    Hi All,

    I'll look up all of the places to hit on other threads for breweries and the like, but my wife and I are coming out Saturday and going back Sunday and was just curious if there are any events on Saturday the 21st or any special releases going on that I might be able to snag something while I am in Chicago. I am staying downtown and won't have a car. I know I know, BCBS is the next weekend, but I'll be back home TDay weekend where I can buy as much as I want. Thanks in advance.

    Very helpful everyone. Thank you. Wish I would have planned the trip sooner and been able to snag some tickets to FOBAB. Looks like Haymarket and a few breweries will be on the agenda.

    Looking at that calendar from Reddit -- Abraxas is being released on Sunday at West Lakeview Liquors. Has anyone been to this previously? I would love to pick up a bottle, but don't really want to wait in line for hours to get it...

    I went there 2 years ago while I was in town for FOBAB. They just had it sitting behind the counter. I didnt even really have to say anything the guy working there just grabbed it and put it on the counter for me. Im sure things have changed though.
