    Where was it on tap? BeerMenus isn't showing anything.

    Franklin Tap. Not sure what is still on, but when I left around 6:30pm last night seemed to still be plenty left.

    Franklin Tap has been keeping their tap list updated on Untappd (which shows BA Expo on as of 2:34 pm yesterday). I think they stopped using Beermenus. No update there since April.

    I don't often call around to a bunch of different Binnys. But when I do it makes me unfairly hate Mozart.

    No dice yet at the Binny's in Wheeling (Lake County). I'm there pretty often, so I trust what he told me.

    Hearing people say this batch is considerably better than last year. Wondering if you guys agree with that? I have yet to have this years, so I am curious.

    Didn't have last year's. I've had two of this year's, and have two left to age. It's outstanding. I think I've said it before, but it's up there with BCBS for me. Right next to it, or maybe just a touch below.

    IMO better than any previous batch. Last year I did not like it cold but thought it was great once it hit room temp. This year is great the whole way through.

    I wasn’t a big fan of last year’s. I’ve had this year’s on tap twice and thought it was great. Enough so to accumulate two 4 packs worth.

    Big thanks to @4lokogod on Whole Foods having 4 packs this afternoon!

    I liked 17 better than 16 and to me 18 tastes like 17. :thinking_face: YMMV

    Bolingbrook Binnys had it and sold out of it. Got 2 cases. Not sure on any others.

    I'm looking around and I only know of the Bolingbrook Binnys and Iron and Glass. I think both are sold out.

    Binny’s STC said they didn’t get it yet.
