Thanks Chuck! I've got a few bottles now - anxious to give it a try.

Lybaby: As a south sider who pesters distributors all the time for a living, trust me when I tell you that in this case, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. This can't be faulted totally on River North/City Beverage. For a big beer house, they actually do a great job servicing their accounts. If not, you'll be sure Goose Island, if not the accounts themselves, would let them hear it. Get enough people to pester Binny's, the Co-Op, and Kenwood, and they'll make sure to keep it stocked for customers.

Chuckles, After I buy all the Demolition I can afford---which at times is substantial---the liquor and grocery store in my neck of the woods run dry for weeks. Apparently the distributor guy is not giving those of us on the south side the love (and the amount) of Demo that we should be getting. Trust me I pester my peeps at Binny's, The Co-Op & Kenwood all the time.

Donkeypuncher: I guess I should have mentioned where I bought mine. Lush Wine & Spirits is where I found my bottles.

These beers make Guinness taste like Corona Light. While I love my dark heavy beers, I tried the Bourbon County Stout and it kicked my ass. It was like drinking molasses.

Lybaby: Demolition is available year-round. If you can't get your hands on a four-pack, you aren't trying hard enough.

What about Demolition Ale? It's my favorite beer of all time. Life isn't worth lving if I cant get my hands that tasty little brew.
