Goose Island BCS is here

premium

BCS is being released starting this week, the first time since the A-B buyout. A ton more got made and it’s going out to 30+ states. The story has a schedule:

I haven’t been impressed with the GI offerings that have shown up in Virginia so far, but will definitely be looking for this.

Umm Ohio? Guess they are lowering the abv to 12%??

Not the first time since the buyout.. but ok..

Oh, my mistake. Story made it seem that way. I guess just most they’ve ever been able to make since/thanks to the buy out.

I thought this too.

Any idea when we can expect to see the cherry variant?

...Don’t think that’s on the calendar for actual release.

Festivals.. special events occassionally..

The article apparently thinks it might be a 2013 release though??

Lurking on the BA thread about this, I really can’t fathom what kind of desperate and sad things that go on over there.

Yep. Kinda whack

I poke a lot of sticks in the cage over there.



Either way, it’s exciting that the locals THEORETICALLY should be able to grab some BCS this year.. in a more acceptable quantity than in recent years.. (I got none in 2010 lucked out by walking into a random store with the 2011 release)
