Quoted from SirScott:Enjoy it while you can. It sounds like it is going away.

If you really like it you can stock up, there is a staggering amount of it in the market. I bet I've seen over 150 cases of it this week in the Twin Cities.
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Black Friday BCBS acquisitions[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Nice haul. I saw a grown man throw a fit in a store this morning when they didn't have the variant he wanted.
I got to try them all, and an eight year vertical of regular Bourbon County, at a private tasting last Monday. The Double Barrel and the Wheatwine were both very good, the rest were OK, and I did not care for the Mon Cheri or Cafe de Olla. This year's regular Bourbon County is also very good, definitely the only one I would purchase at retail price.
Quoted from Bax1:Some great beers here

I love Double Two Hearted, it's better than Hopslam in my opinion.
Quoted from meSz:2.40 per that’s a nice deal! Did they have different boxes? Sometimes they will have different boxes with different variants.
Keep an eye out for the German beer Advent calendar at Costco
Just the one box of Belgian's was all I saw today. They put the advent calendar boxes out like a month ago here. From the looks of it they went pretty quick, haven't seen them since, not sure if they will be getting another drop of them or not.
Quoted from goodtimes:Anybody got some Hopslam they would sell me . I didn't stock up , and would like to take a couple over to my pops house to tweak and fix up some s hi t on his LAH !
[quoted image]
You can't get more Hopslam in Michigan? Every store in Minnesota still has huge stacks of cases, lots of 5 liter mini kegs around too.
I got to try all of the Bourbon County 2022 variants today. As always, they were outstanding. Here's how I ranked them:
Barleywine
30th Anniversary
Biscotti
Original
Coffee
Proprietor
Sir Isaac's
Quoted from Green-Machine:Hey Beergut! Miss you and the bourbon crew
[quoted image]
Aka Green-Machine
Cheers! Are you drinking that right now? I sell Toppling Goliath and haven't seen that beer in about a year.
Quoted from Green-Machine:No…. It’s been in the fridge for quite some time. It was my last one so I saved it. I have some much older beer that that ……..2013

Enjoy that vintage Fat Tire, they are rolling out the re-brand, and they didn't just change the label this time. It's no longer an Amber, now it is a Golden Ale.
ft (resized).jpgQuoted from TheShaft:Belgian strong dark ale. Very comparable to the Westvleteren 12, but way easier to find and much cheaper.

Fantastic beer! I happen to sell St Bernardus. Last year some representatives from the brewery and their US importer were in town for the Craft Brewers Conference. We had an event at a local bar where we opened mags of Abt 12 that had been aged for 10, 6, and 4 years, and had fresh Abt 12 on tap. It was quite the experience.
Quoted from meSz:I've shipped beer numerous times and never had an issue. I always used FedEx (Don't use USPS as it's a gov't entity and is illegal). Instead of taking a package to a FedEx location I always hand it to a driver. Be surprised as to how many trucks are out there. Drive around your town for 5 min and you'll see several. This way I am never asked what's in the package and the fewer times your package is handled the better.
I've shipped hundreds of bottles of alcohol and I have always used USPS. You are fine as long as it is packed well. Remember, USPS has to have a warrant to open a package to inspect, private shippers like FedEx or UPS can open for any reason they see fit. Shipping alcohol is also against ToS of the private companies.
Quoted from Grandnational007:It’s certainly hit saturation in my AO as well; you can grab >5 years back from lots of places here, and they are marked at $11.99. Makes tastings with friends convenient as hell, and I don’t have to stand in line when they release. I haven’t even bought my usual 4 of any current year, because there’s no rush. I laugh seeing the variants marked at $40 (which are usually not as good as the standard expression), that are covered in years of dust.
That said, bcs is still one of my favorite beers year after year.
Eagle Rare and Angel's Envy variants can still be found in stores here, and there are heaps of the other two variants and regular BCBS. A lot of stores are passing on their allocations due to lack of interest year over year. It's expensive inventory with short window of interest and a long shelf life (for beer), and stores are tired of the distributors attitude of "you bought it, it's your problem now" that comes with these products.
Quoted from Budman:Great new low calorie IPA here in Ohio. If you’re a woodrail/ EM pinhead, you have to have this in the fridge, especially if you own Universe or Rocket Ship
[quoted image]
Curious to what makes this low calorie?
