Huh?

Nompton said:

Oh, I know! I wanted to start sweet and my availability is a bit limited as I live in the middle of a state with very restrictive alcohol laws. I'll keep my eyes out for your suggestions!

Mine is limited too. Bonn is coming in soon and we just got rodenbach so its getting better!

TNGabe said:

Aargh. Must. Stop. Trading. Must resist Oskar Blues for Cali wilds!!!

Haha. I know what you mean. I just finished up a trade that should be here Monday. They are easy, and addicting. Its hard when I find beers that I cant find locally that I like more that what I have access to.

Next up.....Drakes Black Robusto Porter. Incredible nose, great mouthfeel, but a weird taste on the finish. Not sure what it is. Still very drinkable.

I did. He had a coupon code that I'll save me a few bucks which is always a good thing. Thanks!



One BdC before bed. Went out for family dinner at a country store with live country music after a big hike today and ate stuff I usually do not. I don't think mixing brett with fried baloney and chili cheese fries is wise, so I'm one and done tonight.



Won't bore you guys with too many bad pics, but it was a nice day and the 2500' vertical in under 2 miles made me feel ok about junk food for dinner.

Do it!!!!! And hey what do you think about FFF is it actually worth driving there? ( The fiancee wants to go there instead of GR)

I'd say you have a better chance of having a fake b00b stitched to your hand after surgery tomorrow

...and I'll get to NEBCO again, don't worry.

Never had it and it's delicious! Anyone have a rec for a craft beer store in downtown Chicago?

Armanettis, at western and grand. Or Binny's. What part of the city do you live in?

Real Ale pint night tonight. $3 pints and you keep the glass. Why not.

The Sword/Iron swan. I like it. Nice malt, very drinkable

When my buddy stopped a few months ago I think the only bottles were Robert the Bruce or something equally underwhelming. The hype to quality ratio is pretty far out of whack with them. You'd have to go to heart of Chicago, but Half Acre would be well worth the stop. I don't know about these days, but Flossmoor Station is south of Chicago and used to be excellent.

IMHO I would go to FFF if you never been because you can come to gr anytime ;-) but on that same note gr has more breweries in a shorter distance just saying!

If you do end up in Chicago hit up West Lakeview Liquors on Addison just east of Western. Then hit Bottles and Cans on Lincoln just north of Irving Park. Oh, and Half Acre is two blocks from bottles and cans...

Np. Pipeworks Brewing was started by two guys that worked at West Lakeview together and homebrewed together. Best new brewery in Chicago IMO, and if you haven't tried any you're in for a treat.

Have you had Blood of the Unicorn? That **** is incredible.

Not as hoppy as the regular, but tasty nonetheless

My English IPA

Had Jones dog, galaxy unicorn, and Citra ninja. All good stuff. I'm brewing a unicorn blood cider... But blood of the unicorn sounds amazing.

Imperial red (literally blood red) that is hoppy as all hell. Fantastic beer.

King Henry is pretty damn good



Juliet is the winner though

Hard Arnold palmer! Mixed my skeeter pee with ice pick iced tea! Thanks fuzzymitten! Works gonna be great tomorrow!

That for the record is known as not a Arnold Palmer but a John Daly!

Austin Beerworks Wet Hop IPA. Couldn't find much info on what hops they used (jack on their website) but it's citrusy and dank. Burps taste like I stuck my face in a freshly opened bag of hops.

Laughing Dog Sneaky Pete, different than what I'm used too for a DIPA but quite tasty

just finishing a Schell's Oktoberfest. not sure what's next...

Didn't realize until I got this home that it's six months old, but in spite of that it's pretty damn good. I would love to try it fresh.

My HB traditional bock. Malty and delicious.
