The Half-Acre thread (2018)

What are the chances of DDC lasting at Binny's or The Open Bottle till Thursay?

 

Grand location had a shitload of it.

 

Is DDC in all/most Binny's already, or just a few? I would especially be interested in Oak Brook, Downers Grove or Elmwood Park.

TYIA!

 

(630) 861-1810, (630) 705-9463 & (708) 456-2112 respectively. I did half the work. Now that's teamwork.

 

Downers had it in their usual HA pile.

 

I called Oak Brook and they don't have it yet.

 

Yeah, only one per person but there's plenty there

 

Just grabbed a four pack from Binny's on Grand and there was a still a lot there. I'd say your chances are really good!

 

When I stopped by the brewery to pick up my DDC cans I got my growler filled with Gravel Ghost to counter all the hops I've had lately. It might be old news to all you who get to the taproom more than I do, but that is one excellent stout! Check it out if you can. Perfect balance of chocolate and tobacco character, sticky and sweet with just enough boozy taste to remind you to slow down and enjoy. It's been a long time since I had a non-BA stout this good!

 

Second this. It really caught me off guard how much I enjoyed this.

 

Plenty at willowbrook binny's.

 

The week it came out they had a firkin with Abraxas style spices, so good. Between this, benthic, and salted espresso hugs, HA has been crushing some stouts lately.

 

I know others have said something similar, but I wanted to put some more positive vibes for the quality + quantity of DDC in cans. I hope this is what we can expect from a can release of BHA (multiple cases in multiple places, no hunting, etc...)

... I also hope they find a way to can the draft version from last summer rather than the bottle version.

 

About 10 cases of DDC at OP Binny's

 

100% agree. The draft version of BHA was possibly my favorite Chicago IPA last year. I think I had at least 3 growlers. Can't wait for the cans!

 

I heard one of the beer guys at Binny's mention to someone that DDC is going to be in the Beer Buzz email tomorrow and that's why they haven't put their stock out yet. So if you haven't seen it at your local Binny's yet, then check again tomorrow.

 

Picked up two 4 packs yesterday at Bolingbrook Binnys. No sign stating any limit that I could see, $15.99 as mentioned here. Maybe 20-25 4 packs on floor, not sure what's in back lol. Absolutely phenomonal beer.

 

That stack has been there since Tuesday at least.

 

Picked up a couple 4-packs at Binny's South Loop last night. Had around....15 cases, give or take.

 

Grabbed a DDC 4 pack at Woodman's in Rockford today for $13.99. Down side was it was 1 4 pack pere person. Enough for me to enjoy.
