    I was able to grab one at Binny's St. Charles last year. Not sure when they are coming this year.

    Buckledown on November 22 will be releasing Significant, their BA Imperial Stout clocking in at 11.5% in 4pk cans!!!! for $25. I'm a sucker for BA cans. I may have to stop by and check this out.

    Buckledown has solid beers that they distribute, but I think they are very under the radar when it comes to brewery only releases.

    Hard to tell. My understanding is that the keg going to Peoria for the event on 11/30 is the only CBS keg for the entire IL market outside of Chicagoland. So maybe not...

    I got the triple Barrel Baptist and the Baptista last night at Glen Ellyn. Gave up on Abraxas. It has been disappearing from Binnys at a hysterical rate, and is also a goddamn 25 dollar non BA beer. Id have grabbed one if it was there when I went though.

    Baptista was tasty at FOBAB but it tasted a tad thin. That could be by comparison though so I'm looking forward to focusing solely on that bottle when I open it

    I can tell you guys that Kentucky Mountain from One Trick Pony this year is unreal!

    Huge chocolate and barrel notes - but not overpowering. I'm getting bits of vanilla, tobacco, molasses, and toffee as well. I have bottles of 2014-2016, and 17 is by far the best batch I've had.

    It's tapped now, but the bottles will be released next week. I'll make a bold statement and say if you blind taste tested me with this and BCBS, I couldn't tell the difference.

    I love One Trick Pony and will re-visit in the next month or so. Thank you for the reminder.

    Be sure to get some Kentucky Mountain on draft and some bottles to take home. This batch is to die for!
