    Woodman's is great. Also, if you're driving in the Mundelein area, check our Di Carlo at the corner of 45 and 60. FFF, Founders, Great Lakes, Revolution, Bruery, Weihenstephaner, etc. Great selection.

    -1 on DiCarlos for gouging heavily on limited releases.

    +1 on Antioch Fine Wines. Good 3F bomber selection most times. Carry most of Dark Horse too.

    By the time you're here, maybe Zum Bier will be open. Met the brewer recently, it will offer tastings only and sell growlers and possibly bottles. it got its papers from the city so it shouldn't be long. it's on Monroe by Washington & Green Bay. Agreed that Woodmans is the go-to place in the Waukegan area.

    I've only been there a few times as I just started working in Lake Forest but $18.99 for Love CHild #3 and $19.99 for SOur in the Rye didnt seem that bad to me. Or are those not really "limited" releases? I found Dicarlo's prices to be pretty standard for the area, from what I saw at least. And I price check pretty much every beer in every store I visit.

    Black Note for $12 per 12oz; most other places were $8. $24 for Parabola. Some obviously resold Flossmoor Station release for $10 over brewery price. $20 Behemoth.

    Basically, anything they keep on that shelf behind customer service is overpriced. The stuff on the floor is normal. I did get FW XVI there for $20, which seemed to be a going rate.

    Not all the time. If they do, it's very visible.
