Philly BCBS 2017

The whole situation was an absolute mess. They emailed me on Tuesday letting me know they would hold 2 regular BCBS and 2 of each variant. They sent me another email this morning letting me know that they couldn't fulfill my entire order but were holding 2 BCBS, 2 Coffee and 2 Northwoods for me until Sunday. Moments ago, they emailed me back saying they sent the wrong email and they actually only have 2 BCBS for me. It's pretty obvious they promised way too much to too many people and probably ended up giving my bottles to other customers. I easily could have wasted an hour trip if I believed either of their first two emails.

Thankfully, I thought the whole process was shady from the start and hit Total Wine in Claymont this morning. Ended up with 6 BCBS, 1 Coffee, 1 Northwoods and 1 Reserve. I didn't even know the Reserve was going to make it out of Chicago and Kentucky.

 

I found some regular at giant of all places. I pretty much gave up on getting any and found it there! One bottle limit.

 

Was just out at lunch- Regular Only at Kunda ($12.99/bottle) 2bottle limit and Regular Only at KOP Beer Outlet ($12.69/bottle) 2 bottle limit...nothing at Wegmans KOP.

 

No bc at kop Wegmans at all? Man we are really not doing our part there to buy as much bud light throughout the year as possible.

 

Didn't go, shut it down after scoring my 4 regulars on Wednesday, Capones is convenient when I'm at work but not really when I'm home.

 

Wegman's Warrington got 10 cases of regular. Also, Blue Dog Chalfont has '16 regular and barleywine just sitting on the shelf.

 

What was the price for that beer?

Cheers!

 

Wegman's KOP still has regular. Just bought a bottle for $10.99

 

It DOES help to regularly patronize a certain place. Much thanks to The Beeryard in Wayne for holding a barleywine and coffee for me! Plenty of regular around the area, but I feel fortunate to have snagged at least one bottle of these others.

 

I'm definitely trying haha.

 

Total Wine in Claymont had cases of Regular this afternoon 10.99 each less my 10% off e-mail coupon came to 9.89/ea. 3 per person.

 

Great call on Springfield, really appreciate it. Was able to pick up a few bottles of Coffee earlier today (today!), and I still could not be more confused. Not a place I would have thought of in a million years, and I only live a few blocks away. Do they regularly get rare stuff? Sounded like they had more left too.

For those still looking, I've seen regular, and barleywine to a lesser degree, at several places in/near Center City the last few days, and that's just stumbling around. In order of price since ~Sunday: Springfield, Food & Friends, 1 Stop (8th and Bainbridge), Monde, and VIP Market.

 

Big Top in Roslyn still had regular as of this afternoon, $45 per 4 pack.

 

Regular BCBS is a borderline shelf turd in town.

 

This year’s Northwoods, coffee, regular and barleywine, and ‘16 Prop are still on draft at Butcher Bar at 20th and Chestnut. $11 for 6oz.

 

Yeah seems that way, same with the BW too which I always enjoy (this year's especially). Pretty sure I'm the only one.

Nice, good looking out, although also kind of hilarious that you can walk two blocks and get 3x the volume of reg and BW for an extra $3-$4.

Anyone spot any Northwoods bottles anywhere in the city (or have extras they may want to part with)?
