    I'm going to be traveling through a couple of times in the next few weeks on I-80. I always stop at 3 Floyds, but I was wondering if there was any really good bottle shops just off I-80 near Chicago that are worth stopping at?

    I'd love to grab some Half Acre/Piperworks/Revolution stuff if I can.

    I see there is a Binney's in Orland Park that looks close to I-80...any other suggestions? Is this place worth stopping at?

    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, but it is probably a good 20 minute drive from 80 and probably more this time of the year with the mall right there. Kenwood Liquors on 159th Street and Will-Cook might be a better bet for you. People around other exits on 80 may have better options. Heroes West in Joliet is a sports bar practically on top 80 with about 20 craft drafts and good bar food if you are looking for somewhere to eat.

    If you go to the Orland Binny's you can then head west on 159th to Kenwood - maybe a 15 minute drive. Kenwood beats Binny's on price hands down, but Binny's does have a larger selection - especially on Pipeworks.

    Then you can take 159th further west to get on 355 south and then back onto 80 (east or west - your choice!)

    Kenwood and Binny's are great choices of course.
