BCBS is going to be a bloodbath this year.

What in thee ****?

 

[RedCoffee]

I might be the only person thoroughly unimpressed by this root beer stuff. Tasted like a root beer and vodka cocktail.

I am torn between gearing up for B(CBS)lack Friday and just saying fuckit to the whole thing. The variants I've had are delicious, but that level of insanity is hard to justify.

Get to empty Clybourn at 10am, order various vintage BCBS, laugh at 1000 frozen nerds at Binny's.

 

[Dunt1]

I reckon I will probably hit a few stores on Black Friday and none of them will be Binnys. Will save money for Illinois lambic style beers on Sunday.

Then they all come over for the tasting and brag to everyone about how much BCBS they've bought so far. The worst.

What in thee ****?

Seriously. Isn't that the 5.9% **** too?

Beer is awful.

 

[gtx281]

BCBS is going to be a bloodbath this year.

I'm literally going to pick 1 store, take what I can get, and quit.

I'd rather shower with my parents than chase beer with CCBE types on Black Friday.

In other news, if you ever find yourselves out around Phoenix, get your ass to AZ Wilderness. Out here now for work and really enjoying their lineup.

100% agree. Had a pour at a beer fest a couple years ago and dumped almost all of it.

You're likely better off picking a different Binnys. When did people show up at the castle last year - 11pm*? I would expect people to start lining up at 11am on Thursday. Adam has already said there will be goodies and giveaways for the first people in line - talk about throwing chum to a feeding frenzy of sharks.

*For the record, I still call ******** on putting chairs in front of the store and then going to wait in the car.

Does Dryhop have decent food?

 

[ClCardinal84]

Does Dryhop have decent food?

They have a damn good burger.

Note: Last time I ate there was July 2013. See below now

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Does Dryhop have decent food?

It's decent. When they first opened I had a good meal there, however the last time I went they had significantly changed the menu (for worse). It was ok.

 

[Treebs]

Does Dryhop have decent food?

I was there about 5-6 months ago. I had the burger which was great and the wife and a skirt steak with chimichurri sauce that was very good. Not sure if they'd done any changes since then, but I definitely enjoyed my meal. Can't comment on anything else.

 

[Hopping Tiger]

Has anyone seen any new Tomes anywhere? Shelton is supposed to be back but so far I haven't seen anything. Do I just have no clue what I am doing?

One of these days I'll actually sign up for the MBA program. Le sigh. These tickets are going to be ridiculous to get.

Don't they usually add the other alternating hour time slots a few days later? I seem to remember it being that way the past few years.
