We are having a Temptress bottle share among other things.

I'll have a few dammit jim's watching football and basketball tomorrow. Then wine with dinner.

Originally the plan was to be in Giddings with my mom's side of the family where there would be no drinking. But my son came down with 102.5 degree fever around 4:30. With my cousin having two young kids thought it best to not bring my family around them. Sucks too because my parents were going to take the kids to their house for the weekend.

Now I don't get to talk trash to my tsip relatives about the basketball game or the general chittiness of tu football.

The specs at westheimer and kirkwood normally has a good selection. The heb at that corner usually has good beer too

How widespread is the BCBS distribution - is it just the major cities? I'll be in Midland on Friday morning and won't make it back to Austin until the evening, so I'm guessing I'll miss out this year.

Yeah I suspect midland won't be getting any bcbs. Bryan/College Station is apparently only getting 3 cases of bombers total for stores. So specs and the heb's each get one case.

If any of you B/CS homies need some BCBS just give me a shout. I'll be in Austin this year and don't mind hitting up a few stores for you guys. Planning to get 6 bottles myself and call it a day, but I can do that at one store. So, I don't mind going to a few others and laughing at the neckbeards scrambling for Rare.

Jock, I forgot to mention I saw a couple pictures of an absolutely ridiculous drop that Buckley received. I believe it was only for military personnel. You may want to inquire about that and buy it all.
Thanks for the heads up I'll have to check it out. Was it just BCBS, or were there variants? I messed with flight karma yesterday and got bit. I was originally supposed to fly out of DIA straight to DFW and get in at 11 last night but got my flight switch to fly out of COS through IAH to get into DFW at 8. Flight out of COS was delayed for a ****ing seatbelt light being out, so I missed my connection in IAH. Then, the last flight of the night was delayed 1.5 hrs so I didn't get in to DFW til after midnight.
TLDR, **** YOU UNITED.
So Strat, I'll stop by in the next month sometime for that wine checker and your bottles.

Happy Thanksgiving my fellow beer nerds! We'll have probably open a bomber of Yule Shoot Yer Eye Out or a Fra-Gee-Lay.

Hope your kiddo starts feeling better, LA Fours.

Jason, just made a trip to Midland HEB for some last minute items and they had a good selection of Goose Island represented. So I'm holding out hope they might get a case or so. Highly doubt it but I'll still check there tomorrow and see.

Happy Thanksgiving y'all.

My dad wants me to fill his growler up tomorrow (got it for his birthday in April, from one of his favorite breweries). Is there a place in Austin that will have both growler filling capability and some BCBS?? Maybe a Whole Foods?

Do I have to wake up early or something? Never done beer Black Friday.

Don't know about growler fills, but getting BCBS in bottles shouldn't be an issue regardless of when you wake up. Arbor Walk Specs is getting 60 cases, my local HEB is getting 20... Should be readily available.

The rest of the labels have been approved, we'll probably see regal, barley wine, and coffee soon.

Happy Thanksgiving Ag's!

HoustonSpecs Downtown has posted that the regular BCBS will have a limit of one case, and a limit of 3 bottles on Rare. WTF! When questioned, the beer guy said they were sent 'decent' amounts, so it must be legit.

If any of you Time folks could spare a couple of bottles of regular BCBS is appreciate it. I'm going to miss the release unfortunately.

Never a bad idea. I got started early with some Windlass.



Happy Thanksgiving, folks!

Depending on how things end up here, I may take you up on that.

What's the cost for a bottle of rare any ways?

I think it's legit, this is a picture that specs Twitter page posted

How long should I trust a crowler of IPA for? In Bend this weekend, would like to get some boneyard stuff to take back to Texas at Christmas.

So no 12oz bottles for BCBS this year? By switching formats I'm guessing that the price/oz will be jacked 2x or more. A four pack for $18 was reasonable. How much are the 500ml bottles going to be?

Yep... Like 9 bucks. Someone did the math on Talkbeer. I want to say it's like 30% more this year.

So not even bombers at 22oz, but a tall boy in glass. 16.9oz.

Willing to pay for your time for anyone who snags an extra bottle of Rare tomorrow in the Tine. Anyone??

Dragon's Milk and FQ Temptress so far. Edge slightly to DM as it's richer and can actually taste the bourbon. Both mighty fine, though.

I didn't think FQ was bourbon barrel aged? Just temptress with chicory coffee.

I love BCBS but I'll guess I'll only get a couple this year (if I'm able to get some at all).

If I'm hankering for a BBS I've found that a teaspoon of bourbon in a good imperial stout (I prefer Narwahl) is a decent poor man's substitute.

My mistake, it's the coffee beans that are barrel aged. Explains why it's not so strong. Still, FQ Temptress is good but not quite to the level of Brash's Cortado

I need to make a trip to the tine soon so I can try some Brash.

Popped open a bishops barrel 6, the imperial stout. Pretty good. Very mellow, totally wouldn't guess 13%.


Regarding BCBS, it's weird the GI website still says regular stout is in 4 packs. And it's an updated website with the new bottle look and 500ml variants.

Rahr and sons 14 BBA winter warmer and a 14 BCBBW for me this evening. I had the 13 Rahr last year and remember enjoying it. This years sucked. Extremely thin with very little if any bourbon.
