    That i dont know. I'd assume full market in limited quantities, but that's just a guess.

    Well Chicago at least. Our downstate brethren are still in a wasteland. And even the suburbs get shafted a lot of times.

    Next up: Toppling Goliath? It's only a matter of time right? A man can dream...

    As someone who travels to Chicago on semi-regular basis this makes me happy in my tummy.

    darkness has actually been making it to chicago even after surly "pulled out" it wasn't too expensive for them to renew with the distro. I would assume darkness is a possibility this year with a full reentry.

    Somewhat true. 2 years ago, it was tapped around town quite a few times, but for some reason we didn't get any last year. There was a thread about it last year.

    Please tell Half Acre and Revolution to return the favor Minnesota‘s way!

    Any chance you'll have any surly for sale at your black Friday event I'd love to pick some up while I'm there.

    From what I read they will be bringing more to Chicago than they had in the past. I know it's going to be a mad frenzy when it arrives but this is one I will be glad to be a part of. Coffee Bender....I heart you!

    Its #1 according to beermenus. At least when it comes to unique US breweries that sell here. Number 1 and still growing now with Surly and Maine on our shelves, not to mention all the nano-breweries popping up all over town.

    Those 2 rarely stay on shelves in Chicago; Not sure how they could possibly make it two states away. Besides, if Pipeworks and Half Acre left, I would lose a big trade supplier to get my darkness. LOL.

    Not sure where you're located, but I've never had any issue finding either HA or Revolution on shelves.

    Same here. I see stacks of Anti-Hero and Daisy Cutter every time I stop by Schaumburg Binny's. 'Tis a glorious thing.

    It will be available in more draft accounts initially and select retail accounts for initial drop which hits next week.
