That is a nice release. We've come quite a way from a few years back. Hopefully this continues. I'll buy all of these (not the rogue of course) but the others.
If you`re reading this, there`s a 15% chance you`ve got a significant drinking problem. Get it fixed, get recovered!

Big thumbs up from me - some nice new additions and some returning favourites. Hopefully the BBCS actually makes it this time - apparently it cellars like a dream. Excellent price on the Ola Dubh too!

I seem to recall O'Hanlon's opting to no longer brew it because it was cost prohibative, but I haven't heard if another other brewer has picked it up.

Too bad the Konigshoeven Tripel and Quad didn't get picked up in either the fall or winter releases. Ditto for Fullers 1845, but the Rogue Yellow Snow is a great IPA and is seriously underrated on RateBeer. The thought of the Creme Brulee turns my stomach right now, but that's probably just because I'm sick as a dog.

Yes, it does. I've got some 07-08 BCS in the basement and it's fabulous. Looking forward to this, the Ola Dubh and the BrewDog.

Not too bad!! Finally I will have my Brooklyn BCS fix. It's too bad there's no Koningshoeven this year, as I am down to my last two bottles of the quad and triple. Does anyone know which agent brings those in?
