Damn... yeah, not really worth that kind of hype these days.

I edited my post after you quoted me, but they're 16.9 oz bottles across the board this year.

Outside of the Chicago exclusive stuff, you're probably better off getting it outside of the Chicago market. Similar to Boulevard, there's bottles of Chocolate, Saison-Brett, and Love Child just sitting on shelves up here.

Crazy, but at this point you'll probably be disappointed if you do eventually find it. Truth be told though, I fell in love with it back when there wasn't as much of on abundance of quality big IPAs. These days you have so many more choices that you probably won't see what I see in it. The Calling is every bit as good.

So the BBQ is out then? I've been asking about it for weeks and nobody can tell me anything. I google it every day and come up with nothing and they've never posted anything on Facebook. I want to squirrel away a case. Moving outside of Boulevard distribution has been rough.

The one time I had it, it was more like a butterscotch liqueur than beer. We really tasty, though.

Lucas had BBQ last night. I picked up two bottles.

I've been to all three Randall's locations in the last 36 hours and none of them have it.

Was able to finally pick up some 90 Minute. Usually all they have is the 60.

Parish Brewing Company in Broussard, Louisiana had a release party today for their Grand Reserve Barleywine. Also available for purchase at the party was Ghost in The Machine, their super popular Imperial IPA. Both are high quality beers, but the Ghost in the Machine is probably the best beer I've ever had from Louisiana. From what I understand, they originally only released it once a year, but they've recently been doing more batches. I hear there has been minor consistency issues since they've been putting it out more regularly, but I'm willing to bet it's still pretty damn good.

I didn't hear about the release party until tickets were already sold out. In a panic, I called the brewery, and the guy working told me I should be able to come in Monday morning and get at least a couple of four packs of Ghost, and a couple bottles of Grand Reserve. He also mentioned that they didn't make enough Ghost to ship to stores, so really the brewery is the only place I can buy it. It's an hour and a half drive, but I'll be making it Monday morning to try and get my hands on both beers.

Also, if any of you are ever in Texas and see Yellow Rose IPA from Lone Pint brewery for sale anywhere, do yourself a favor and try it. It's wonderful both on tap and from the bottle.

Nice. Jealous. As a frequenter of SEC boards (tigerdroppings), I'm extremely familiar with Ghost's reputation and hype. Congrats and enjoy!

Of all the Firestone Walker taps available this weekend, Viaje De Roble is my favorite. Mezcal barrel aged, definitely hit my sweet spot.

Yeah, most of the BBQ I've had in recent years came from Omaha and I've seen a bunch of Chocolate Ale and others up there before.

That's happened once with BCS, and it was BCS coffee... found 3 of them at a Hy-Vee in Omaha... hadn't ever seen one and haven't seen one since though.

if i have the 51st beer on this list will i die? all the before you die stuff. my luck it would be a jerk chicken beer and id choke on a chunk of grizzle.

Going near where it's made next week. Something I can find at Specs in the Woodlands or try harder than that?

This is my first BCS release since I've lived here and I guess my "insider" spot isn't so insider. Homebrew friend told me to check out the Walgreens near me on Black Friday. Reading online that people start gathering at that Walgreens at midnight for a 10 am BCS selling. Yeah, **** that. It's a ****ing Walgreens. If I don't fall ass backwards into a couple bottles, I'll probably just wait for some kegs to get tapped.

Limited beer releases can be the absolute worst.

And on the one day a year I don't want to leave the house.

I'll most likely get plenty here in KC if anyone is looking for extras and has something interesting to trade for it.
