I'm thinking about getting a membership to ImBIBE, because it sounds pretty cool, and there are a bunch of perks, but I'm curious how many other BAs are already members/what you guys think about it. Is the magazine worth a read, or is this more of a "gets me in to FoBAB early, gets me discounts on local beer" membership? http://www.illinoisbeer.com/members/imbibe/ Thanks in advance!
FOBAB tickets were also essentially $10 off for IMBIBE (because they didnt go through ticketmaster). And yes, by far the biggest benefit is getting into FOBAB early so you can drink all the whales before the lines are long.
Hmm, that's a good point. $20 for me and my gf's tickets is basically half the membership right there.
I am in in. The 10% discount alone at Chicago brew werks paid for it self. And you get an awesome Draft Magazine subscription that I only gotten 2 issues of for the year hahaha. Its only 40$ why not.
Also don't forget the end of year party. I did not go last year but the year before it was at Haymarket. You could have anything on tap plus they brought out some food.
