So I'm planning on visiting some friends out in Springfield (really Jacksonville, IL) in a couple of weeks. We all love good beer, so I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for any places we should hit up?
I don't know about Jacksonville, but what I miss most about Central IL is Friar Tuck's.
If you're driving across the state and have got time for a stop, The Blind Pig in Champaign is wonderful.
Yeah Jacksonville isn't exactly.....Springfield, being that it's 40 mi. West of the capital.
Friar Tuck's has what is undoubtedly the greatest selection of beer in our area. What their website doesn't note is that they also carry homebrew supplies. This doesn't really make them an LHBS, though, because the stuff is just stocked in a corner of the store, and no employee seems to know anything about what's on hand or how long it's been sitting around.
