    She's lucky she's cute :wink:

    But I'm not complaining, and my wallet sure isn't either.

    Probably the first time I've ever heard someone imply that their kid is saving them money! :stuck_out_tongue:

    If it's the same recipe as it was last year, it will use an American yeast strain.

    Was one of the better imperial IPAs to hit Chicago last year. If you like imperial IPAs from spiteful, I think you'll dig this one.

    And who knows where that distribution truck/van will go next. I may try to grab some tonight if it's still around...maybe.

    This stuff is selling out as it drops. Not seeing it last long.

    Which is odd, since Ive seen numerous posts about people being sick of the style and still buying them all up.

    I'm staying out of this one! So that's one less.

    It's ~35 degrees in the morning now, so I'm starting to chase stouts!


    With that being said, given how difficult to find GB was last time, I can't blame people for scooping it up.

    Also - Fountainhead will have this on tap at 4pm. 2 hour old beer! Hopefully everyone on this thread who has wanted this stuff gets it this time (at least if you're in the city; god knows outside of that).

    Nobody on this site drinks beer on tap, you can't trade tap beer for whalez, or hoard cases to post pics on Instagram

    Actually, by that metric beer on tap is all we drink; can't feel guilty about drinking it if you don't have a chance to trade it anyway!

    apparently nobody on this site has a job either in order to be chasing beer trucks and releases around all afternoon during the week! lol.

    Personally, I just fudge a little on my lunch hour. I take it more or less when a beer shop is getting the beer I want in stock.

    If it's outside the Loop, however, then yeah, I'm SOL and I'm blaming people without jobs!! :grinning:

    Yes, there are a lot of people that have some flexibility at work to extend lunch, get away for 15-30 minutes, work from home, work nights, etc. It's definitely not people without jobs snatching these up.

    GB is at Capone's now; go get it, people without jobs!

    (let's be honest, @croush, there are always people without jobs that somehow manage to have the money to buy whatever they want *insert joke here*)
