Ya...sounds weird to say about anything but wilds or Belgians. But ya....bottle conditioned. It was a lil goofier as we barely added anything and sorta capped it like you would a lambic and waited for the few damn near dead yeasts to eat some of the pastry. It added a cool complexity to the subtle carb & flavor.

Finally. Chicago has the Hair of the Dog it deserves.

Don't think I've done Goose Black Friday since 2014.. but I feel like I'm down to clown this year.

I was so miserable last year, and then ended up with mostly infected bottles.. I am in full never again rage mode. I’ll catch it on tap at Brixies eventually

Orin is hitting distro? Did we know this? This seems like news. I saw Beer Cellar had it today. If I had less going on today I'd just drive to Glen Ellyn. Is this hitting Binny's level distro?

If I can't score a case of DB Huna while others get shut out it's not even Huna Day IMO.

his Instagram correctly refers to it as his trilby, like he’s deliberately trying to negate the nickname I gave him.

Making a quick trip to Chicago for a friend's wedding...have Sunday afternoon free to hang if anyone wants to toucheth tips. capnmike

First question...is there any place that has More on draft in the city? That DDH Dusty pale ale was killer.

Second question...can Straight Jacket cans be found easily at bottle shops?

 

[wuntrikpony]

Third question sorry...any better options than Bangers and Lace for a great bourbon selection at a decent price? Enjoyed that spot a couple years ago.

I don't think they distro anything. Gotta go out to the brewery. However Forbidden Root and Corridor Brewing both do great hazy IPAs if you are looking for that.

Second question...can Straight Jacket cans be found easily at bottle shops?

Cans haven't been distro'd yet. I think they are coming early 2018. 22oz bottles may still be around.

Delilah's and Twisted Spoke are two of my favs. Great beer lists too.

I'm terrible with Chicago neighborhoods, but it looks like south edge of West Loop.

If I was visiting Chicago hetty IPAs would not be on my list

we are not exactly known for that....

Go to Half Acre and Dovetail

Then Fountainhead for that bourbon.

No it's not. It's a business, just like a brewery. A business that was breaking even, if that. Unionization would have increased wages. No owner is in business to lose money. Not even the Ricketts.

He also completely wiped the websites. infoChicago didn't have a web cache so all of those writers can't use their articles to get new jobs.

No responsible reporter would submit an article without keeping a copy. Of course they have their portfolio to submit for new jobs.
