    Probably going to be pretty packed, based on my experience with many 'rare' beer tapping events in Chicago.

    IDK It might not be too bad. Hell almost no one showed up at emporium and they tapped like 8 bourbon counties and a bunch of other stouts.

    Safe to assume this has come and gone at Binny's on Grand?

    I just stopped at Skokie Binny's to look for BA Ten Fidy, and low and behold they had Abraxas. (No BA Ten Fidy still)

    Make sure you check your usual local spots. I was in my place of choice last night and they were pulling bottles out of the back. It made me feel like a jackass for waiting in line at Binny's.

    Not sure. I saw a guy walking around the store with one in his hand, so I asked an employee about it and he just brought one out of the back.

    Oakbrook Binnys got there's this morning. I called at 10:30 and they were already gone. Stopped by Willowbrook Binnys at 12:30. They told me they still hadn't gotten theirs but expected less than a case. He said most of the guys wandering aimlessly around the store were waiting for it to drop. Great beer. Like to grab one. But not sure its worth the trouble.

    Geesh. Is BA Ten Fidy supposed to hit this week too? I didn't realize that even saw distro here. Now I'm going to have to quit my job for sure.

    Printers Row has Abraxas for sale - paired with one of the other perennial beers they can't sell.
