    Anyone see Double Beezer around in the wild still?

    Couple of Binnys. Might want to check online. I have a 4 pack waiting at my local whenever I get over there.

    Is it still good this much later? My question is did anyone have the Old Irving/Crushed by Giants collab?

    Would also like to know, and if it is balanced, or if it is sugar straw sweet like Beezer?

    Would love to pair a crowler with their Nashville Hot sandwich if balanced vs. sippy cup sweet.

    My local Vaughn's NW Tap on NW Highway & Austin (they have six locations throughout Chicago and Suburbs in total) is offering bring your own 64 oz growlers ($13) or 32 oz mini growlers ($7) of Old Irving Beezer, 3F Gumball Head and their collaboration with Spiteful Brewing Mystic Celt, a good Irish Red Ale). They also sell mini growlers to go for a deposit. You can call their other nearby locations to see their specific draft or bottle availability.

    Have run into other bars selling draft or bottles/cans at decent discounts.

    I'm still not sold on the beer itself. But I just saw a picture of the glass and now I'm jealous

    I just walked into the front of the brewery. I was the only one in there. Just go the counter and they will help you out really easy process. The front bar has been taken over by all the merchandise. Some pretty cool krampus merchandise. Montrose is under construction just west of the brewery but parking was easy

    What @BeerDes said. All of their “curbside” transitioned to pickup at their host counter a few months ago. Pretty low key. I’ve never seen more than a couple of people waiting at a time, and usually people wait outside after checking in. But I haven’t been part of a release, so not sure if they are handling those with time slots or anything.

    Pickup was really easy for Krampus. Head straight back, show them your ID and tickets and they hand over your cans. In and out under 2 minutes.
