Bourbon County 2017

No chance. Assuming you mean 6:00am. 6:00pm is no sweat. I've heard Binny's lot fills up in the wee hours of the morning. There is parking nearby supposedly, but I don't know much about that.

 

Yeah, clarifying details are helpful. Sorry about that. I meant in the AM, and the surrounding area parking scenario. I know the Binny's lot will be f'd long before then.

 

I say let him bring it - maybe minus the tornadoes. I've got the cold weather/waterproof gear to cope with whatever polar vortex shitstorm TDL has got. That's right, I just acronymed him. Let's separate the wheat from the chaff here and pare the line down some.

 

Use SpotHero and reserve a nearby garage spot for $5-6.

 

If this intel is accurate, we're talking $236 before taxes.

 

MORE profitable for Goose Island? AB? Please clarify

 

I got there around 6pm last year, plenty of parking along Clybourn couple blocks away. Metered parking but doesn't start until 8am if I recall. Pay and reload parking from the app in line if your time expires before ya get your allocations.

 

I think the 2015 infections are starting to have that impact on vintage releases. Like a sports team with a bad draft class

 

Had a little too much fun on Thanksgiving night and went this route. Getting there at 830 got me BCBS and a barleywine. Could then hit Mom and pop shops but for higher prices and mandatory Goose 6/12 pack purchases

 

Ita crazy talk to assume this to be true.....The post itself stated every suburban binnys location will have the full allotment. Now the caveat is assuming you arrive "early enough". I have been to binnys in Naperville by 6 am the past two years and gotten full allotment each time.

 

Went to naperville binnys last year, actually the past two years, both at 6 am. Easily got full allotment. Also last year, I dropped gf off at naperville binnys went over to the local jewel which opened at 7, got full allotment and then rejoined gf in naperville line. Great way to double dip. Plan on doing it this year as well... but given the availability of options this year, I plan on arriving alittle earlier then 6 at naperville binnys to be safe. Hope this helps

"How bad the rest of the binnys allotments are"?? You think 4 base, 2 barley then 1 of each of coffee, prop, northwoods and reserve is bad? Geez. Hate to see your excitement level as a child on Christmas morning.

 

Not sure if I’m mis-reading your post, but it sounds like you were a line jumper. Drop off the lady at 6 at Binny’s, head over to Jewel for an hour to get the 7 am allocation, then back in line with gf at Binny’s after that? Maybe I read it wrong, but that doesn’t sound too cool.

 

I’m almost positive that fucker wasn’t first last year.

Youlll have to circle the blocks, but you’ll find a spot with 4 or 5 blocks.

 

Not sure how this is being twisted as some unethical act when I have seen much worse at literally every major beer release in Chicago. To clarify I was in line at binnys in naperville at 6am for 30 min or so, left to go to jewel and was back in about an hour. Not a huge issue.....people were constantly coming and going from the line from running to get breakfast, going in the car for a bit to warm up, etc. To put it this way....we arrived at binnys at 6am, established our spot, made friends with those around us, so there was no issue at all. The people that showed up at 830 and joined their friends who were ahead of me and my gf is what I would classify as "not cool".

 

Regarding the guy that's first every year the ultimate troll would be to beat him to the spot then if a local news crew does one of those wacky "can you believe these people wait in line for beer!?!?" bits that sometimes happen at Black Friday releases tell them you've been first every year while he stands behind you watching powerlessly from the 2nd or 3rd spot.

 

Just to reconfirm, you don’t have to purchase entire allotment (at LP Binny’s at least), correct? Last year they just handed you a bag with the full allotment so I didn’t even get the impression I could choose.

 

Somewhere in the FAQs section on the Binny's link it says that you do not have to take the whole allotment.

 

He wasn't, it was two girls and a guy in a group.

 

I had '15 on tap at Links during CCBW this year and thought it was incredible
