Calling all Friendly Illinois Brethren who work in the loop.

Not this Thursday (Thanksgiving), but next Thursday (11/30), several of us who have done the last couple of Catalina BIFs decided to get together in person, which turned into inviting other TBers (IRL friends who are not in Catalina), which morphed into "well, why don't we just invite all FIBs?"

So if anyone is free (when? TBD, but after work) on 11/30 - we're going to meet here, across from Union Station (and close enough to several El lines): https://littletoasted.com/

Post up here or PM me if you think you can make it, so we can form a wall of FIB goodness around the right amount of space/seats.
 
middlebrow cracked a BA Milk Eyed Mender this evening, really impressed. Incredible barrel presence, great mouthfeel, with a crazy dark chocolate finish. Would do unspeakable things for more of this.
might be a bottle or two left at capones, beermisc., bitter pops or warehouse (YellowBird they gone?). while B2 & B3 BA are sleeping until the fall, a new canned regular basic bitch batch should be out in 3 weeks. complete with a new spinal tap inspired art.

maybe...I've never seen a glass explode by getting tapped on the side by a can. It didn't even fall over, just like blew out. super weird. beeraficionado any other dipshits complain of exploding glassware?

Interested! ought to be in pending meetup time/work deadline the next day that may keep me in the office late.

I should be able to do this in case anyone still wants to meet a formerly notable member who rarely posts anymore. Like TheJB, I look pretty much like my profile photo.
 
I stashed a couple bottles, but otherwise they gone!

Save one for me?

So did Jewel decide not to do Black Friday events this year? Did they get cut out? Or are they just being quiet about it?

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but their release last year worked great for me based on location and time.

The other site is on it, however, so it may not be quite as painless this year.

Batavia should be a damn mess of folks looking for their second allotment by 10AM. I think a lot of the locations that say they're getting variants may just be barleywine.
