    Fairy Basslet is dangerously crushable too! Trying to take small sips as the 9.5% is very well hidden.

    PW said on the last page that there's no special delivery this week. They'll get their shipments when they normally do.

    Got a fairy basslet (and coffee abduction and lil'citra) today at Binny's Grand no problem. Very psyched to try the fairy basslet tonight.

    Was surprised by the huge stacks of Lil Citra at Binnys on Grand. Didnt think it would be as available as it is. Obviously PW has some quality hop contracts if they are able to make this much Citra beer...

    Isn't Binny's LP officially the biggest liquor store in the world or did I hear that wrong?

    I don't know, but it's gotta be up there. I'm not sure if there is an official measure of that stuff or not.

    Looks like LP has 50k square feet based on this blog post from the recent past
    My google powers revealed this place has 100k square feet and was recognized by Guiness a few years ago as the largest. Although it looks like the store has been recognized for something else entirely based on the article :flushed:

    My understanding was that once Binny's LP is completely set up in that location (they're still setting certain areas up) it would be the largest in the world. But again, I could be wrong.

    This Fairy Basslet is superb. What a great addition to the fish series. I'm going to have to pick up 3-4 more.

    What are they still setting up? I thought it had been done for awhile.

    Heading into MKE tomorrow via 294. Binnys Niles looks pretty close off the highway. Should they have fairy basslet and lil citra if I swing in? Anything else specific I should be looking for that's out now besides NvU and Lizard King?

    Not so much setting up as further utilizing the space they have. My buddy told me they are still planning to expand the beer selection further. But yes, they are mostly done at this point.

    So Im drinking my fair basslet and I've got to say I'm a bit disappointed. I'm getting a real catty aroma/flavor from it that I know you can get from citra hops, but its something I've never experienced before. Anyone else getting this or am I crazy? Its not bad - the beer is still great, its just throwing me for a loop.

    Pipeworks also released Coffee Break Abduction yesterday. I'm not sure how that Binny's works but they might not put the Fairy Basslet out, you may need to ask for it from the back.

    My Binny's in St Charles hadn't received their Pipeworks yet for the week so it depends on when they hit the Niles store. I was able to nab one at Whole Foods Wheaton this evening

    Does Binny's LP have a limit on them?
