    I haven’t seen any posts that it’s out in the city - seems like a bit of a missed opportunity by TG here, not getting a coveted beer in a new format out before a big holiday. Though they’ll survive I’d imagine.

    Beer Cellar is saying next week. Not sure if that is a bad sign or totally unrelated for our local Binny’s

    King Sue still isn't even in Binny's system so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

    Just called a few binnys....niles, highland park, and des Plaines all said thursday/friday since it was not on truck today. Arlington heights said there is a chance it comes today since the distribution truck for that location didnt get there yet.

    I was also told probably Friday. And we aren't seeing much. Sounds like a few cases.

    I have heard that most places will get one case. Bigger binnys may get two.

    You can’t compare Chicago levels to other regional areas such as WI, which I’m sure is the “other regional thread” you’re referring to

    Wisconsin and Minneapolis.

    Everywhere except Iowa - that I have seen - are getting 1 case approx per store.

    No idea about in mass...

    I am friends with a store owner. He knows exactly how many cases came to illinois. There aren't many...just sharing right information to help people with their expectations. Wont be plentiful
