    Plenty of each there? Swinging by Beer Cellar after work.

    My wife is clothing shopping at Oak Brook mall so I was going to have her stop in Binnys Oak Brook and pick up a Fairy Basslet for me - apparently they've already sold out? Crazy.

    One of my regular PW sources didn't even get the Basslet.

    Jackson Tavern downtown will have Basslet on tap next week. They currently have BHA and Emerald Grouper on tap now for anyone interested.

    Thanks for the head up! If I don't find a bottle, I'll plan to hit that up next week.

    Is Fairy Basslet more limited than other fish releases? I'm still seeing Emerald Grouper on some shelves. Y'all about to make me put some clothes on and actually go outside.

    Possibly? It seems like it might be ... perhaps because its a new one they did a smaller batch? (no basis, just conjecture)

    I'm in the same boat...but I never even knew of Jackson Tavern until now. It looks like a great spot for a lunch since it's just a couple blocks away from work. Especially if they have stuff like BHA & Pipeworks on tap.

    Should've taken a pic of the tap list when I went there for lunch. Will do next time.

    I already went to their website to check out the list. Also saw Plead the 5th and Freedom of '78 amongst other things on tap. Some solid offerings.

    Tons of Lil Citra. If there was a lot of Basslet, I missed it. There were a few on the shelf, none in the cooler, and no cases in sight.

    Hoping I can get Basslet tomorrow, doesn't seem to be abundant as the other fish brews.

    I feel like a broke record saying this...but plenty of Basslet at Binny's Lincoln Park today around 5:30. About 4 cases were visible. I picked up one and a 4-pack of Lil' Citra.

    Lil Citra is exactly what I hoped. Another solid Pipeworks brew!

    Haha. I wonder the same thing sometimes, but then realize I'm talking about the biggest beer store in the metro area...it's not some secret place! I'm already realizing it's going to suck in 2 months when my kids aren't at daycare right across the street anymore and the store isn't as convenient anymore for me. :slight_frown:

    Yea, thats my problem at the moment, I can't get anywhere near there until the weekend. Its a great store, but just too far during the week thanks to traffic.
