    "Oh, this could be my chance to get a taste of the variants after getting screwed out of them at the bottle release!"

    *checks tap times*

    Lol 7 and 8 PM for the variants? So that tiny taproom is going to be filled to capacity by 5, and people are going to sit there and drink themselves into a stupor for the next 3 hours. Passsss; someone just let me know if any of that stuff is still on tap Friday. :grin:

    Maybe they know (like we do) that it's going to be a shitshow, and don't want that getting in the way of all the people who would normally be eating a Balmoral?

    Shoot I would've thought they'd do this at Balmoral as most people going to this would want a place to sit down and order food given it's a weekday after work.

    I feel like they do the event at Lincoln for the OMGZ Whalz crowd while the people who are restrained and go to Balmoral find they are doing the same release there....

    Here now. Taproom is not packed at all. A few tables remain open. Benthic just tapped. Will be a good (long) sit on this stool. Good thing I ate a late lunch today. Cheers all.

    I would’ve liked to go but suburb-to-city traffic can be a big deterrent on weeknights.

    We’re not far apart at all. I’m Northbrook, and know all too well the nightmare of I-94 to city.... I-294 to I-90 to city is usually even worse.

    ONE WEEK FROM TODAY, 12 PACKS OF 12OZ CANS HIT OUR SHOP AND BALMORAL TAPROOM.

    Daisy Cutter Pale Ale and Pony Pilsner got the treatment ~ our flagship pale and our stalwart Pils. Some distribution will occur over the weekend with more to come the following week and forever. No better way to feel like a giant then to drink a beer in 16oz format for a decade and then grab hold of its 12oz little brother. $17.99 each.

    $18 is about $3 more than I wanted them to be but I don't see it as a deterrent from always having Daisy Cutter on hand.

    Wont be surprised if grocery stores sell them for $15.99 and a couple bucks less on sale.
