    So they're selling tix and then the keg is open to public at 9pm? That keg will be tapped in 15 minutes by ticket holders

    Only one pour per person, and they sold 100 tickets. A guy that works there said they have two kegs.

    This isn't some April Fools joke, is it?

    skeptical of any place getting 2 kegs of CBS...

    No April Fool's joke. We actually lucked out in getting an extra pour! Met some cool beer fans too.

    Blushing Monk on tap too! It's delicious.

    They weren't supposed to get 2 kegs of CBS, I don't know how they ended up with it.

    Does anyone (@Vav I assume) whether this is still on at the Binny's LP tasting room? I could've swore I read a tweet last week about a makeup date and time for both CBS and KBS, but went back through the Twitter timeline and couldn't find it.

    Oh sweet! Hopefully I can make it in time to get a pour. To LP Binny's!

    As of 5pm, the place is still pretty chill. Both KBS and CBS are still flowing. Probably the smoothest tapping of CBS in Chicago yet.

    This was absolutely fantastic. Very chill, and no problems at all getting a pour. If you had your fill of CBS, you had all the KBS or Sump (or others) as a consolation. Well played @Vav and company!

    The tapping went smoothly. I managed to have 2 KBS, a Sump, and a CBS without any issue. After missing every other CBS tapping, this was the bomb. Well done and thank you!

    Yeah, I left mine early for this. I've missed out on every other tapping, and I knew this was my best shot. LP taproom is always a great choice for these sorts of events, because it's a nice place, and still relatively unknown.

    I concur. Very laid back vibe, first time visiting the LP taproom. What an awesome space! Thanks @Vav and all others involved, had a blast!
