    But isn't it the deal in Illinois that a brewery (MillerCoors) can't own a distributor? That's why there's the tension in the first place, in the eyes of the ILCC, about Windy City and Two Brothers being (somewhat) related? There was the whole lawsuit stemming from AB trying to buy River North, right?

    Thanks to Vav and the LP crew for making the Westvleteren XII release a smooth one. Vav said he a lot and he was not kidding. Got there at 8:40 and in and out quickly once they opened up, with some other nice things I was looking for. Worth the drive in from the north burbs.
    Splitting mine with another BA. Happy to have the chance to try this - probably a one time deal. Is it worth the cost? I'll know after I open one up :wink: ! But I think I will be happy I picked this up.

    Don't you follow along ? :grinning: I've only said it about 53 times.

    And yes, here in Dekalb, we did get some. No lines either.

    As stated previously in the thread, Westy XII is a shelf beer in DeKalb. The good stores stock it next to CBS, Cherry Rye, Rare, and Vanilla. No lines ever.

    lol not at the stores I frequent....Who said that??
    Well, actually, there is one store with CBS left, but no rare or vanilla. Cherry Rye, don't know if its still on the shelf.

    Also, there are not "good stores", theres only one :grinning:

    But yea, Westy is on the shelf here in D-Town

    If he's real, which I find suspect, he probably does all his shopping at Inboden's Meats in DeKalb.

    :biglaugh:

    It would take a pallet each of M and PvW23 to get me to even walk in that store again.

    But yea, I'm not hiding...I'm down to meet up with anyone. I even tried to meet up with Breakingbad, but he has yet to hit me back :slight_frown: :slight_smile: LOL
    Like I said, come to D-Town, we'll pour some whales and I'll show you the longest cornfield you'll ever see.

    I offer the reward of $100.00 of my own money and a bottle of Rare from my personal cellar to the individual that can provide proof that PlayaPlaya purchased a brick of Westvleteren XII in DeKalb.

    lol who said I bought one??? I said I used to want Westy quite a bit up until a few months ago, but my tastes and knowledge has since changed. They're here though. I get the money and Rare if I take a pic holding a brick with a PlayaPlaya t-shirt on???? :grinning:

    While spending 5 years in Dekalb getting a degree in Engineering, I learned the city and the surrounding liquor stores very well. I befriended most liquor store managers and many knew me by name. With this I call 100% bullshit on this kid. He is a troll, and a very bad one indeed. CBS still on shelves, my god you are full of it. I will be ignoring him, i suggest you all do as well.

    Furthermore, this guy made this post in October ( http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/iso-bcbs-bramble-rye-ft-12-bcbs.46617/ ). You're telling me that you didn't get cases of Bramble? Lets say you did and you somehow drank them all. Then why not go pick up the CBS and trade that. Yet, you go for 12 BCBS.

    You must be new to the world of PlayaPlaya, 99% of us ignore him and his mounds of BS already. His crap is getting old.

    Funny because you guys have been guessing left and right as to where I get my beer, but nobody has even named ONE of the spots I buy from. Hint: As I told Breakinbad, my main spot I pickup from isnt even a store. (And cbs is in a store, but its not on the shelf, and you won't to buy any just because you ask for it or the manager knows your name; spend $1,000/wk for a year and then maybe they'll tell you aboot their cellar).

    What do I know though....I've never drank anything other than Coor Light :rolling_eyes:

    5 years?? I have to say, it helps to of been born and raised here and related to the few people that govern this tiny town.
