    All the talk about BCBS Cherry Rye has got me to thinking... Best widely available cherry stout? Is there one? Still kind of a noob so I'm not sure but I'm curious to try. Looks unlikely that I'll be getting my hands on that so I'm curious about alternatives.

    As always, thanks for the info in advance.

    Blue Point's Cherry Imperial Stout was worth trying. Not my favorite of their beers, and not a flavor/style combo I'm used to trying, but it seemed pretty spot on for what it was going for.

    Bell's Cherry Stout is usually available throughout the winter, but I think not this one because of the drought this year. I love the Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Cherry Stout too, comes out in Jan-Feb I think. Still doesn't answer your question, not totally readily available.

    Anything that is easier to get than the BCBS Cherry Rye is worth mentioning. I appreciate any and all info I can get. Thanks!

    Forgot New Glarus Cherry Stout. Barely a stout and more of a sour/fruit beer, but fantastic. Also a seasonal though, and harder to find, must go to Wisco or trade.

    Where you located? Might help us for distro or are you just going to trade for them?

    Cheers!

    I'm in Pittsburgh, PA. I know it says they're going to be distributed to PA but the guys who have been doing this a lot longer than I have seem pretty skeptical about it actually making it here.

    I talked to the owner of Buddy's on Carson earlier today and he said that he was trying to find out if/when he might have a chance to get some. Supposed to get back to me when he finds out.
