    Binny's South loop has a lot of it right now. I don't have much knowledge of Angel's Share, as to when its distributed, and I have never had it, but I have only seen it 1 time on the shelf and it was gone in a day. Picked up a couple of bottles for myself. $16.99. Hope someone enjoys this post tomorrow, when they are open again

    Also, I almost hate to mention this just to find out its extremely rare to find here, but J.W. Lees Harvest Ale 2008-2011 is in stock as well, AND and their variations. $8/bottle and up.

    I didn't realize until I got home that brandy existed. Just noticed the bourbon printed on there real small. There were 2 rows though so it's possible the other row was brandy. You can call to ask.

    We have some Angels Share at the Binnys in Lakeview. Not sure of Vav's inventory at Lincoln Park.

    The Angel's Share that's around right now is Bourbon barrel. No word on Brandy.

    So, in your opinion, is it worth it?

    Honestly doubt it would be so good I would buy this regularly at that price. However I haven't opened one yet, so I'll let you know tomorrow.

    I had it on tap at bavarian lodge and it was f'n awesome, there is a bar in the burbs (check beermenus) selling it at 7 bucks a 12 oz pour, thats an ounce more at 10 bucks less! The savings add up it you intend drink more than a few.
