    I went to the Kenosha Woodman's last weekend to pick up a few cases of the New Glarus Sour 4packs but they were cleaned out of it. Where is the 2nd closest WI liquor store from Chicago that has the rare New Glarus stuff? I heard Discount in Milwaukee is legit, but I'm hoping to not drive that far!

    Suggestions?

    This is too much, even for me.

    Didn't think to ask. I figured they got their shipment and done was done.

    Discount in Milwaukee is definitely legit, went there last weekend. They pretty much had it all. Wild Sour, Berliner Weiss, other thumbprints. Strawberry Rhubarb Raspberry Tart. CW Peruvian Morning, BA Scotch Ale. Also had just an incredible amount of Mikkeller and Euro beers, I don't know much about them, but more than I've seen anywhere in Chicago (older ones too)

    You're giving up the secret lair!

    Seriously though, it's worth the drive peeps. Been my FIB honey hole for years.

    Just don't go this weekend. I'm hopefully making another trip there Friday.

    If you stop in, ask for Kyle. He's a great guy and really knows the craft scene. If he doesn't have it, and can get it, he will.

    This is my honey hole. If all you FIBS ruin my supply line, I'm shuttin the road down. :angry::grinning::angry:

    That's not bad for the 750. The 375 is $16.99 by me.

    Kirby this is my go to place as well, I try to make weekly visits in to Kyle myself. The problem with the above is the FIBs already raided Tenuta's. Kyle told me the day he received the beer, two guys form Illinois bought all 5 cases of the Wild Sour. He thought he could get more but he told me last week that it may not happen.

    The OP may want to look at Mars or Timers in Racine.

    Why does everyone keep posting these spots?? A polite 'sorry, can't help you' should suffice. Hell, the link was posted for the Beer Finder, let em go on their goose chase.

    I expect this kind of rough treatment from the trade police, but from a fellow FIB? I don't know what to believe in anymore...

    Edit: looked at screen name, makes sense now!

    I am overdue for a trip to Discount Liquors in Milwaukee.
    Can somebody here tell me when they believe certain 'Wisconsin-only' craftbeers (not just New Glarus) may appear there? :slight_smile:
