Surly cans at Whole Foods Lincoln Park on Thursday. Not sure why they are bothering to make a spot on the shelf...

Really giving them a lot of shelf space.

Anyone else know about potential Black Friday locations for Binny's? I know the Downers Grove Binny's is doing something. I haven't gotten around to asking the Binny's in Des Plaines or Arlington Heights.

Des Plaines doesn't have anything planned, we are still waiting to find out what and how much we will be getting.

Three Floyds just tapped Immutable Dusk, a black IPA. It's a collab with the band Pelican. Same band they collaborated with when brewing The Creeper.

Surly will be hitting all the Binny's locations (except Champaign and Bloomington) very soon. They will be keeping it in the cooler instead of on the shelf.

Available today at the River North/Grand Ave. location! Prices range from $12-$14/4-pack.

They also had the biggest stack of FFF beers in one store that I've seen in years. No Zombie Dust but 4-5 cases each of Alpha King, Gumballhead, Pride & Joy, Robert the Bruce and Alpha Klaus.

ETA - And Abraxas came in about 2 hours ago (1 per) and FW XVII about 30 minutes ago.

I retract all of my Debbie Downer comments.

Uhhh, holy **** u guize:

We’re already worried there’s not enough. When we left we were sending 30 barrels a month—now we’re looking at doing two, three times that a week.

 

[Treebs]

Uhhh, holy **** u guize:

Wow...that's a lot of Surly.

 

[yeahnatenelson]

Wow...that's a lot of Surly.

Yeah, about 10x what they were sending us before they left Chicago.

 

[jeblikesbeer]

As of 20 minutes ago Abraxas was gone and XVII was down to 4 bottles of the last case. Oh, and thanks for the heads up.

Well kiss my grits. Sitting at my neighborhood bar, drinking a Furious. MO on the taplist as a backup.

We live too well...

 

[gpawned]

Hell, even my little Binnys out in Des Plaines got 4-8 cases of each of 6 different Surly beers (Furious, Bender, Coffee Bender, Overrated, Hell, & Cynic)!

 

[Treebs]

It looks like FFF is starting to bottle date coinciding with the move to Windy City. First two confirmed are Gumballhead and Zombie Dust.

I actually liked that beer, but I wont be spending $10.99 on a bomber.

I still have one or two from the last release, so I doubt I'll purchase any either. I remember it being good, but nothing special.
