Better Half

I'm assuming there was only 1 bottle but if there was more than that could you BM me the location of the Meijer? I actually didn't get a single bottle of Better Half, very disappointing.

 

I havent been able to get my hands on any either. Its flying off the shelves in the Chicago area. The closest i came was at a Binnys but missed the last bottle by 30 mins.

 

Incredible. Stuff like this doesn't even make the shelves in Indiana.

 

I'm picking up a couple bottles today if anyone is looking to trade.

 

Found Better Half at my local stores. Nothing strange to report.

 

Any stores in the western suburbs? Still trying to get one..

 

I have found it on tap at nearly all the better beer bars in Kalamazoo, bottles did not last long however.

 

Impossible to get in Chicago......what else is new??

 

Once in awhile, I roam the beer section at Meijer, hoping to find a case of something awesome. You have renewed my hope.

 

Scored mine at Schnucks.

 

Got on the list for a random drawing at my favorite shop, didn't get chosen though. Kind of pissed about it but I had Kaiser Curmudgeon about a year ago at Founders for my 21st so I guess I'll live.

 

I also have an extra bottle if anyone is looking to trade for it. Check out my wants and make an offer!

 

I also have a bottle to trade.

 

there is an ISO;FT thread you know........I did not find any BH anywhere..had a friend sell me one....Meijer..nice find...

 

Managed to snag 4 bottles at the brewery release thing on Lincoln's birthday, so I really can't complain. My opinion? It is quite tasty, though not quite "whale" category.

 

I hear Chicago BAs complaining about beers flying off the shelves regularly but everytime I'm in town I always manage to find some rare (off the shelf) or sought after beers floating around. Juliet, Lolita, Madame Rose, Rare (close to release), Coffee, Vanilla, NB and LA sours, Cantillons, Smokestack Series stuff. I love going to Chicago, I clean up. I must just be lucky.

 

Yeah, I wasn't around Chicago for the latest batch so I have no clue about it's availability. But I have been able to get a LOT more "rare" off the shelf beers in Chicago than I ever could in Cincinnati. A LOT more Cantillion in Illinois than Ohio. I don't think Chicago BAs realize how good they have it.

 

I was in Madison and had to prove my "beer cred" to the beer department manager before "the last bottle" magically appeared from the back room.
