It's about 20-25 states. I don't think they're in Georgia though.

You should keep an eye out for them popping up here though. Sometimes you can snag a Parabola, Sucaba, or Anniversary after their releases:

Let us know if you have any luck. Also, are any variants available? If so, grab a Proprietor's (the coconut) and definitely the coffee. Grab as much as you can.

I managed a four pack of the regular BCS, a single coffee and a single Barleywine. They didn't get in the Rye or the Proprietor's. There was a limit of 2 four packs of the BCS and single bottles for the other two. For a small shop they actually got in a lot.

That's pretty awesome though.

I suggest aging at least 2 of the BCS and the coffee (which is amazing at about year 2), and drinking the Barleywine (it can come out thin if aged). Right now the BCS is a little hot, but still incredible.

I'm still looking for the Proprietor's and some more coffee (I was only able to get 1 coffee). I have 18 bottles of BCS though. Maybe I'll sneak in a trade with those and a Dark Lord for something.

Thanks for the info on the Barleywine. I was planning on sitting on the rest until at least next winter except for one BCS which is going to a buddy.

There's a place called Pizza Plant just outside Buffalo with BCS on tap right now. I might just sneak out tonight after the little guys asleep and try it out. We'll see what the wife thinks about that.

before i can recommend it, i have to ask... how do you feel about segregation? like hardcore 50s-style, "there goes the neighborhood" segregation?

What kind of beer are you two lovebirds discussing?

Alex, you Should hit up Atlanta Brewing company while you're in town, also there are a couple smaller breweries over in Decatur that are worth seeing.

The Brick Store is a pretty solid beer bar

Seconded Brick Store--really enjoyed that place, and the food was reasonably priced and really good.

Is anyone watching that show Brew Dogs? I guess there are a few of them now, but I've just seen the first two episodes. If you haven't seen it, it's not bad. Two dudes from Scotland visit American breweries and find a weird way to make their own brew. The first one was in San Diego, and they focused on Stone. They checked out others in SD, and ranked their top 5. All the while they're working on some concoction where they consult with the brew master, get a sense of the local environment, and infuse things that are native / symbolic of that area. For the second episode, they went up to San Francisco and Anchor Steam was featured.
