    I can absolutely shoot the star out with the red raider pellet gun. I have less success with the water gun in the clown's mouth.

    I seem to recall being able to enter the lottery by now, if there is an event should be interesting considering the expanded variant offerings.

    Just went through an old text thread of some of my friends. Emails about Prop Day winners went out last year on Oct. 26. I received no email on that day, yet somehow life has gone on.

    Im confused by these posts. I had no idea Proprietors day sign ups had already gone live and ended.

    Edit: rereading these I am an idiot.

    Ah, problem solved :rolling_eyes:

    EDIT: I was replying to provide clarification, not to pile on. At least initially :stuck_out_tongue:

    I saw a bunch of bourbon county 2016 at Galleria for $30 and $40 a bottle. They seemed like larger bottles than what I was used to. New batch of old beer? Or am I just crazy?

    I did honestly have a dream that there was a "bacon" variant of BCS the other night, and everyone was raving about it...

    Huh. Maybe crazy? Unless they're 2014 or prior vintages of bombers...

    Regarding the bacon, not so crazy. Ever had Rye Hipster Brunch, Maple Bacon Porter, or Wide Awake? All incredible.

    Called Galleria, they have 1 bottle of 2016 Prop and it's 89.99. Plus tax you're looking at over $100.

    It turns out there will be at least one more version of Goose Island Beer Co.’s most popular stout released this year.

    According to a keg label filed with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), the Chicago-based brewery will be releasing 2017 Double Barrel Bourbon County Brand Stout, a 17.2 percent ABV imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels.

    I'm going out on a limb and assuming that this is the "surprise" that GI mentioned might be around on Prop Day.

    Or the "surprise" for Clybourn Reopening.

    Or the "surprise" that I didn't need to drive me even more crazy for not living in Chicago. If I can make it to Chicago for Black Friday, sure would love to get a taste of this on tap.

    Hopefully they bring this to FoBAB so there aren't lines for any of the other beers.
