    I also understand why people would want this, but I also think it's a bad idea. I'm in favor of "must be present to win." It's not like a raffle where you pay money to enter. It's a fun little free event.

    You gotta make choices. Do you want to go to GI's cool tasting event, or do you want to hang out at Binny's and maybe buy some cool beer? The idea is to get a bunch of us hanging out at Binny's early on a Friday, not come in, put your name in a hat, then leave.

    I understand everyone elses opinion....I just selfishly want to have my cake and eat it too :slight_smile:

    I would just HATE to miss out on the opportunity to buy some of these great beers!!! But i understand and respect if you dont want to allow us 10 a.m.er's to purchase anything after we leave.

    Regardless, I think its a great thing for the Chicago beer community and I salute the effort to make it a special day!!!

    Thanks again Vav!!!

    This may be the first documented case of a BA'er being reasonable about Bourbon County. Well done, sir.

    Yeah i'm gunna have to veto the name-in-the-hat-and-skeedaddle. So i guess there *is* an incentive to getting here early. With the new 10am session, i'm going to have to start pulling earlier than i thought.

    So you are saying it's now a normal Black Friday type of event. First come, first to choose. The question will be bottle allotment per person.

    Cooking a full turkey outside Binny's on Thanksgiving would be truly epic.

    I certainly cannot encourage the frying of a turkey in the parking lot publically.

    But you can't discourage it...

    Nope. Theoretically, you'd have to use something on it's own, like a propane turkey fryer.

    About how many bottles of each will you have (if you want to divulge that information)...I plan on going anyway, I just want to know the likelihood of getting something besides this year's BCBS

    If I didnt already have tickets to go see FSU/UF in Tallahassee on Saturday, I would be there for sure. Sounds like an awesome event. Good luck and congrats to anyone who gets the Rare!
