    Does anyone have suggestions on some good Lambics that are available in this part of the state? I appreciate the replies.

    We talkin' north central, northeast (Lake County and such), or northwest? Different distros up here, so different things potentially available.

    Aside from Lindemans which is everywhere (grab the Cuvee Rene, really the only good one) there's a fair amount of Hanssens kicking around the city and burbs. Other stuff like Boon and Lambicx should be available as well. binnys.com usually keeps what that have in what store fairly up to date.

    Or call, the beer guy will be refreshed to hear a question like this instead of "do you have any Zombie Dust?" Just don't ask if they have any Cantillon, you'll get the same Zombie Dust sigh... :slight_smile:

    Thanks a lot guys, I will have to look for this stuff since I am trying to open up my palate to a new beer style.

    If by Northern Illinois means close to the Wisconsin border, I'd go get some New Glarus fruit beers and call it 'close enough.'
