My favorite hole is tapping their Blvd Choc tonight for the Beer Dork club. I'll give it a shot.

We discussed this phenomenon today at work.

This is not a beer for beer nerds. This is a beer that beer drinking guys buy for their non-beer drinking women. How can we make women that don't like beer, drink beer? Add chocolate to it, and release it right before Valentine's Day.

Profit.

I'm in line with people that look like they can't spell "craft beer" let alone enjoy the bottle of Chocolate Ale they are waiting on.
Someone confirmed that it's on the shelves in Omaha, so I'll get a bottle or two this weekend and avoid all the craziness... and if I like it enough, there will actually be more available. I picked up a couple bottles of Young's the other night and wondered if all the people going crazy for Chocolate Ale even know other chocolate beer exists...

I'm no aficionado, but I don't find the two all that comparable.

I'm good for a taste of the Blvd and recognize it as a superior beer, but the hype avalanche is far greater.

Where can I get some Blvd Chocolate?

Check your rep. Had a buddy that tried to get it shipped up here from that location.

Next Door Pizza will open up sales to customers tomorrow. Tonight is the preview for their Beer Doork club.

No, it's actually a very unique beer that also tastes good. It fires my beer nerd synapses.

Just got back from The Well. I like the Chocolate Ale it's good to see this city excited about something.

Bearcat 01-31-2012 07:30 PM

Got mine... LMAO

$8.50/bottle (if you're asking for yourself though... uh, $25? :D )... a friend in Omaha was going to buy a couple of bottles and asked if there was a limit. The person there said they still had a couple of cases left, and the manager let him buy one of them. I think we're going to split it between ~4 people.

I've seen some criticism (if you want to call it that) from out of towners, saying they have plenty to choose from because no one cares, while KC sold out before noon... the Hy-Vee person in Omaha even said they've sold several to people who were turning around and giving them to people in KC.

Thanks, man! I thought I saw it there last week, actually, but I think it might have been last year's?

I picked up a fifth of Buffalo Trace Bourbon last weekend when I was up there. Crazy what's available just 45 minutes north of me that we can't get in Arkansas.

They get the Goose Island Brewery (among many others) as well, which we can't get down here South of the Border. I really wanted to try that Pepe Nero (holy shit the packaging on that whole series is sexy), but I didn't spring for it.
