Chicago Stout Releases (2018)

No, that place is great. What did a 4 pack sell for at Rev?

 

As far as I know just about everywhere in the city has meters or permit parking within a quarter mile of a north side El stop!

 

If anyone is looking for cbs on tap lincoln park binnys taproom has it

 

Ryeway to heaven? Or the ultimate would be Deth, Cafe, Cherry and VSOD!

Only BA stouts for my kids this year.

 

As far as I can remember it's kind of always been that way. You end up paying a few more dollars in the wild versus the Brewery release where they're putting all that money in the coffers.

That being said I usually had only seen a buck or two variance on the bomber pricing. I guess more ounces more money.

One of the reasons I go to the brewery releases, more bang for your buck. That way I can use the money I saved on tap pours. Lol

 

Seen it in the city at all? Would like to grab a 6 pack.

 

Anybody seen this in the western burbs yet. Villa park Lombard area? Help a brother out with a tip

 

Yeah I’d really love to grab some at Binnys. Seems most small shops are breaking up the sixer in the southwest burbs

 

Binny’s Plainfield $11.99/6

Oh, and it doesn’t suck. Maybe not as good as High Westified but at that price holy crap. Freakin’ awesome BA stout at everyday prices. Lagunitas really making it hard to justify some of the stuff that costs 3x - 5x per ounce. When 2 sixers of this are less than one bottle of CBS .....

 

The 4th could be a mystery from all the BA classics and could include small batches

 

I wish some of these big BA stout brewers would release outside of stout season. With all the viable competition I predict some will have to start doing it- zig when everyone else zags. Most of this stuff is being aged 6 months by the consumer anyway....

 

Totally agree with this - as well everyone should recognize that as fact.

Still, I am surprised that there are so few BA stouts available when Pumpkin beers are being released. I feel like If a Pumpkin beer came out, someone should have released a BA stout.

 

That's what air conditioning and fireplaces are for. Lol

 

I get hop fatigue in the summer nights sometimes. That’s when pulling a 12oz KBS out of the cellar comes in handy.

 

Not saying you’re wrong, but I have no idea what percentage of people age a BA Stout. I feel confident that the percentage is higher here on BA than in the total landscape. When I look at early Untappd checking, there are plenty of bottles being opened.

 

So if BCBS Black Friday happened on July 3rd we'd have a bunch of shelf turding BA stouts? This weather stuff is a dated fallacy. You don't have to drink it in the summer. Tropical IPA don't hold up for 6 months so that makes sense, but BA stouts where people load up on as much as they can buy is being done because they age them? Hell, maybe releasing BA stouts in the summer will cut down on hoarding.

 

I keep my place pretty cold in the summer and still NEVER want a stout. I didn't start getting excited for this shit until at least midway through October, maybe later.
