No, I probably won't have time :). It might be kind of a fun event though, and I hope everyone gets a fair shot for their effort. The Westy thing was handled so well.

Was there any confirmation of what the price is for the BCBS?

So you're leaving the bar, grabbing a slice of pizza and sleeping on the sidewalk, in order to get booze the next morning?

I made a comment about this on Facebook, but does the price of this really matter? I truly believe that the price could be $99/bottle and there would still be a lineup on Friday morning.

Sure there will be a line, but based on that price point, I probably won't be in it. I certainly liked the normal version, but not nearly enough to pay this much.

So what's the deal with New Holland's Dragons Milk? There were bottles in Pickering of which I grabbed a couple, but it's all gone and isn't in any other stores? Is more coming?

Yeah more than likely. It happened with jacobins this past summer.

really would have been nice if they could have gotten a few more cases and sent this to a few difference areas.. even if they just settled for the regular BCBS so that there would be more of a supply

After buying a case of the Rodenbach vintage, I'm ok with missing this release. One day I'll try BCBS, but for now I'll stock up on dragon's milk :)
