    Is there anyone in the north burbs that wants to share Uber/Taxi to an from? Leaving from Deerfield. Returning to downtown Chicago. We are in Group D. Looking to leave around noon for FFF and return 8:00 or so. Flexible with the times.

    Started last year around 8. The staff just opened the room and happily let folks in. People slowly started showing up and it turned out to be a nice crowd. If that doesn't work, then take over the lobby of one of the places, post on here, and they will come.

    Pipeworks just released a batch of Coffee Break Abduction Imperial Stout. Might have to snag a bottle to bring to DLD. Probably my favorite Stout.

    My beard wax guy says the hottest fix for keeping neckbeards dry are very large pretzel necklaces

    Was hoping to find some Abduction variants and also some Imperial End of Days on the shelf. Who has the best Pipewirks selection around there?

    Antioch Fine Wines has an awesome selection of Pipeworks but it's 1.5 hours away from FFF. I'm sure people who live closer to Chicago or in Chicago could point you in a closer direction.

    Can anyone point me in the direction of good Lambics available in Northern IL? I'd prefer local brews but am willing to branch out lol.

    I know a guy who is bringing a ton of RR. If you would like, PM me and I can give him your email, maybe you two can work something out.

    Just across the boarder, in Wisconsin.

    I can bring some NG if you would like to trade.

    I hear it is going to rain and I am very concerned about my pretzel necklace...does anyone else have any home remedies to protect the integrity of my pretzel necklace while not making me look ridiculous in the process?

    Wax? Not only will it protect but it will also greatly increase the value & desirability of the necklace. A no brainer if you want to sell any of them there. A nice accompaniment for some waxed hot sauce I must say.

    It will be cold so some sort of choc covering may work. Will also go well with many stouts.

    No thanks. I just stocked up on NG :slight_smile:. Was looking to try other sour/lambics.
