    Wow, my pour at the local pub was $12 and I doubt it was 12 oz.

    All the more reason to go on 1/31 against the Islanders. Should be a pretty good game too. Both teams have 63 points, but CBS has 100.

    Now I think Founder's is just having a little fun with this. They heard all the backlash about not putting out enough big, popular beers, and so in response they're just randomly dropping CBS kegs without warning.

    Unfortunately, you have to be an Olympia Club member unless that has changed.

    No way. I spent $30 on Miller Lite, the Wild lost, AND I missed out on CBS?? Wow, not a great night for me. At least the Red Wings fans were friendly.

    Where did you find the info on Hopleaf? I don't see anything on their website or Twitter.

    My God, it's ridiculous trying to get into Hopleaf on a normal night. I can't imagine the shitshow it's going to be on Monday.

    Supposedly lots of tappings going to happen in the next couple weeks so that should hopefully thin some of the crowds. I know I won't be going out of my way for it.

    I'm nervous to even try Sheffield's tonight. It's cramped in the Beer School on a normal night.

    Not sure if the hype is dying down or just that Longbar isnt as popular as the other places, but apparently there was no crowd at all for CBS yesterday. I wasn't there but that's what I heard. Might not be so bad at many of the remaining tappings.

    I also think most people who have been to the few past Chicago tappings will likely pass on the rest of them. It's good but not worth the stress and crowds or even going much out of your way for, is the general consensus of everyone I've talked to.
