i'll be in chicago this weekend.. is there any chance i'll be able to get my hands on any three floyds or bourbon county to be able to bring home?
Three Floyds bottles should be available at most decent bottle shops. I wouldn’t count on a Zombie Dust guarantee, but any time I visit Chicago, there seems to be some bottles around. If you’re a freshness junkie, you may want to check bottle dates before you buy. Go! Liquors in Logan Square was my go-to when I would visit. Pipeworks IPAs and stouts are usually some worthy grabs too, and I haven’t had much difficulty tracking those down either. Bourbon County is probably bought up everywhere, but some locals may comment more accurately if there is any around. Cheers!
If you’re willing to work for it, a drive to the pipeworks dojo is worth it - but don’t ask why! It’s a secret! Shhhhhhh. If you leave now, you could get over to Mikerphone for some Con leche - released yesterday with regular ISLBS. If you call around, there’s a chance you can get a mixed four pack of the temperance might meets right (just hit distro). If you stop in to Forbidden Root, and you show your BA loyalty card, there’s always a chance some cans from the recent release are hidden somewhere (don’t know if this is true) - either way, killer NEIPAs on draft right now. Deth’s Tar is around and is arguably as good or better than BCS this year. Regular BCS and Barleywine are around - you’d have to trade for variants at this point, or find and pay $100 for something lame at a sketchy corner store. You can get crowlers at MoRe - DDH loose candies was tasting really good if that is still on. It’s a good time to be in Chicago. Venture forth and conquer!
Welcome to Beer Advocate! Can be combative... As noted Bourbon County or FFF shouldn't be a problem. If you let us know where you'll be in Chicago, more tailored advice can be provided.
