will be stopping over night and would like to know if there are any shops to pick up some bottles, thanks
Honestly the bottle shop options are pretty barren. The Friar Tuck's mentioned above is the best in the immediate area for selection, although the famous on rt 48 might still have a BC Rare on the shelf for $100, your best bet is to hit Champaign or Bloomington for their Binny's. Decatur Brew Works downtown has the best tap list in town along with several of their own beers. Lincoln Lounge just next door has Bourbon County 15 in their cooler.
I'm Just looking for beers that I'm not able to get in Michigan, and it looks like the Friar Tuck is very close to my hotel. I'm hoping for some good options, let's see!
Enjoy, if Friar Tuck is near your hotel you've really only got two nearby tap options, Buffalo Wild Wings and The Draft. I'd recommend the Draft, not that they are a great beer bar, but it's just a slight notch above BW3 for beer selection.
