    When you need information like this, there's a feature on your phone designed just for that! You can dial a number, and talk to an actual person to receive instant information regarding your inquiry!

    But for real though, I generally hate making phone calls as well...

    The Binnys announcement is the original post in this thread

    I found it searching Binnys on Facebook, they have an event posted for it

    I want to get cans of everything they're offering but I don't want to travel with that many cans and don't want to have any sitting around for months losing their profile.

    Anyone that's going to be at Lincoln Park want to split costs and make 2 packs of everything?

    Unless they specify otherwise, I'd just assume that everything will be available when they open.

    Yeah, I am expecting $8.00-10.00 8oz pours at The Beer Temple Friday evening.

    I can say that I thought what I had when I visited was great. The cans I brought back were similar. I may have even enjoyed them all more than Other Half beers I've had from Brooklyn.

    Yeah the one major drawback of these quick drops. Equilibrium was priced like that too. Having said that, it's cheaper than if you were trading/buying shipped cans from an NYC connection. So a $1 per can "convenience" tax is probably worth it to me as long as we're talking hops with a good reputation.

    This isn’t completely true. Looks like these beers are coming from Brooklyn:

    DDH Mylar
    DDH Mosaic + Motueka
    Triple Cream
    Triple Nelson Daydream

    Got the OK from the wife for a morning Saint Charles beer run for some Other Half goodies. Other Half was the last brewery I visited before we moved to Chicago. Excited to freeze my ass off and talk some college football. Also, can we drink in line? Feel like we should and makes a lot of sense to me

    i talked to one of the managers at STC and it sounds like they expect to get a really healthy drop from OH. while they have had people ask about saturdays release it didn't sound like they expect it to be crazy.

    i live right down the street and plan to do a drive-by shortly before 9 and make a judgement call. with 8 cans being released i don't expect everything to sell out right away, especially at the price point. of course i could be dead wrong.

    I won't be around for it (but will have some operatives in place for it), but I wasn't thinking this is something to line up for either. I figure strolling in sometime that morning should suffice, but you never do know...

    Also thinking its unlikely this will sell out with how much they are bringing. Just planning on showing up sometime earlyish saturday morning.

    I'm assuming there will be at least a short line (at least at Lincoln Park), but if the drops are relatively large like people have said, I'd imagine that at least at or around open it shouldn't be too hard to grab them.
