    Today, River North and Mr. B's released their B-Side Avarice, which is a Belgian-style imperial stout aged in High West rye whiskey barrels for a year. It is pretty fantastic and is probably my favorite River North release to date. I picked up four bombers at Mr. B's and am currently drinking it on draft at River North. There are only 30 cases of bombers, which will only be available at the brewery and Mr. B's. I highly recommend picking up a bomber if possible.

    With only 30 cases I'm surprised they have a case limit

    29 cases now. I love all of River Norths BA offerings.

    I had it at River North today and it was fantastic! They had a 2 bottle limit and they were selling like hot cakes. The brewery was running thin, hopefully mr.b's got the greater amount. Definitely worth picking up a bottle.

    I was surprised at that too, as they usually have a 1 or 2 bottle limit for special releases like that.

    The owners at Mr. B's said that the 30 cases of bombers were split evenly between River North and them.

    I was at Mr. B's at 4 today (the release was at 3). They only had 3 1/2 cases left of the 10 they put for sale. They're hoarding 5 for the future.

    I'll add to the praise for this beer...picked up 2 today and had it on tap. Wonderful stout, well done River North!

    It is tasty. Picked up a couple at River North and then visited Mr B's for a couple more.

    Any chance they'll still be there on Tuesday? Planned on going to the release, haven't missed any of River North's bottles yet, they're delicious, but ended up being too busy to drive down from Boulder. If they're out I could offer someone a Uncle Jacob's Batch 2, CCB Maduro and New Glarus Wild Sour Ale or something similar?

    I doubt it, but I'll try to run by Mr. B's...if not I'd be willing to let one of mine go.

    Thanks much man, really appreciate that, I'll dig out out another beer or two from the fridge in thanks, along with the aforementioned ones (as long as those sound good to you?). I am going to be at the CS Batch 60 release on Tuesday, if you are too? Love you CO BAs, no one misses out here :grinning:

    Those sound great! I think I will swing by on Tuesday, promised a buddy I'd pick up a few Batch 60 to send him...what time you thinking of heading over there? And yeah, people here are on the ball, you gotta be quick!

    called this afternoon: mr. b's says they sold last 5 (in one shot apparently) this afternoon and brewery was down to last 2 at the time (likely none by now & none left on tap).

    Sounds good! I'll be there probably one beer before 5, ~4:15ish. Can stay a little later if you can't make it that soon, might be meeting another BA after the release though, not sure yet.
