    Stop.

    I have been told we aren't allowed to complain about any of the following...

    -Breweries increasing prices
    -People's purchasing habits
    -Beer quality

    Your compliant falls squarely into bucket #2, please cease and desist.

    The only thing we can complain about here are neckbeards and ticket websites crashing.

    Interesting, my purchasing habits are generally to buy as little as possible of each individual beer unless it's a beer I know I love. I was fine with singles of the BCBS bottles, Revolution bottles, etc.

    I did buy a case of Celebration though.

    This is also why I love B&C.

    What part qualifies as bad, to you? Biggest draw to Hubbards Cave is that its distributed and typically sits for a while, making it easier to obtain.

    Unhappy you missed out on cans at More? Wait until next week when they'll likely have as many crowlers as you want to buy, like the last Marbles releases.

    Pro tip - just buy any of the incredible "shelf turd" IPAs that are easily available and cost way less

    Bingo. I'll take it a step further; there are so many breweries that do not have threads here which have amazing beer to go at all times. There are two FOBAB winning beers available to go with zero line at Pollyanna right now. But they are not hyped so...

    Lemont is a little far away for some living in city proper.

    This would maybe be accurate if they didn't have other beers to go right now. But they do.

    well at least the reviews are sub par. Case limit is insane, I dont think I would ever spend $100 on a case of IPAs

    Just out of curiosity, do you guys travel from out of the city to Villa Park get this shit or are they people who live around there who buy these cans in 80 minutes?

    I sure hope people are not driving 45 minutes to an hour to pick up a 4-pack of an IPA! Remember, there are a ton of people in the suburbs around Villa Park which is a short drive from Schaumburg, Naperville, Oak Brook, etc.

    I work in Countryside, it's a 20 minute drive to More. This is the first can release I've been to on a Friday at More in a while. I don't like taking 1.5 hour lunches too often which is what happens if More has a big line for the release.

    The Lemont one is also right by the Metra.

    Isn't an apples to apples comparison. There are people that legitimately like More's ipas over, say, Pollyanna's. You may disagree about their quality, but grabbing some NvU isn't an exact replacement.

    This seems right. If you live in the area I can see that but for me to ever leave downtown chicago to go pick up cans or whatever from More seems silly to me when there are like 800 breweries downtown to choose from

    Agreed...I would love to go to forbidden root more often or Brewers row, but it's a pain in the ass. I spend most my brewery time at more, Mikerphone, noon whistle, or the beer cellar
