Mmmaaayyybbbeeee if someone offers up 3 darkness...

No, def 1:1.

Darkness is brewery only.

Oh yeah. Imma go get more Darkness today and offer it up 1v1 ALL the BC variants.

 

[kawilliams81]

No, def 1:1.

Darkness is brewery only.

And, it's not barrel aged and has no coconut (for those with allergies). So, yeah 1:1 seems right.

Prop wasn't brewery only though which gives Darkness the advantage.

It depends where you live. In Chicago you could have picked up Darkness at any Binny's yesterday and today. Got two an hour ago, no lines, no fuss. Props on the other hand you had a line no matter what, random luck excluded. Plus if you wanted multiples the whole no line thing is mule friendly leading to a possibility of 8 or so bottles in a few hours.

My local liquor store got two cases of Prop and four cases of Darkness, so 2 Darkness for 1 Prop should be pretty close...

You're right.

I would take that trade, I'll just drink the darkness I traded you at the next Zwanze Day.

 

[Hops McG]

What if I trade you a bourbon county snozberry rye?

Got some free time this weekend. Was thinking of hitting one of the new-ish places I haven't been to yet, any of them worth a visit? Horse Thief Hollow? Buckledown? Temperance? Already been to One Trick Pony, 18th Street and Urban Legend.
Are there any other brewery/taprooms that have opened up in the last 6 months?

No release party (boo!) for Revolution's Straight Jacket this year -- on sale at the taproom in 22oz. bottles as of yesterday ($15). Hugene is back on tap, too, which I have liked a lot in the past. I hope E. Norma Gene shows up at their anniversary party in a few weeks -- I liked that one quite a bit more.

[match1112]

Not that anyone but me cares, but Rolling Meadows Brewery down in Springfield is having their second annual release of Barrel Aged Abe's Ale tomorrow at the brewery from 1-7. Only 300 bottles, super.rar! It's a maple syrup brown ale aged in Elijah Craig 12yr barrels.

2 bottles? Lmk

 

[Lognar]

Anyone know what are some good places (bars or taprooms) in Chicago that allow people to bring bottles to share either for a corkage fee or a "just share with the bartender" fee?

Not sure yet. But I'd imagine just a couple. I'd guess around 5 or 6 maybe less. Nothing really set, but just trying to do research for minnesotaryan when he comes to Chicago at some point.

I'd like to throw Rickshaw Republic out there. Not a bar, but the food is insane and they were very accommodating to 6 of us opening 18 whaley bottles. No corkage as they don't serve alcohol. Walking distance or a short cab ride to great bars.

I would also suggest finding a good BYOB place.
