    You know what you're going to get with a Chuck Goudie I-Team piece - some sensationalistism ("modern day rum runners!"), people squirming on camera (gotta love the E&B liquors owner saying that a lot of people use his van lol) & sheer entertainment. I think we all know this goes on so nothing new certainly. If anyone frequents E & B liquors now you know where they get their zombie dust & it ain't from a distributor :wink:.

    Lost state revenue aside, these store owners are shameful because even though they are getting their product cheaper I'm willing to wager they are not passing that 'discount' on to their customers.

    This sucks, illinois government can't afford to be missing out on tax dollars.

    But at the same time, 7 million a year is nothing when you think of how this state drains money

    Interesting to see a few cases of Zombie Dust in the mix with all the liquor.

    E&B is right by my house!

    And correct, they are quite pricey. Last I checked, even pipeworks bombers were around 16 or 17 a piece.

    There's a place in Palatine that has day old Zombie Dust. Priced at $19.99 at that. I asked them what days their shipments arrive. They guy said the FFF products come on Tuesdays, which is funny because I was there on Thursday and the bottles were dated the day before (Wednesday). Future beer!

    I wondered how the hell E&B had 18th street on their shelves.

    That's hilarious. Seeing as everyone is apparently borrowing the owner's van, maybe Drew borrowed the van one day & brought some bottles over to the store.
