    The Binny's in Lakeview will be hosting a Goose Island tasting this Friday, October 12th, from 5:30-7:30.

    And,yes, we will have over 20 cases of Bourbon County to sell. It will not be sold until after 5:30 and there is a 1 4pk limit.

    Good luck, we're all counting on you....

    Does this Binnys have taps? Curious what bottles / taps to expect

    No taps. It is the regular Goose line-up, Matilda, Sofie and BCS.

    How much does it cost to get in? If it's free to get in any idea on how much drinks will cost?

    Usually tastings are free.

    I guess I was more asking if it was a "Goose Island Event" (probably not free) ran by Binny's (the corporation) or a "Goose Island Tasting" (Probably free) ran by Binny's employees. Binny's south loop did a GI Event last winter and it was $10-20 to get in and there was a price on drinks as well

    Ahhhh, I get what your saying..... being that it 28 hours away and were hearing about it first on BA and they aren't cracking uber rare stuff my guess is free but that's a guess. Either way, I live down the block so ill stop in for a bit and pick up a four pack for my buddies that failed.

    Yeah but if you've ever been to a tasting with pschul, you'd want some kind of compensation

    Are we going to make a sign for the girl in grey?

    Is this confirmed? I'm surprised more details haven't been revealed...

    Was this ever made public? My friend said he doesn't see it on GI website or Binny's, I'm on my phone and am too lazy to check myself. We'll be there at 6, just trying to get a feel for the crowd size.

    I'm walking over, is it a war zone?

    Stopped by and grabbed a four-pack but Goose had yet to show up for their tasting. Did they ever make it there?

    Yes they made it, I was there around 6:30 and they were pouring. Also got some 3F Oude geuze off the shelf, Golden blend was in as well.
