Chicago Stout Releases (2018)

I haven't but someone on the beer releases forum mentioned more maple than 17. Said 18 is better than 17.

 

My friend says there is more maple this year than last year.

Then I spoke to a different friend and he said last year had more maple.

 

This sounds about right.

 

CBS would be so much better if it had a decent mouthfeel

 

My wife (ex-Michigander) still is in a few Michigan beer Facebook groups and reports are Costco is carrying CBS for $19.99.

Lucky them.

 

It could've been a mistake, but the CBS I purchased at Walgreens this morning was $17.99.

 

No BA Expo or Darkness to report at Binny’s LP. They were expecting to see both today, but are done taking deliveries.

 

Confirmed.

 

Did you get Balance Rewards points?

 

Looks like 170 pts for 1 bottle.

 

No bonus points? Rip off and no rar.

 

For what it's worth, by the time I got to Binny's Grand CBS was already sold out (I think around 6pm?) went to some other downtown spots but struck out at each one. Warehouse Liquors also sold out. Saw some people saying this was going to be a shelf turd this year, so uh, if you see it being a shelf turd somewhere in the downtownish area please let me know, as I'd really like to get one, thanks!

 

Cases available $8 cheaper at six corners (new one) Walgreens.

 

Thanks, I saw you all mentioning Walgreens but had no idea which one you meant, lol.
Thanks again.

 

I'm not savvy enough to decrypt the Walgreens bonus point system, but apparently they don't apply to Snyder's Pretzel Pieces either. Otherwise I'd have a much bigger balance.

 

Three dozen sitting on a shelf in Lansing MI Meijers. $24.99. Also picked up a six pack of expedition Stout.

 

Did you just post about beer sitting in Michigan in a Chicago thread?

 

Check Jewel? Know the Jewel in my neighborhood had about two cases left as of 6pm last night, but not sure if all Jewels got it. It might not be out on the floor either - was behind customer service at mine.

 

So how is it?

 

Sorry, Meant to post in Founders thread. Lots in Michigan, likely lots still in Chicago, it’s not 2011 or 2017 anymore.
