited in Middletown got one case (of Regular BCBS I'm guessing) and all 24 bottles are reserved. 1 bottle per customer. Very surprised to see a store of that size get only 1 case.

 

Last year the shore area store got it on Monday after Thanksgiving, most feel that will happen again this year. Im going to make contact tomorrow with my beer managers as they all said check in Wednesday, than Monday.

 

It's dropping early in NJ, try Hoboken. I found all 4 variants for 2014.

 

Thats the only spot that has released it so far. It was gone this morning

 

I found it tonight in SJ

 

Can you tell us more?

 

There was 1 4 pack left in Woolwich Twp., as of about 1/2 hour ago.

 

Saw an Instagram post Jersey City Buy Rite had Vanilla Coffee and Regular assuming BW too. Took a drive over and there were about 12 singles of Regular on the shelf asked about varieties and was told they sold out. Then saw one of the kids working there buying a Coffee and when I saw Regular was $10 I said screw it and put it back. It's good but too much for me as a single. Rather take my luck on 4 packs though out the next few days. More interested in Coffee since I've yet to try it but I won't be devastated if I strike out.

 

Just minutes from Jersey City is NYC, where I was still buying last years BCBS 4 packs in October. I heard Beerworks in Brooklyn had cases of Coffee last year.

 

Yeah I'm going to go with NYC for this it's easy enough by train. Figured I was close enough to Buy Rite I might as well shoot over.

 

Im like 3 hours south of NYC, when I drop my wife or in laws at JFK, I stop at Beer Works than hit JC Buy Rite after the tunnel. I would go there too, but if your that close NYC will have the goods, 10 dollars a bottle thats a crazy price so close to a huge supply, I would not that pay in SNJ, yet 10 minutes from NYC.

 

I'll be in franklin lakes for the holiday/Black Friday. Does anyone have any suggestions? Would like to find at least 1 vanilla if possible...

 

Glen Rock Bottle King
Ramsey Liquors
Paramus Total Wine

Or just make the trek into NYC and score with ease.

 

I tempted to hit a few more stores today to see if I get lucky. I haven't tried calling stores in the past; are stores generally responsive to phone calls?

 

I refuse to stand in line at 6 am on Black Friday to get it. Most places in south jersey get very limited amounts. I'll visit a couple smaller local stores around the time they open and if I score some, great, if not, oh well.

 

No

 

Is this true on Black Friday? I thought the NYC thread was saying Top Hops was the only place who will have it on Black Friday.

 

A buddy of mine walked in a bodega in midtown yesterday and bought a 4 pack of BCS. It was 2013 dated for some reason. odd

 

It was dated 2013 because it was 2013 BCS. Not sure what's odd about this. We've been saying it all throughout this thread how much BCS NYC gets and how long it sits around in some places.

 

pretty much everywhere in jersey i've called has been helpful. some of the philly places have been a little salty.

 

Poor choice of words on my part. The bodega had it on window display so my friend thought he was getting 2014 (he didn't bother looking at the date) but it was 2013. Not that its a bad thing

 

A lot of places in NJ are not waiting for Black Friday and are selling it now.

 

Cloverleaf is having a black friday event. Regular and coffee on tap. And a flight available of regular, coffee, cherry,and vanilla. Would love to mix the cherry and vanilla together haha

 

Pretty much it was shipped and stores have it and we're told to not sell it until Friday. Some stores are sticking by that and told me to come back on Friday. Others seemed to not care and sold it anyway.

 

Where is "a lot of places"? I called a ton of places and only one said they will have it Friday.

 

Yes where. Besides hoboken there isnt a place in the northern third of jersey that says they even have it in stock yet

 

Or Central NJ, for that matter.

 

I hear end of next week for the Princeton area. Market Place in EB has no clue on delivery. I'm debating just going to PA or NYC and avoid all the nonsense.

 

The wine outlet on meadowlands parkway in secaucus has it in

 

Hoboken has it (or they did) Vine and Sparrow..

 

I just heard that Carton Brewing will be releasing their Black IPA Epitome on Black Friday too, so I guess I will take my chance in Jersey and hope to score some of both........NYC is a pain to get to from Wayne........

 

Take the bus haha. I'm right up 23. Though I will be driving in

 

Epitome is their Black Friday beer. That's not news. Looks like they omitted the biggest detail on ther Facebook and email. All the bars/stores are listed. But some of those stores listed don't have growler stations. Hint hint.

 

so they canned Epitome?, and will be sold on black friday.

 

It is in 4pack cans this year. Not sure of the size of the cans but giving the big ABV I doubt it's 16ozers.

 

4pk 16oz cans
