    My local grocery store has quite a few cases but holy smokes they are charging $19/bottle.

    No thanks.

    It would be 14.3% from GA as GA has a cap of 14%. They were supposed to receive 13.8% but that allocation was already sent elsewhere by accident. Can read more here.

    A buddy if mine just posted on FB (with pic) he got a rare and coffee at Binnys McHenry. He wasn't even looking for it, worker asked him if he was interested because he was purchasing an Oak Aged Yeti. That's Awesome IMO.

    Just picked up the regular at Binny's in Plainfield about an hour ago. You have to ask for them, no variants. $9.99 each limit 3.

    This is the same place that was selling Spotted Cow. I live around the corner from here and spend a lot of money in here. I've basically quit buying any limited beer because of the prices. Around Father's Day, they had a weird raffle for prop, darkness, Darklord, and backyard. You had to write down how much you were willing to pay total for the bottles and leave your phone number. I wrote $10,000 under the name Kirk Heinrich

    I think the Brewsters Millions crowd already got some for way more than that.

    I had a chance to pick-up Prop at a liquor store yesterday for $49.99. I passed. I'm not supporting these crooks/opportunists.

    Good for you In my opinion Prop isn't worth half of $49.95. Maybe they should make Prop 13 again seeing as that was by far the best of the three.

    Fine Wines & Liquors in Lisle, IL is selling regular for $18, and regal for $50. The guy said he had coffee and barleywine as well, which I imgine would be $30-35 based on the pricing of the others. Thanks but no thanks.
