Bourbon County 2017

Case and a half of BW on the floor at Binny's in Wheeling. Also, about 15 cases of regular. Missed it by a couple days, but part of the "bonus drop" was also some 2016 BW. Cheers!

 

No idea; I haven't had Northwoods, but have only had my eye out for Prop, so I've stayed out of this one.

 

Bolingbrook has Northwoods right now. Just have to ask for it.

 

You're not missing much with Northwoods.

 

Maple barrel BCS at Fulton...?!

 

Schaumburg has Regular, BW and Northwoods. $24.99 for Northwoods, ouch! They also have 4 packs and singles of Rev Straight Jacket and 4 packs of Gummy Vortex.

 

I disagree, but different strokes. IMO its very good out of the gate. But every fruited variant they have done has turned amazing once the fruit mellows out a bit (about a year). So that's my expectation here as well.

 

I thought NW was outstanding as well

 

Fair enough, everyone I tried it with thought it was a mess.

 

Oak brook said they didn't get any, but it could be I don't buy enough.

 

Has anyone done a side-by-side of the different date regulars? Just wondering if there's a noticeable taste difference

 

Can you imagine? Tickers would go insane.

 

None at DG, but Glen Ellyn had 2 cases. You need to ask for it.

 

I can pick up a Northwoods for someone

 

Binnys Lakeview got dat blueberry sauce

 

I got the same answer on my way back from Mikerphone. I actually believe 'em.

 

So Backyard Rye was just a tall tale?

 

According to the Binny's buyer I know, yes.

 

Unimpressed with it. Really lacked maple and I thought it kind of clashed with the nauounces of BCBS.

 

North Riverside w/ regular and barleywine on the floor. Northwoods in back.
