    I'm hoping there are enough of us on here that shop this store to keep this thread active. It might be nice to have an organized area to discuss what is available at the store. I live half a mile from there so I stop in frequently. I'll be stopping there after work tonight so can update any new beers they have or if anyone is looking for something and dont feel like calling them I can check it out. Currently am looking for Founders IS....anyone seen it there yet? If you're posting about available beers you've seen there feel free to include the cost if you remember it. I'm not opposed to including nearby stores as well in here (Woodmans, Trader Joe's, CL Cardinal Liquors, etc...). Hopefully we can get some action in here and keep this alive...

    Pretty sure they have it at woodmans as of yesterday. I would call and double check.

    Cool thanks. I'll check out Binny's first since it's closer, otherwise I might just take a quick drive down there to check it out.

    I buy my groceries at Woodman's in Carpentersville all the time and always check out their beer section. I live closer to the Binny's in St. Charles, but visit the Algonquin one frequently as well, I will post here if I see any interesting beers.

    I take classes in Elgin and stop in once a week. I'd definitely be interested in a thread like this. Ill be hoping for some Founders IS to be there on Tuesday night when I'm in town.

    Stopped by today, they had plenty of Founders IS for $11.99 a 4-pack. In the case in front they had DFH Hellhound ($12.99 I think), about 4 or 5 of the 50/50 Eclipse variations ($29.99), and I think Stiegl DIPA ($19.99?). They also had the new (to our area) Deschutes and Kona beers, in 6-packs and broken up as singles in the mix-a-six section. I didnt hang out for too long so didn't notice much else.

    Any word on if Black Note 4 packs may be hitting Algonquin? Or will those just stay in the downtown Binnys locations?

    No word from my distro. My guess is not out here.

    Wanted 50 cases of Hopslam; I'm only getting what I got last year. 30 cases. Probably next week, late in the week.

    Will the hopslam be in the glass case and will there be a limit on bottles/6-packs?

    Nope. I will tweet the minute it's in the door. It will be rationed, one 6 pack per customer. The beer will likely be kept in the back room for the first couple days, before the rest (if any) gets stacked on the floor. Still with the one 6 pack limit.
