    Jewel repeatedly said in their blog page no variants at non-event stores.

    You expect some of these people to read? Some of them probably can't, even.

    Incorrect. The 10 event stores listed as event stores on the Jewel webpage are all getting all variants. I was at one and got my full allotment. Time for bed.

    Just left palatine jewel with a case of reg. $3 more each than last year.
    Beer guy said idgaf how many you buy because he shelved around 7 cases. Manager lady wasn't having it...limit 3pp....but I was grandfathered in.

    I think I was around 50-60ish person at oswego event store. They ran out of vanilla about 5-6 people ahead of me, don't know when they ran out of reserve, bit bummed about vanilla not so much the reserve.

    Just because you read that and some of us didn't doesn't merit that kind of tone. Showing off your college brain.

    I for one am disappointed in Binnys, due to their competence this year, this thread has been nowhere as enjoyable as it was last year ...

    Are people seeing fewer people at the suburban Binny's than last year? It seems that way here at North Riverside. I’m wondering if the fact that so much was held for LP this year reduced the suburban numbers...

    I am convinced that some people just don't have anything better to do. As is the same every year, I swung by Jewel after they opened and left within four minutes with four bottles. Yet, there is a line at the Schaumburg Binny's down towards the health care store. Should I help these people out and let them know you can walk into Jewel instead of waiting in a line for a beer? Amazing...

    Sorry friend, it just angers me to see fellow beer nerds waste time in unnecessary lines.

    For the question about Binny's lines; I would estimate Schaumburg has about 150-200. I can see from my office :slight_smile:
