    Schaumburg Binny's going fast...from 5 to 2 cases while I was there...probably gone by now, or down to the last bit.

    This perhaps Hop Butcher's priciest offering. $21 and change out the door

    They were putting out another case just now. I didn't ask if they had more.

    What does one do with 4 -16 oz cans of 9.5% double orange milkshake ipa's? Asking for a friend.

    I always wonder how it works with Binnys for when beer like this drops. Are people just hanging out waiting? Does it appear on the shelves at a very predictable time? Are people following the Hop Butcher trucks around? Is there only a few 4-packs to begin with?

    The chase for this beer is pretty fascinating. (and perplexing)

    Basically, people follow social media to see when it's supposed to drop. When the news hits, the Hop Butcher drops are usually Thursday and Friday. So I will usually stop in Binny's by my work on lunch and grab it if I really want something. Also, if you follow Hop Butcher on IG, they were answering questions from people on where it was at.

    and I think they’re really consistent with the drops. If they drop at St Charles every Friday, chances are it’s within the same time frame...so I assume dudes just figure out when to stop by.

    Yeah, I figured out after a while that a couple places near my work always get their stuff Thursdays around 11. So I just pop over at lunch when they have a beer dropping that I'm interested in.

    Me too. I'm typically working from home, Crafted, the open bottle and Binny's are all within 5 miles of me. I can usually zip out whenever.

    2 years in a row it has come out the week before Christmas. People are off and have time to zoom around. Throw in the huge Untappd rating (in addition to the beer being a great version of the style) and I think it’s pretty clear why
