    Anyone know of anything "special" going on this Saturday? I'll be downtown needing to kill some time while my fiance attends the Ditka Dash. Any BCBS variant tappings?

    Goose Island Clybourn is putting them all on tap on Friday, not sure how long they will last but might be a good idea to go there and see.

    Also I think the South Loop Binny's will have them all on tap Friday, also worth a shot.

    there's a 50/50 half of chicago will have regular BCS on tap. Last year the week after Thanksgiving it was on tap at every restaurant & bar I walked into (granted I frequent beer bars and beer centric restaurants but ya know....)

    Just wondering where you heard about Clybourn? I know they're doing the ticketed tastings.

    the last couple of years they've thrown at least one BCS type thing on tap. Last year it was regular and year old coffee (maybe something else) and the year before was King Henry and a few others.

    God Damn! If I didn't have to attend a wedding at 6pm on Friday I'd be sitting at Clybourn all day.
