I'll just say a suburban one. Don't want to screw over my guy. The prices are in their computers already.

I'm fairly certain Binnys pricing is set at the corporate level for all products so all stores are the same. vav had mentioned on the other site that they hadn't recieved invoices yet.

 

[Leafhouse]

Haha yeah that's me daniel. I don't really get why it is a big deal to some people. I don't have sweet liquor store hookups so if I want to get multiple vanilla I've got to try to track it down. I'm not trying to hoard cases of it or anything. Bourbon County is my favorite beer and the variants this year sound amazing so I want a reasonable amount.

 

[Dunt1]

Remember when that OG Vanilla was $12 a bottle...yeah me too.

I remember getting a case at the first store I went to. Search over.

The Black Friday thread is up to 7 pages on BA.. with essentially no new information since Vav's initial post (which answered pretty much everything right off the bat).

Will there be coffee? How does the raffle work? Are you tapping any special beers in the taproom? I'm driving in from Hong Kong, really looking forward to scoring a few bottles.

Is this a ticketed event this year? Can I still make it to the 10 AM event across the street? What are the raffle bottles? How much regular can I buy? If I show up later in the day can I still get regular? Can we bottle share in line? Is there a trading spreadsheet? Should I bring a grill or smoker? Who likes bacon?

WHERE WILL I BE ABLE TO PEE?!?!

Best Buy? CVS? Where can I go out drinking until 3 AM the night before and then get in line? Why is Small Town Not Your Father's Root Beer so popular?

 

[cfrances33]

Is there more or less BCBS than last year? Have you set the allotments? Is your Binny's really a Castle? Is there a moat?

If I wasn't banned, I would totally try to convince people that the Lakeview store is Castle Vav....

When people ask for the info, tell them "just google Binny's Lincoln Park".

I called the wrong store doing that.

Breaking News: I apparently can't transfer my FOBAB ticket. It was the IMBIBE pre-sale, so I just asked if someone could use it as a gen ad ticket. Nope.

The ****. So I have to eat the ticket fee PLUS the IMBIBE fee for nothing. A+willjoinagain/10.

Oh. Well if he's the one answering my emails his fate is already decided.

 

[lb304854]

answering my emails

Nope, can't be Justin.

Anyone know if Unsessionable was one big batch or if they're brewing and releasing more? I'd like to maximize freshness if the latter (and maximize drunkenness either way).

The only batch I've seen was that initial October...8-9ish batch, Something around there. I've bought a few six packs from different places and they've all been the same canned on date.

Hey is Chevalier still available at FFF? I'm coming down for FOBAB, if anyone is out at FFF and can grab me a bottle and wants to do an IP trade for some MN stuff it would cool. Would save me the trip out to Munster.

Cross-post/PSA for anyone who hasn't had it: East Clintwood from 51st Ward is ******* awful. Pls don't buy.

I think it would be hard to **** up a Citra/Simcoe hopped pale ale, but they figured out how.

If Krispy Karl hadn't been so god awful, I'd have thought you were trying to keep everyone from buying what was actually a delicious citra/simcore pale.

I had a growler of that beer courtesy of Gonzoillini and loved it, but I've heard the bottles were blegh. I believe it after this ******* beer. I'm tempted to find the brewers and A) demand a refund or B) make them drink a 4-pack each.

A second batch was brewed and canned - looking at a 6-pack from Kedzie dated Nov 3. No kegs from this round, just all cans. That will be it, though. Next specialty 6-pack may be Triple Fist - not sure if I agree w/ another big IPA but Triple Fist is pretty good, too. There are worse things!

 

[Hopping Tiger]

That will be it, though. /QUOTE]

As in forever that will be it or just for a while that will be it?

 

[user 306237]

I got the sense that we may not see it again until next year.
