    I'm looking for some craft beer stores in the gurnee IL area to buy some stone or dfh or both. Any suggestions?

    Also about 15 minutes away, Antioch Fine Wines has a great selection of craft. DFH and Stone represented there.

    If coming from the kenosha area I recommend Antioch very easy to get to and not a long drive.

    I'm coming from lake Geneva so I probably won't go to kenosha., but I'll keep that in mind. Antioch is on the way from lake Geneva to gurnee so I'm definitely going there.

    Antioch Wines also has a bunch of 3 Floyds and Firestone Walker. There is a bar in town that has a good selection of craft, though I have not stopped there yet.

    Antioch Wines has a great selection but they are overpriced and Rick is a hustler with limited releases. I used to shop there a lot but haven't stepped foot in there in over a year.

    Since I moved to Lake Villa, Binny's is a haul for me. About the only good thing is I work ten minutes away from Antioch FW and if they announce something in stock at the store, I can get there at a moment's notice. But yeah, not crazy about how some of the releases are handled, or the raffles.

    Little out of your way but Wine Knows in Grayslake quite often has DHF and Three Floyds.

    Loaded up on dfh, a bottle of double bastard from stone, a bw from great divide and a couple of others that I can get in wi (Madison area). I thought fine wines in Antioch was reasonably priced and had a very good selection. Thanks for the advice.
