    I can't believe it was easier for me to get a Nintendo NES classic this morning than it was to score a single bottle of BCBS.

    Ladies and gentlemen . . . 2016 beer.

    Not sure if you are looking for variants, but if not, the WF in Streeterville has a lot of regular.

    Walgreen's at State & Lake has a few cases of BCBS regular left, although they're only keeping one case behind the liquor counter at the time. The limit is 2 per person, but they're not strictly enforcing it. Allowed me to purchase 6 bottles (by going through the line 3 times and ringing me out for separate transactions). I would've bought more at $9.99 a pop if not for preferring to conceal my beer purchase upon returning to my office from lunch.

    Go to this site: http://brickseek.com/ register, and enter the DPCI (207-29-0180) for target or walmart. They'll email you the inventory for the stores closest to you. I got an email last night that some targets got some in last night (6 total each store). I went when they opened and got the last one.

    No bcbs though.

    To be overheard at Red Star bar in whole foods today:
    Guy 1:"Heard Corona's Founder died and left his Fortune to his entire village."
    Guy 2 "Yeah well I passed up Prop for Coffee inline today"
    Guy 1: WOW!

    Kildeer Whole Foods had no variants and less than 2 cases of reg. got there about 730 and was 22ish in line At 8 we all walked to back and then about 7 or so in front of me they were like 'That's it, we are out' Everyone was kind of shocked

    At least scored a Regular and BW at Homerun Inn in Round Lake, if anyone in the far NW burbs looking for some and doesn't mind paying a few extra bucks premium
