At one point in their lives, almost all beer enthusiasts have dropped in to the local liquor store to pick up a single foamy beverage.

For retailers, selling them is a way to cash in on broken cases or on locals interested in a more portable intoxicant. That is exactly what some townspeople in north suburban Arlington Heights want to change.
