New & Notable

Guinness Black LagerGuinness Black Lager
Building on 250 years of brewing tradition, the brewers of Guinness are introducing a new lager, and they say it’s like nothing you’ve ever tasted. The new brew still has the real flavor and character of Guinness in addition to its lager attributes. The brewers think that Guinness Black Lager is best of both worlds - an easy-drinking lager with the character of Guinness. For more information, check out our blog post.
Rogue 21 AleRogue 21 Ale
21 Ale, an Olde Ale, will be available in the Chicago area exclusively at Binny's, in 25.4oz black ceramic bottles.  Look for the liquid to arrive at most Binny's by next week, but in very limited quantities.  It shouldn't be very hard to guess how many cases of 21 Ale there are to go around. For more information, check out our blog post.
6 Pack Bottles $8.49 25.4oz Bottle $17.99

Binny's Hot List

Bell's at It Again Bell's Oarsmen
Listen up all you Bell’s Brewery enthusiasts; we have exciting news for you. Look for the following Bell’s offerings to hit our shelves over the next couple weeks: Oktoberfest, Hopsoulution, Oarsman, and 25th Anniversary. These four brews should ward off the anticipation of Bell’s plethora of delicious winter offerings.
Session Beer of the Week:
Metropolitan Flywheel Bright Lager
Meropolitan Flywheel
Metropolitan Flywheel Bright Lager is a German inspired beer brewed right here in the Windy City. Flywheel has a perfect head, absolute clarity, and is one of the more attractive beers we have seen. The round body, the clean and crisp taste, and the classic German "bite" on the finish are impressive.
  6 Pack Bottles $9.99

OKtoberfestFall Seasonals Continue to Roll in
When it comes to breweries fall seasonal lineups, Oktoberfest and pumpkin beers reign supreme.  There are some breweries that shy away from these two traditional styles of beers, instead crafting styles not always associated with fall.  Check out this blog post on some of our favorite fall seasonal beers that aren’t Oktoberfest or pumpkin beers.
