    Not to be obnoxious, but any update on this. Land in CHI in about an hour. Could use a night cap

    Check the places already mentioned, a few should still have BCBS. Sounds like O'Toole's does

    Lincoln Station had coffee 2015 and 2014 in bottles this afternoon. Seems like their BeerMenus is pretty up to date.

    Thanks for those who directed me to Mariano's. Was able to snag some regular and enjoying for the first time. Thanks again

    if you're looking, check out Crown Liquors on Milwaukee/Diversey.

    They tapped 2014 Barleywine, 2015 Barleywine, regular BCS, and 2015 Prop.

    Sizable flights of the four for $25. And they've got some regular bottles for sale in the liquor store at something like $12 or so. Very reasonable.

    Lincoln Park Whole Foods (on Kingsbury) was supposed to be tapping Regular and Rye today at 6, and the DePaul Whole Foods was supposed to be tapping Regular and Barleywine. I'm pretty sure the West Loop one was supposed to be tapping something as well, presumably at least the regular. Not sure how long all those will last - I would've loved to get to the Rye tapping, but family obligations prevented it.

    The taproom on Fulton has two rotating taps dedicated to BCS Variants. Had Coffee and Barleywine flowing like a waterfall today. $7 for a solid pour.

    Yeah, I was there too, but I'm a little unclear how it works. Is it every 3rd Friday of the month like they claim, or are they just doing EVERY Friday right now?

    I think they're just on a roll now in the short-term window after this year's release. They've had some variant on tap every night since Black Friday. It would be great if they kept it going for awhile (since I haven't had a chance to get over there yet), but my hunch is that they do it this weekend and then stop.

    Also stopped in for a quick pour of Barleywine before heading out of the city. They also had all of the Black Friday merch, including the Rare Day bottle openers.

    Where is BCBS on tap today in the city? I know Timothy O Tooles has had kegs lingering. I've also seen some untappd logs at Hopleaf, crown liquors, and the goose island on Fulton.

    Any updates?

    I know Clark St. Dog just tapped it today - check out beermenus and you'll see plenty of listings, especially if you're just looking for regular.
