BCBS Black Friday - Chicago Suburbs

I wish Arlington Heights had received a second wave of BCBS

 

AH definitely did last week.

 

George's Wine and Spirits in Palatine has multiple cases of regular, at least three that I saw today.

 

AH Binnys had Reg. and BW as of 3:45pm today. Limit was 2 Reg and 1 BW.

 

Plainfield Binnys had at least 5 cases (reg) at the service desk.

 

Plainfield Binnys has regular as of Friday.

 

I picked up 2 bottles of Reg. for 9.99 at Jewel in Wauconda yesterday evening. The guy said he had ~ 3 cases

 

Would love to find Regal out in the wild. Found Rare, Coffee and BW in Joliet last week, still getting skunked with Regal...

 

Plainfield Binny's still working on 2+ cases, $9.99, limit three. Seems to be only for people in the know. The cases are at the service desk hidden behind a stack of Gumballhead (sorry, no Zombie Dust ).

 

How much at E&B? I am guessing 29.99 for regular and 49.99 for BW?

 

15.99 for each last time I was there.

 

AH had regular left yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised.

 

I ended up stopping by, because of your post. They're charging $15/bottle. I laughed. The clerk didn't seem too happy. PASS

 

Oh wow. I didn't even check a price. I had gotten enough already.

Hopefully your laughter will strike a chord and they'll drop the price!

 

sadly, with a new job this year I didn't have the luxory of driving around all of Chicago looking for this stuff so I just sucked it up and paid the $15 for 4 bottles..call it an upcharge to save time :/

 

I paid that for a few bottles before the whole second wave thing happened too. Not the worst price I've seen but was way happier at $10.

 

I hear ya..that's the limit I was willing to spend. One place by me was at $19 for regular, and $50 for regal..I have my limits.

 

Stopped at my Vernon hills Mariano's at 8am to grab some breakfast muffins for work. Walked past the beer and one lonely bottle was sitting on the shelf. I was so in shock I didn't even ask if the had more. I just ran to the register.

 

Reviving the old thread for this year. I was out of town for the release, anyone know of any places that have anything left?

 

Which suburb? (You might have more luck in the other thread though, as it contains a lot more relevant, recent info. https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/2016-bcbs-chicago-release-black-friday-beyond.461264/ )
