    The Binny's in both Bolingbrook and Naperville got it in yesterday and were sold out by about 4 PM, so I struck out there.

    I heard an interesting story about the Binny's Lombard intentionally delaying their release until noon on Saturday in correlation with DLD. I don't want to spread false rumors, but from what I know, this is intentional for some reason.

    Binny's Niles got it in this morning. Only a few bottles left when I went there about 20 minutes ago.

    I feel good about going to liquor stores at 10:45 AM.

    Damn it, I remember when I could walk in after work taking my time and grab a few bottles. Now I do not even bother searching after work because I know it will already be gone.

    Too bad it hasn't made it to Castle Vav yet. Nice running into Vav there though. He has some goodies there for sure- specially for us out of towners who are here this weekend!

    Moreno's on 26th had it Friday afternoon. Also still some Sucaba on the shelves, and the 16 Anniversary Ale as well.

    If anyone wants to pay an obnoxious amount and support a store who charges WAY too much, I just left my bottle at Go Grocer for 23.99.

    Noble Grape is also charging $22

    There is a reason the "g" on their sign is so small.

    I drove to Berwyn to pay $20 in rush hour traffic and lost 90 minutes of my life....this is what craft beer has come to. Now I know what rich suburb kids feel like when they're trying to get some smack in the city
