Beers like these aren't sitting on shelves. I wait a few hours one day every year, and I have a huge stash of barrel aged beers that are aging in my basement.

The wait today went by quickly. I was chillin with a couple friends. I brought a thermos full of warm apple cider and my flask. My guy bought bagels at the grocery store next door, so we got our grub on too. It was all good.


Like I said cool. Leash is close to my thought. I just don't have the passion for that.

I waited 5 mins at my local shop and was 4th on line and scored 9 bottles. I did ok. Fuck that lining up at 2:00 AM stuff though.


If you want all of the variants, including a crack at the '15 Rare, you wait in line.

Got a 2015 rare last week at prop day.

So, you had to go to two places, and you had to luck out in the lottery. That's not much different than waiting at one place.

Prop Day was an all day festival. The buying of the beer was a very small portion of it.

I understand, but you still had to get lucky in the lottery, and go to two different places. And you still didn't get the coffee or barleywine.

Woke up 8.30 Thursday and drove over to Costco when it opened at 9. Grabbed the bottle limit. Out the door by 9:05. Then drove over to Binny's and grabbed 2 more at 9.15. They were still handing out Barleywine but I declined.

Longest wait was in line to pay at Binny's.

Haven't tasted a beer yet in my life that's worth waiting hours in line for.

My buddy just sold a '12 Cherry Rye for $205 and a '13 Backyard Rye for $120. The '13 Proprietors, which I have, just sold for $250.

Maybe it's not so stupid to wait in line for a couple of hours.

There are probably a bunch of better barrel aged beers on the shelf at Binny's.

What do you suppose a well cellared '08 would go for?

Great to hear the OG is delcious this year. It's always my favorite of the releases and requires zero effort to buy nowadays. I'll be in Michigan during Thanksgiving so obtaining variants is out of the question. Though even if I was around I don't bother with the shitshow variant releases have become.

Last year, we happened to stop for dinner at the O'Toole's in Gurnee on the night they were doing the Bourbon County tastings about a week after Thanksgiving...I tried the coffee and the OG...the coffee was outstanding...the OG was fine. I'm looking forward to this year.

On a side note, the bar at Poplar Creek Bowl in Hoffman still has a couple of bombers of the Barleywine from last year left.

Yeah, I've actually seen some barleywines and regular BCS popping up pretty frequently in the last month. Must have been some leftover supply.

That's exactly what it is in this case...and no one wants to touch the Barleywine...I don't like it. One of the guys on my team does, but balks at the alcohol content while still trying to bowl.

I've been seeing BCS and Founder's KBS pretty regularly in Massachusetts and Vermont over the past couple of months.

It took MANY years, but these places have really ramped up their production of the barrel aged stuff. Goose Island has an entire warehouse of barrels stacked floor to ceiling on the west side now. It's nice to not have to fight someone over snagging a few bottles of Bourbon County, but at some point the market on this stuff is going to plummet.

I think it already has with standard barrel aged stouts. The way to really move a BA stout nowadays is to stuff it with flavoring/additives.

I really wasn't crazy about the regular last year, so I'm glad to read it's supposed to be less sweet and better balanced this year.
