Great thing in Chicago on NYE, all the public transit is $.01 to take. It's a great idea to keep people off the roads while intoxicated.

I'll be drinking sum of my coopers Canadian beer I made 2 months ago used spray malt,

Happy new year yall

oh man, how i miss that great city! i think the public transit here actually shuts down @ midnight on NYE. (which they think is a gift, seeing as catching a bus here after 10pm is a miracle on most nights)

as far as what we're drinking; pumpkin ale (great recipe, Onipar), Simarillo Pale Ale, a great Big Red (if the keg makes it through tonight), My Best Bitter, whatever special beers Surdyk's has when i get there, and hopefully as LITTLE champagne as possible.

Happy New Year! And to those of us who don't live in chicago, or who were forced to relocate from said city, don't forget your cab fare!

Often cab services and towing groups like AAA offer free rides (obviously you should tip) after midnight on NYE. They do here in Portland.

Their Bavarian Doppel Weizen is outstanding. I love Lagunitas!

I'm currently drinking a belgian style yeti imperial stout from great divide brewing co. I also have some various brews from Alameda and some Jubleale in the fridge. I'm set for the evening.

Really? If you liked that you will love everythhing else,that was actually my least favorate had a hot alchohol presance i couldnt surpass,not my favorate style either,but everything else was incredible that ive tried for the most part.
The only great divide ive ever had was a harvest fresh hop ale.Which was really nice.Wish i could get some of the others.

I just opened my first ever home brew! It was an Octoberfest kit but I used an ale yeast. The kit I ordered was a pale ale kit but somehow they sent the wrong one so I brewed it up and it's good.

Weizenbock homebrew, Bruery 4 calling hens, Kasteel Rouge, lost abbey gift of the magi, trader joes 2011 vintage ale, gingerbread porter homebrew.

Mixed up som Ed Wort's apfelwine and a splash of 7up. So dangerous and so good.
