Back when this was a beer forum we used to talk about not finding Girardin. Its on lots of local shelves atm. Next to the 3F and Tilquin. If only people still drank that stuff.

Back in the day, they'd send around 16 cases to Chicago once a year. I'd get half at Marcey, Cutler at Piece would order some, and then the other cases would get split out to whomever knew it existed. When i took over at Publican there was less available and i could only get 2-3 cases. Weird it's on shelves.
On a related note, go buy Drie Fonteinen & keep me in business. Thx in advance!

Where? I feel like I haven't seen Girardin in forever.
Yeah I can't remember the last time I saw it on the shelf.

It sat at my local Whole Foods 3ish years ago. I bought a bottle every time I was there.
Just grabbed a 375 at binnys lakeview yesterday. Probably a case on the shelf.

beeraficionado watching a shit football team and drinking a regular-ass Eugene. When can I resolve the latter?
That shit team seems pretty decent now, maybe you should appreciate what you are drinking

This awesome Park Ridge spot that I don't think has ever been mentioned on TB has it. You may also spot an interesting 3F bottle here...

Bad news / Good news on that front. Not until Fistmas runs out this year so mid-late December, however, wider availability and only $9.99 (or $10.99) (depending on the store).
Tonight, my last Lurie Children's hospital silent auction will be for a group of (up to) 6 to get the back room at the Beer Temple and get to pick 3 Drie Fonteinen bottles from a list of heavy hitters. It will post on my Instagram at 7:30pm and run for 24 hours. I will gladly chip in my fair share of a seat if any of you decide to do this.

Speaking of Beer Temple....quite the big news today and I am very excited about this news as a new resident of Lake Bluff with 6 month old twins that allow me to not make city beer runs frequently.

Grabbed a couple of crowlers yesterday when picking up Thundertaker. Froh and Point Du Sable were both top notch. Really miss getting to drink these small batch beers at the Taproom on a quiet Thursday afternoon.

Damn, pretty solid deal if you ask me. Kinda wish I wasn't 3 hours away.
