    Skokie had it (1 per person) - I grabbed one a bit before 5p. There were 4 on the shelf when I got there, 1 when I left.

    I don't know if it was another drop or still being held for regulars, but I can confirm, VR and '14 Prop being around. I went to a store last Friday and was told they sold out in an hour the day before. I went to that same store today and chatted with another guy (who I felt I was on the same "regular" status as the guy from last week), and he offered them up to me.

    I don't know what is going on with these.

    It would be amazing to have these beers available in my area at a beer store. Instead I try my luck in the pit and see how it goes.

    Wonder if they have more in the back to put out. Also Imore curious to those who have been around Chicago for a while, for the VR and Prop 14 that got re-released, have they done that in the past with other releases or maybe are making room for this year's stuff where they store beers. My brother lives in Chicago and is nice enough to stop at Binnys LP for stuff after work. Got me 2 bcbs and 2 bcbbw for christmas with the second drop.

    The second drop thing seems to be a regular occurrence at this point but the vintage variants is new beyond what they do at the Lincoln Park Binnys on Black Friday (at least as far as I'm aware). I'm hoping that continues because it's a pretty fun surprise when it does but I'm a little shocked at the volume of these bottles they seem to be able to hold back each year.

    Orland Park Binny's looked to have a little over a case left when I went to pick two up earlier today. They also seem to have started getting flexible with the two bottle limit as they said I could grab a third bottle.

    Orland Park Binny's also had a case of 2016 Prop behind the service counter today. A friend of mine tipped me off about it and I was able to get there just in time to grab the last bottle. The Chicago area has been very fortunate this year with all of the Bourbon County available for purchase.

    Willowbrook still has a few cases of Rare on the floor. Also had FW Anniversary at the service desk.

    Not sure if it has been mentioned, but I heard from a source that an entire state got passed on getting BCS.

    I have a couple of friends in South Dakota that said they didn't get any this year.
