    Just picked up a bottle from the Orland Park Binny's, the limit there is 1 bottle. Buddy went to the Evergreen Park Binny's and grabbed a few, no bottle limit.

    Just picked up one at Binny's on Dempster in Skokie. 1pp limit, $22/bottle. There was probably 8-9 left on the shelf still.

    Does anyone know if these typically hit Whole Foods and other spots that carry Surly? Or just Binnys?

    Already answered earlier in the thread for you. I didn't have to "chase" this one at all last year and ended up with two bottles.

    Thanks @croush Much appreciated. Haven't been around for this one the last couple of years. Would be great not to have to chase it.

    This was so much earlier than last year, I wonder what the deal is this year? Anybody heard anything about BA Darkness? It did not sound like it made an appearance at Darkness Day this year.

    Read page 1 of this thread about some BA info.

    If anyone is still interested in meeting up at Bitter Pops, I'll be in. This is my favorite spot in Chicago.

    Ps...Bitter Pops ended up getting 5 cases instead of 2 of darkness.

    Shout out to bitter pops. First time going and super friendly. Wish every release of bottles was like this. Good vibes and Darkness is drinking great.

    Mokena Binny's was out when I stopped in at 6:20. The Monday daytime release is a rough one. Hopefully the BA search will be more fruitful

    Will any other stores in the suburbs other than Binny's have darkness?

    Oh yeah, the BA search should be a breeze. :flushed:

    No...unless you consider reading the thread talking about other stores that have had Darkness this year or had it last year...or if you consider going to Surly's website and seeing which stores in Chicago are having it.

    Standard Market in Naperville just posted that they got some. Have to ask for it
