    If you start lining up before 7AM tomorrow, that would do the trick.

    However, I'd advise spending Thanksgiving with your family, and the 5 days after doing something else more productive.

    Candy and dessert inspired beer is fun sometimes, but these days the industry has focused on those gimmicks way too much. Most of it is beer for people who don't like beer.

    On that note, I really hate peppermint. Something fierce. That said, I'm kind of starting to see why people liked Candycane BA impervious and such. Having not tried it, I can kind of see how that would work.

    Huge, HUGE fan of the peppermint beers GI has done. One of my favorite Christmas-time traditions is showing up as soon as the latest BA peppermint stout pops up; I tell my family I'm on call for when the social media announcement goes up.

    Peppermint is overpowering, it only work if the stout has big and bold flavors to match it.

    Sometimes your trolling is physically exhausting like my neck literally starts to hurt.

    Are we talking about Bourbon County or trolling?

    There is ALWAYS enough trolling to go around, but there seems to be a lot of BC to go around this year. I mean Tonys has 3 bottle limits?!

    If you're talking about the photo posted on the last page, it said 3 bottles per person, not 3 bottles per variant per person.

    However, there's a place in NY that I saw doing something similar...

    Good call, I do too much skimming because of all the useless emails I get at work on a daily basis.

    Maybe then GI needs to rewrite that pandering shit on the side of these Prop boxes that appeal to Chicagoans?

    Washington, DC doesn’t have senators, so I think they’re not a state, which means they’re not not Chicago.

    Was just curious how crowded Sheffield's gets. Was debating between Seffield's or Fountainhead for a pour. I see they tap most variants at 6pm. If I get there about 7:30 will there still be some available on tap or does it go quick? Thanks for any input.
