I got to thinking about this post because I have some stuff sitting as well and I'm not too sure why. I am the only one that really is into craft beer in my family/friends circle. My sister and her BF enjoy it but not to my level which my level is still low compared to some of you all. With that said, I waited in line last year and got one of each of the BCBS and I believe the total about $120 as well. Not too sure I am going to do that again this year especially with it being a even more "rare" release. And I actually found a couple extra random 4 packs of the regular BC after the release. I have 2 12oz BCS & my Coconut left and I've been putting that coconut one off because I'm scared how good it's going to beSO jealous of the XOCO pick ups... I had a bit of a sinus cold earlier this week, so I actually haven't been in a beer store in about 8 days. It's a miracle. Wallet now a little fuller. I feel better. Maybe I'll kick this fun habit down a couple notches lol. Sitting at home sick, I realized I have a full fridge of random beers. Since there will be no XOCO this thanksgiving, I may have to bust through a couple stouts. Unsure how to go about this. Prairie Bomb, Parabola, Lagunitas High Westy, BA old rasputin from last years Black Friday release, Southern Tier Choklat, and a local brewery, Bosque, is releasing their Buffalo trace Bourbon barrel aged IRS tomorrow. That's not on top of random beers like Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest, which I thought was a good idea to buy just a couple weeks back. Even some Born Yesterday and SUcks is sorta collecting dust. I hate anything hoppy sitting for too long.
I usually hear something by now from a local beer store about Black Friday and GI BCBS. So far nothing. I remember dropping $120 on what amounted to a 12 pack of beer last year. I dont want them randomly dropping info expecting me to drop the same amount. It feels disrespectful. What about yall? Thanksgiving beer plans and/or black friday events?
My joint got in a couple cases of the Backwoods about a week ago and I ran up and got my two "per person". Stopped in a few days ago and they got quite a bit more in and now it's sitting out for the taking. Debating on getting more to hold on too. It's so good.My local spot had just a couple of the BB left so I picked up a pack. Looking forward to trying it out. Gonna be a nice way to close out a long week tomorrow evening
So I called the closest Binny's to me and asked if they had XOCO in and they said yeah. I asked how much because it's about a 40 min drive without traffic and they said a "healthy amount". I took a ride up there with my sister and they only got two cases and it was behind the counter and it was one per person. He gave me one and then I told my sister to snag one. Never had this before but I'm looking forward to it something fierce!
Also, anyone try that Watermelon Gose?! That sounds fantastic so I snagged one of them too. (I read a good review about that 24 carrot so I figured what the hell!)
