October 14, 201114 yr FRANK THOMAS Big Hurt Beer Launch Party Binny's South Loop Saturday, October 15th, 11-2pm 312.768.4400 http://binnys.com/blogs/post.cfm/frank-tho...er-launch-party A chance to meet Frank and be one of the first to try his new beer.
October 14, 201114 yr What an awful can design. Nothing makes me want to drink less than thinking of an athlete's back sweat.

October 14, 201114 yr It'd just be so awful though if everyone assembled ends up hating it. Right there in front of Frank Thomas
October 14, 201114 yr As a huge Frank Thomas fan my whole life, I can say with confidence that I have absolutely zero urge to drink "Big Hurt" beer and probably never will. Just like I have never had Mike Ditka wine, salsa, bloody mary mix, or whatever the hell else he sells. (The steakhouse is great though)
October 14, 201114 yr I've already heard that it is awful. That being said, I plan to get super drunk on this at least once.
October 14, 201114 yr How wide of a launch i this getting? I want to buy some. I live by a huge alcohol warehouse, they better carry it.

He must still be using the same marketing and PR team that prepped him for his infamous Jackie Robinson interview on Nightline.
October 14, 201114 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 14, 2011 -> 10:53 AM) Just like Sam Jackson, s***'ll get you f***ed up. you'll be f***in' fat girls before you know it!
October 14, 201114 yr Pretty sure I read this would only be available in Illinois when it was announced, so I'll have to see if some of my relatives can sneakily send me some cans.

October 15, 201114 yr Picked up a few cans from the Binny's on Route 59 in Plainfield. I think that it is good and it's very smooth. $1.79 for a tall boy

October 15, 201114 yr Met Frank and got a picture with him as well as an autographed can, which he signed 'FRANK THOMAS #35, 93 94 AL MVP". In case he needed to remind me.

October 15, 201114 yr Is this really only sold in Illinois? Maybe my dad can find me one when he drives to work in Chi-town.
October 16, 201114 yr It'd be nice if one of these vanity businesses worked out for Frank. This one doesn't seem like a winner.
