Algonquin Binny's thread

Buffalo Grove has one that Tom runs: @northshorebeer

 

Damn it, are you kidding me? I figured it wasnt coming in today. I guess I should have just stopped in anyway.

 

That's Highland Park. I don't know if Ken's got one over there.

 

I have a list on my Twitter account with all the store feeds. Tomorrow I'll list them all on a new Great Lakes Thread- assuming they don't take it down as "pimping".

 

AHH! How did I mess that up - sorry Tom!

 

Any CW PM left? If so, how much?

 

About three cases of PM remain. As far as I can see, no Barleywine.

 

Awesome! Be in soon

 

Well at least there is some CW goodness left.

 

Got me a 4 pack, thanks for keeping us updated on your stock.

 

For anyone in the Des Plaines, Niles, and Morton Grove area - 2 places with good selections right near me are the Binny's on Milwaukee Ave in Niles and Prestige Liquors in Des Plaines. I spent some time talking with the owner of Prestige on Monday and he told me he frequently gets in Bourbon County. Besides that, I found a really nice selection of bombers there, occasionally they get some BA Bigfoot (just ran out last week - damn!) and I know there are still several bottles of Goose Island Madame Rose on shelf. I'll provide updates for anyone interested on a weekly basis

 

He frequently gets BCS? Something not quite right with that statement. I'll leave it there.

 

I thought the same thing... He did have 2 bottles of BCS in stock when I was there Monday that he kept in back. Unfortunately I was out of money or I would have bought them. He told me he will get more so I will take the man at his word until he proves me wrong. We shall see...

 

Do you have any chocolate yeti's in stock?

 

I grabbed an Espresso Yeti yesterday- didnt notice chocolate.

 

N

No chocolate

 

You are absolutely right. I misunderstood him when he said he gets it every fall but that he had some of the Madame Rose. My noob is showing

 

I rarely go there anymore because he tried charging like $10 for a KBS last year. Most of his prices are only slightly inflated, but some are crazy. The times I have been in there there was nobody that knew much of anything about anything. I remember being shocked they had such a good selection with no knowledge of beer. In their defense I haven't tried to talk beer with any of them in a few years, so maybe they have educated themselves on their business.
