Head to Binny's Chicago - Lincoln Park for the biggest Goose Island Bourbon County release in Chicago. We’re making some changes based on your feedback. First, we’re opening our doors two hours early – 7:00 am – only at Binny’s Lincoln Park. Keep an eye on our twitter account throughout the day of the release.

Intelligentsia and Goose Island staff will be onsite early in the morning with coffee and some other surprises. Starting Thursday night, our parking lot will be closed to make room for the line. We suggest using public transportation. We’ll have extra porta johns this year, and we’re pumping up staff to make sure everybody in line knows what is going on.

Your most common feedback from last year’s release was about the line, so we’re adding overnight staff and extra safeguards to limit cutting and confusion. Throughout Thursday night, we’re passing out wrist bands as people get in line, 1000 total. This will help us keep count on the line. Please stay in line. Sometime Friday morning, we’ll pass out the actual tickets to purchase your full allocation. No wrist band, no ticket. No ticket, no BCBS.

IMPORTANT: Another common piece of feedback was about allocations and the checkout process. To keep the line moving, we are only offering the full allocation of this year’s releases for sale as one full case (plus optional vintage bottles and extras). It’s all or nothing, and we’re pretty sure you’ll want it all:
2 Bourbon County Brand Stout
2 Bourbon County Brand Wheatwine
2 Bourbon County Brand Bramble Rye Stout
2 Proprietor's Bourbon County Brand Stout
1 Reserve Bourbon County Brand Stout
1 Bourbon County Brand Vanilla Stout
1 Bourbon County Brand Midnight Orange Stout
1 Bourbon County Brand Coffee Barleywine

Plus early arrivers will have a chance to buy this year’s collectible Spiegelau BCBS glass. The first 200 through the doors will also receive a Goose Island tote bag with commemorative book and 2018 poster. Please remember this isn’t a campout or a bottle share – it’s a release of some awesome beer and we want to keep it awesome. Some rules for this release:
NO TENTS * NO CAMPING * NO OPEN FIRES * NO CUTTING IN LINE
NO OPEN CONTAINERS * NO LITTERING

Plus early arrivers will have a chance to buy this year’s collectible Spiegelau BCBS glass.

[Fields will] be the starting QB on an NFL roster at the start of next season. Book It!

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Good on the "No Tents"/"No Camping" rule. Allowing those items are why weirdos show up so early.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Binny's should just do the world a favor and murder those people.

Tents weren't the problem last year. No staff on site to steer the line was how things get jacked up. Sounds like you're going to fix that. Please let small tents and shelters remain. God forbid it gets really cold and someone dies of hypothermia.

It is like they are trying to make it prohibitive to wait in line in the cold. crazy, right?

The menstrual cycle changes among Hassidic Jewish women was something as well.

I showed up at my local guy at 9:58 AM last year (He opens at 10:00), and I bought a shit load more than that, and I didn't have to wait in line with insufferable people for 5 hours in the freezing cold. Do people not realize that more places than Binny's exist?

What are you doing Goose Island?!?!

These variants are simply a cash grab.

The menstrual cycle changes among Hassidic Jewish women was something as well.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

per tradition i opened one from a previous year on Black Friday. 2016 this time. still have one left and a few 2017's. still haven't bought a 2018. judging by last year, i don't think i will have to worry about finding them.

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

I had a 16 on Saturday night...I liked it better this year than I did back then. I still have a half dozen of the 16's left, a couple of 15's and one from last year (I think).
