[user 306237]

can some FIB remind me, who was the local brewer that had eco friendly peel away can wraps? Thought it was hop butcher but can't find the evidence.

Horse Thief Hollow appears to have them

Is the wrapper not recyclable?

like a 2009 nancy meyers film staring meryl streep.... its complicated (stolen from bojack horseman?)...that can looks familiar

Ask Kate About Beer: Are shrink-wrapped beer cans recyclable?

I went into the off season saying that if they didn't get someone to compete with Mitch for the starting job, I wouldn't watch. At least now I should be able to get a game or two in before Foles gets hurt and I tune out.

Goose's Clybourn brewpub has quite the selection of bottles available for pickup and delivery:
Goose Island (or delivery via GrubHub)

Curious from industry folks here (middlebrow , beeraficionado etc) - if I'm going to use a delivery app, is one more favorable to the restaurant than another?

Fair enough! I know ordering direct is best - but it’s not like most restaurants have that kind of infrastructure.

Grubhub / Uber fees and employee pay seemed to be the shittiest, Caviar slightly better. As with most things in life...larger the corporation, larger the executive/management employee pool to pay while the gig workers get screwed. Grubhub just ran a feel good commercial in light of this, imagine if instead they paid all their employees one more dollar an hour and didn’t run an add during a Fargo rerun on Hulu.

middlebrow making life better with easy no contact pickups and holy **** this Pith is good. Nice to pick up a bottle of natural wine and a tin of mackerel.

But **** the city for not actually finishing the far-West Division resurfacing, leaving potholes all over and a blown tire on my car.

 

[user 306237]

This one stings. I’m afraid for so many other small restaurants that won’t be able pick up again once we get on the other side of the curve.

Kinslahger did a local delivery that wasn't perfectly planned but I got my order this afternoon. Included in it was a crowler of Ein Beer #5, their fifth anniversary beer. Apparently it is a blend of their doppelbock aged in rye barrels from Quincy Street and their Marzen. 8% and has the mouthfeel of a 13% BA barleywine. And that's the closest style I'd compare it to: all brown sugar and malt sweetness. This would get every BiL dick hard if you gave it to them. Top tier ****.

I'm biased and don't drink as much as I used to but every year these guys put out one of my favorite beers.

 

[RedCoffee]

I'm probably late to the party on this but BA Class War from Off Color is spectacular.

I’m really digging the Piglette Grisette from
Brewery Bhavana that I picked up at Beer Temple a few weeks ago. A banger like this in 4 pack cans is hard to find. Wish I’d grabbed more.

 

[lb304854]

Blackberry Fox in the Woods maybe isn't as good as that last batch of Fox but it's drinkable as **** for an 8% foedre beer.

Oh and Coffee Dinosmores... ****.

what a beer

Anyone try Alphabetical by Hopewell/Hop Butcher? I think it's my favorite local beer of quarantine so far. A hoppy lager that is good but composed. That's a good trick these days as balance is something no one cares about anymore.

Had been wanting to try it, but didn't see it on Beer Cellar's site today. However, I did spend like $200 on Afterthought and Fader Pils.

I really dug this beer, as well as their Zwickel and Off Black. It was unusual to have that grungy hop flavor so pronounced in a lager, but it worked. They're doing a really nice job, along with a handful of others, of pushing lager interest in Chicago by keeping it new and different. That's what it will take to bridge the gap over to new fans but I'm all for it.
