Westy 12 in Chicago

The line at Downers Grove Binny's

 

The beer guy from DG Binny's tweeted last night that there was someone at 8pm already waiting in line.

 

christ, is that a stock photo, or is that legit?!

 

14 hour wait..at what hour does it become loitering and borderline illegal

 

Legit https://twitter.com/dgcraftbeers/status/278862512072564738/photo/1

 

psssssttt...... don't tell anyone that's its not that amazing. Save the 14 hours and the bucks and buy a bunch of rochefort 10. And please dont tell these people about Belgium in a box.

 

Rochefort 10 or is it St Bernadine 12? I have heard b
oth.

 

10 > 12 (as much as i love 12) (also, insert "cant tell if serious" meme here)

 

Have the monks bourbon barrel aged that stuff yet? I only wait outdoors in the cold for bourbon barrel aged beers.

 

I feel like only craft beer n00bs would wait in line for Westy.

The people that know whatsup, know its not worth it.

 

Can't agree with you.....This is historic!

 

Totally not worth waiting in line or spending $82 on 6 of them. I wouldn't put Westy 12 in my top 25 beers.

 

Actually everyone should have been waiting until today. The abbey specifically requested that the bricks not be sold until 12-12-12.

 

i can't wait to see all the FT: westy 12 ISO: cable car threads in the trade forum

i decided to not wait in line, but i may try and trade for a bottle or two since i've never had it.

 

I was number one at downers!!!!!!!!!!! now, FT - westy brick. ISO - duck duck gueuze & cable car. I can sweeten the deal with lambeek wants dragon fruit.

 

Fail.

 

Damn, i almost forgot its cool to hate Westy 12 now because it is released domestically.

Typical BAer in '11 and earlier: Wish it was easier to get a Westy!
Typical BAer in Dec '12: F Westy!

I heard Downer's has 300 bricks. You may still have a shot if you head over there now.
