Has anyone seen the Angel's Envy Rum Finished around the suburbs? I received an unexpected bonus check from work yesterday and I need to commemorate the event with a new bottle of whiskey.

have you had it before? if you haven't, i strongly suggest springing for a pour at a bar first; it's a strange beast. my wife and i, after tasting it at longman and eagle, agreed that there was no way we'd get through a bottle over the course of a century.

Thanks for the advice. I am now definitely rethinking the purchase. I'm mainly just looking for a really sweet whiskey and it sounded like that should fit the bill and until your post I thought most people were fans of it.

I think it's long gone unless a new batch has made the rounds. If you like Huna, you'll love this. I've domed a bottle already over the course of a couple months. Love it.

Never had Huna , not sure how comparable Abraxas is but I loved Abraxas.

sweet it is, but you definitely, definitely should try it at a bar before committing, especially considering it comes at a massive premium over regular angel's envy.

edit: i will let you know if i spot it in the city; it doesn't fly off the shelves so you may have a chance.

I'm 95% sure I could pick this up for you later this week. I'm a big fan of it personally -- the sweetness and the rye spice are an unusual combo that I dig.

Thanks jakeox! I'm going to check one or two places on my way home today. I'll let you know for sure

After reading more up on it over lunch and the fact that I'm unlikely to get to a bar that has it any time soon, I definitely think I'm going to take the plunge. If I hate it, it'll just go out as samples in the boxes I send out to people.

Off Color posted a picture of themselves getting the carriers ready for bottles of Eille to be released soon. Interested to see how this one turned out.

Very excited to try this one given my unending love for Apex Predator.

In other news Lakeshore Beverage did a little teaser about Goose Island putting a pub (not sure if brewpub or just pub) in the United Center. I went and checked the United Center amenities and sure enough it's showing up there now, near section 109.

That's really cool for GI and craft beer. But do any of us expect much other than Green Line/312/Honkers/Matilda/etc?


Although I wouldn't mind sucking down Sofies at a game.

If it's an actual pub with taps I don't see why we couldn't see some better stuff

Gettin' chocolate wasted on $20 BCBS pours.

I just came....FIBS, assemble.

When?

 

[Treebs]

When?

No idea, but I'm assuming if labels are in then probably soon. One of them was sampled out at Zwanze at WLV and seemed ready to go from the check-ins on Untappd.

Longshot, but I'm looking to somehow get a case of Cranbic when I'm in Chicago next month for FOBAB/Black Friday. If anybody plans on going to Wisconsin in the near future, let me know. Will pay you for the case and give you a couple bottles as a thank you.

Wish I knew about this last weekend when I went up. Got only a 4-pack for myself. There was a lot on the floor, but lasting to FOBAB weekend?? Eh, maybe not

I'll be in Wisconsin for work on 10/14 and live in Downers Grove IL. Send me a PM and we can coordinate, and then see if I can find some when I'm up there.

When?

Looks like Saturday at Noon

 

[Treebs]

To cancel Saturday's plans or not...that is the question.
