    I stopped on my way to work - Id never take a day off for a beer release, but today worked out that I could stop on my way.

    Using the flexibility that being a PhD student provides me...unfortunately also using the money that it does not provide me.

    I wouldn't be shocked if Binny's Lakeview had some still, but wouldn't be surprised if it were gone, too.

    Best bet is to find the places most convenient to you and start calling, then keep working your way further away. It might be frustrating (since most answers will be no), but you'll get that done quicker than waiting for responses here probably.

    I work from home. I have to use that to my advantage to make up for my introverted personality which prevents me from being "recognized" as a regular. :wink:

    Eye opening stuff, maybe I'll sneak that into my next contract so I can hunt the real whales (bourbon).

    At this point, I'd also try individual/independent type stores over Binny's - since Binny's advertised so much, Im sure most of the locations are sold out.

    I'll try on my lunch break. I bet Binny's in Schaumburg is all gone by now.

    Definitely. It sounds to me like most places aren't getting it today based on what I've inquired. I think we'll see this roll in over the next week or so to some smaller stores.

    Thought about going back through but the line was still pretty long and I didn't have anywhere to drop my bottles. Can't really complain though. I was about 40th and was out by 9:10.

    I stopped in Warehouse Liquors last night to see when they'd be getting it and the guy said they ordered it, but were told they might not get it or it might come later.

    Jewel at state and grand has it. No limit. After texting friends, I just said fuck it and bought a case. This way they can just pay me.

    Binny's Algonquin super easy, only 3 people in line at 8:30(about 15-20 at open). In and out, 1 4pk limit, then cruised over to Mchenry's Binny's by 9:30 and grabbed another 4pk.

    Did they have much left? Wondering if I could venture that way in a bit.
