    Stopped to grab a couple regular BCS from WF Deerfield during lunch and they said they didn't get any CBS yet, FWIW. Cheers!

    Well that’s what the waiter said. I left without going to the bar to confirm

    Mariano's Arlington Heights (Northwest Highway) told me they sold out over the phone.

    They used to tap kegs on the hour (or every other hour) and sell it until it blew. If its not "on tap" now, it will be shortly.

    F#@k! I bought 5 cases hoping to fund my kids' college education ... I told my wife it was a sound investment.

    For anyone in the loop, the Mariano's near the Aon Center had it at lunch. Limit 1 per person and you have to ask for it at the bar area.

    Anyone attempt to get a pour at Hopcat in Chicago? Looking to head there after work but afraid it may be long gone...

    They've priced themselves out of the market. I used to buy a lot there but haven't in quite a while. The local Meijer has stepped up their beer game so no need to.

    Seems to be a less than stellar supply around SE Michigan so far. The Meijer near me sold out shortly after releasing and the woman there said they were one of the few stores to get a large shipment. Not sure how true that is.

    Currently here. They're at less than half of the keg per the bartender. It's slow now so could be a chance. Abraxas is on as well so there's that as a consolation prize at the very least

    As expected, west Michigan got a ton of CBS, but somewhat unexpectedly it sold out nearly instantaneously. By noon it was cleaned out everywhere I stopped. Little store in the middle of nowhere by my house sold his 18 cases in 35 minutes. 2 family fare stores with decent allotments were out by noon. 2 of the big beer stores with allotments of 30-40 cases sold out in less than an hour. I feel fortunate to have scored 2 bottles by having my name on a list at another store. Was hoping to find just 1 more. Crazy!

    Yeah they did. Personally didn't like it. Still have my OG CBS glass that I LOVE and think is 100x better.
