    Do these guys know how to party or what?!

    Grabbed an Arcadia Bourbon Barrel Aged Imp Stout yesterday, can't wait to try it. $7.99

    They still have a ton of the 50/50 Eclipse's too. Also per their twitter they have ruthless rye and bigfoot in 4-packs. I don't think I noticed any CW BBS left so I might have to try to find more of that somewhere else.

    Seems like CW BBS was a blink-and-you-missed-it thing. A guy at my Binny's checked the computer and said it appeared to be gone everywhere but POSSIBLY River Grove. Not sure if they send the stuff in waves or if that's the end of it for the season.

    Yeah I fortunately grabbed two 4-packs originally, but it looked like they had quite a bit so I figured it would last a few weeks. I guess I was wrong.

    Were you there around 11-ish Tuesday morning getting the Arcadia from the case with the help of their cigar guy? I may have passed you while I was browsing.

    Huntley Armanetti had a lot of CW BBS left as of last Friday---it was on the end cap of the craft beer display near the front door. Good luck!

    Cool thanks for the tip, I'll be out that way next week so will swing by.

    I was at Binny's around 3:30 so it wasn't me that you saw.

    Anyone looking for CW BBS, I am headed to Wisconsin this weekend and there is usually a ton at the local grocery store during this time of year. Let me know if anyone needs it, I can trade or you can just pay me back.

    For any CW release, try Amherst Foods in Amherst.

    Any chance you guys will be getting O'So's BB Night Train and Wee on the Lam?

    Since Deschutes is now distributed locally, anyone see any Obsidian Stout yet?

    Obsidian Stout isn't coming to Illinois until later this year - same for Inversion IPA.

    Just go to woodmans, they have a pallet of it and you can grab as much as you want, cheaper too.

    Cool thanks! Will stop by after work today. Probably better if the BN is gone, I need to stop spending so much money on beer.

    Picked up an Oak Horizontal from Binny's yesterday for either $14.99 or $15.99. Old Horizontal was one of the first beers that got me into barleywines so I'm hoping I enjoy this one as much or more.
