    The Cardinal liquors in Joliet released it at 3. Guy said they got 10 cases. Limit 1. Saw people going through again. I'd guess they went through 5 or 6 cases.

    That funny I saw the Beer truck roll up to Cardinal in Joliet at around 8:20 why the hell did they sit on it so long?

    What line? It's a ticketed release spread out over three days. Specifically to avoid having a line. I'd much prefer this approach across the board.

    Right, but it’s my understanding he meant 15 cases.

    Wish I was able to get out there this morning. I’m stuck scouring the northern burbs now to see if I can come up with anything.

    The distribution game seems very weird, though one thing I'd say - Founders is an older craft brewery and Nebraska isn't exactly a hotbed. So maybe they have more sales per liquor store in Nebraska, and allocate more there? Probably not, but maybe.

    Changing your clothes is for the rookies. I've been growing a beard waiting for CBS to be released, so I could go through once with the beard, go shave quickly and double dip. I thought that's why most guys in this hobby had long beards.

    Not a coincidence I start growing mine Nov. 1st every year. I tell people it's because of the season; they assume "winter," but what I mean is "stout."

    Smells like coconut, booze, maple, chocolate. Tastes of bourbon upfront and sweetness on the back. Guys, this beer is so well crafted and tastes absolutely wonderful. It had such a difficult task of living up to the enormous expections, and I can honestly say that it did. And all of this got better as it warmed up

    some places had limits, and some had none. The small store near my house that sold 18 cases in 35 minutes had no limits. Apparently more than 1 person purchased multiple cases there.

    This reminds me of the Odd Side Hipster Brunch Black Friday release a few years back. No limit - saw a guy wheel 8 cases to his moderately sized car. MI man,,,,it's a state I can't help but love.

    If I remember correctly, you are in the NE part of the State. Take a little drive into the U.P. one of these weekends. Lots of places up there have it.
