    Approximately 0. They don't have their government issued ID card that proves proper Chicago residency. So they cannot be sold Prop. We solved all this last year.

    Local (Cleveland) just released bottle prices.

    $11.99 Reg
    $14.99 WW and CBW
    $22.99 Nilla, Bramble, MO

    I’d think Binnys would be $1 more + $24.99 prop and $28-30 Reserve?

    Does Sheffield’s do full pours or are the BCBS offerings only available in smaller 5oz pours?

    Seems reasonable/possible that they would raise prices by $1 or more.

    Binny's is in it for the $$, so VERY possible. I liked the pricing last year at Jewel a little better:
    ...*2017 JEWEL Black Friday Prices*...
    $9.99 Bourbon County Brand Stout
    $12.99 Bourbon County Brand Barleywine
    $12.99 Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout
    $21.99 Proprietor's Bourbon County Brand Stout
    $21.99 Bourbon County Brand Northwoods Stout
    $23.99 Bourbon County Reserve Brand Stout

    You think Jewel isn’t trying to make money?! Sure, they’re cheaper than Binny’s, but that doesn’t mean they’re not in it for the money as well. It’s very possible/reasonable that both Jewel and Binny’s (and other stores) increase their prices by $1-$2 per bottle. That’s the way things are.

    Goose doesn’t let anyone (so far as they can control) post prices in advance. I fail to see how this is of any benefit to them....

    Yeah, @croush , I understand they are all for-profit companies and they could all increase prices per bottle $1-$5 and still sell them all. I'm just hoping and crossing my fingers that they all stay the same price as last year on the same bottles.

    How much of a shit show will it be at Sheffield’s or O’Tooles’s tomorrow? I’m thinking of going to one of the two and kind of wanna know what to expect as I’ve never been to either on Black Wednesday for the release.

    Not Chicagoland but Total Wine in Lexington KY is selling Reserve at 25.99 this year. Some stores had it last year from 22-26 so it seems in line with last year here.

    I really wish Binny's would at least post prices *before* people camp out overnight. Especially since LP is an all-or-nothing deal.

    Judging from the past, Sheffield's will be a total shit show, while the other places (O'Tooles and Fountainhead at least) will be less busy. I wouldn't be surprised if Sheffield's has more to handle the craziness though...

    I used this in a seperate thread recently, but it's 100% applicable here.

    My experience was with O'Tooles a couple of years ago. We arrived at 10ish at night and were able to try all of the beers they were offering. They didn't have all of the variants, but had a vertical of the past 4-5 years and that year's Prop as I recall.
