    Went to Binny's LP yesterday. Asked at customer service desk and they said they were out. However, the tasting room is serving bottles of 2012-2014 BCBS for $10 apiece. I didn't bother asking whether they would sell them to go because I figured the answer was no.

    Correct, they are not to-go. Must consume onsite.

    Unless some absent-minded yet benevolent soul forgot to put out their stock, I would say unlikely.

    I got some reg at bootleggers liquors in the Orland Park area a few days ago. They still had about 4.5 cases with no limit. Tried to sell me at $16 a bottle but their beermenus said $11 so I talked them down

    Just saw this on their website, really wish I wasn't at work and could have picked up a regal today. Awesome for everyone in the city.

    This is going to be chaos, right? Like, if I show up at 11/1130, should I even expect anything? I know their tappings are usually a little nutty...

    Appreciate it, man. I figured this wasn't gonna be the day I got my Rare, but I was still considering shooting over, and was hoping someone would dissuade me. That did it!

    Well, its more like 15. Come on though, now that the event made it to BA, and soon to CCBE I'm sure, its growing by the minute.

    Nothing brings the Chicago beer community together like a Bourbon County release!

    If the Bourbon County tapping they had on Valentines Day earlier this year..it will be a cluster fuck soon enough. they had like 200 people in line an hour before they opened, and blew threw all BCS kegs in like 15 minutes...still plenty of great beers though.

    That's a douchey tool move. Beer people are usually cooler than that.
