Another Chicago Newbie

[BmillaTheBrewzilla]

Hey everyone. I'm new to posting to HBT, but I've been reading the forums for a few months now. I have a couple buddies who brew and helped me get started, but the info here has really helped me up my game. I'm six batches in and I'm already thinking about the next dozen or so. I love, love, LOVE HBT.

Welcome! I'm in the Chicago area as well...let us know how it turns out.

Thorough- I see that you're in Gurnee. I went to high school at Warren. I live in the city now, but I still make it up Lake County pretty often. Happy brewing!

Welcome to the addictive insanity called brewing! And remember: Chicago is STILL a distant suburb of Marengo!

I've never been to Marengo- I have to admit, I'm a little intimidated by the thought of making it around the big city.

Well, "B," Marengo is a place where it's really, REALLY hard to get lost! And we've got a whopping TWO stoplights in town...but many more bars! Great place, if ya love corn and soybeans!

Nice- I wonder how many towns can claim more bars than stoplights. At least it limits the number of stops you need to make on the way home from the bars. Of course, if everyone just drank homebrew, then we wouldn't have to worry about driving home from bars at all.

I'm a Chicago newbie . . . so much so that I think this might only be my fourth post . . .
