Hi All, I have a new job in Schaumburg, IL (I know you are happy for me) but I know nothing of the area. I wanted to use my lunch to check out a beer store or three. I work near Wise and Roselle roads. What stores are within 15 minutes or so of that area? Cheers, Scot
Welcome to the neighborhood! Binny's Schaumburg is your best and closest bet. It's north on Roselle and then west on Higgins. The other direction at Plum Grove and Nerge is Armanetti's. I've only been in there once and you'll probably find everything they have at Binny's. Whole Foods in Schaumburg has a good, all-refrigerated, beer selection and a taproom. You can buy a bomber off the shelf and open it in the taproom which is cool. There are Schaumburg area threads that pop up in the Great Lakes forum. Keep an eye out for bottle shares and brewery visits if that's your thing.
Binny's is your best bet, like he said. They get their shipments on Thursdays, so today is the best day to go! I'm not a fan of Armanetti's. I work right down the street from you. I can make it to Foremost in AH and back all within my lunch hour. Crap, there I go plugging that place that we want to keep a secret!
Foremost in Arlington Heights is awesome. I didn't mention it because Greg gets jealous if other dudes hit on the guys that work there.
Sals on Algonquin and 53 is solid too. Used to live in the apts there but moved away. Tim is the man there. Also foremost like was mentioned and bells across the street from foremost but there can be some gouging there. Binnys is hit or miss
