Carbonated Abrasive cans (the issue I had with mid-January cans, not a matter of freshness). Excellent.

Is this a comment, question, statement, argument, fact, or just a bunch of jumbled words?

middlebrow whats the scoop on Who's That Girl in terms of distro locations/availability? Just saw it posted on Twitter, googled to find out what it was, now want to drink it. I'm nowhere near Tinley Park or I'd just go to the place that tweeted it.

Don't you have to be liked for there to be actual sides? This one would be pretty damn one-sided....

you dont wanna make the trek out to tinley? I hear they got wonderful beef sandwiches and I think yeahnatenelson made the journey (my wife works at a school around the corner and stopped in to buy a bottle because I don't have any and saw the handsome devil saddle up the bar like norm on cheers). Anywho, theres only like 250 bottles, currently in the city the only places that have it are bottles & cans, marias, & warehouse. Also if your in the mood for some good food, Duseks has a few bottles too (as a thanks as we stole the art from their bathroom). I imagine beer temple & WLV will get it but I have no confirmations as I ain't the distributor. Other than that, castle de vav will probably get it next week after we clear up UPC confusion.

this was flowing at FOBAB but it was severly undercarbed and ODB style raw. we naturally carbed it and let the brett punch & setlle a bit, and its tasting 10 times better IMO.

Shameless promotion over.

I enjoyed it at FOBAB even in its undercarbed form. I hope to grab a bottle.

Post the bottle count on CCBE and the turd will get gobbled! That said, hasn't landed at Warehouse yet...

 

[daniel1]

I made this mistake with Mango Magnifico and then again with Tiberian Inquisitor. Still got bottles of both sitting around... ugh.

You're dumb.

 

[Rizdac]

The Open Bottle is a killer place. Great space, nice amount of taps, and Patrick and Julia were friendly and great to chat with.

And Who's That Girl is most likely gone by now as there was only one left when I left around 7:30.

 

[ChicagoGuy]

I'd never heard of Middle Brow until just now from this thread, and went over to their website. The fact that they split their profits down the middle with groups like Ceasefire and Greater Chicago Food Depository makes me an insta-fan. That's pretty awesome.

Abrasive is starting to hit the Burbs Binny's.

 

[PHBoiler]

According to twitter, Abrasive lasted 44 minutes at Oak Brook in late morning on a Thursday at 1 four pack per person. Holy smokes. That's tough for locals over there. It'd be hard not to be upset when a store in the same chain of liquor stores had loads of it last night.

Oh that is fantastic! He can't stop. Won't stop. Until all the beer world hates him. I approve of his mission.

Interesting perspective.

Serious question, how long did it take you to realize the Onion isn't real news?

 

[middlebrow]

does anyone have an idea why jegross2 is amassing all the available dark lords from the area? Or simply, Jeff what is going on? He/You must have assembled over 100 at this point. Is there a malaysian bank taking dark lords for bitcoins? the first bank of new money?

Using dontdrinkbeer's real name, how edgy.

Gonna fleece some #newmoney wholesale style at DLD this year.

...actually **** that don't do it Jeff. My idea. I'll flip your DL stand over if I see it within 200ft of mine.

He tried to lowball me out of one of a 2012 DL a couple weeks ago. He was saying that he has a trade partner who loves Dark Lord, but I can't imagine anyone would want that many. Maybe he's selling them to an insulin testing lab for diabetes research?
