How many of these will get cancelled before release date? I can't remember if it was the base Barleywine or the Reserve Barleywine that got scrapped last year.
I see there's not a "plain" barleywine this year, which is disappointing. It's been better than the stout some years IMHO. There's the BCB Wheatwine which could be similar and then the coffee barleywine. Coffee stout can be good, coffee barleywine makes me hesitate a little bit.
For whatever reason Oregon got shafted last year.. we got Stout and Coffee only, none of the other variants. The year before we got Stout, Barleywine, Coffee and a rare variant that I don't remember, plus the large format bottles of Reserve Stout and Reserve Barleywine. We won't get the proprietors of course since that is Chicago only. I'd be shocked if we got the vanilla and orange as well. Also, I'll be flying home from the East coast on black friday so I'm going to miss it all anyway. I have started seeing bottles of base BCB Stout show up on bottleshop shelves but none of the variants.
