I'm curious which brewer that was as I've got no idea anymore who the head brewer at Flossmoor Station is anymore.

yamar68 's brother?

 

[Scalzo]

Don't worry, he'll be gone in 6 months.

In that amount of time he will have barrel aged 3 different beers, for 2 months at a time

yamar68 's brother?

Gonzoillini that's the one

not srs.

 

[sidetracked]

He left FS two months ago for 612 Brew in Minneapolis.

oh is that why their game stepped the **** up?

 

[lb304854]

Good for him.

Srs. No sarcasm.

 

[yamar68]

I feel the same way.

Lots more breathing room at 612 and none of the politics.

the TC is much less politics than some of the places here... i didnt know your bro was a brewer Bennett.

Yeah. He started out at Indeed, then moved to FS, and now he's at 612 which seems like a perfect fit. They're about to expand pretty substantially and with that he'll get more creative freedom than he's had elsewhere.

 

[IronDave]

Nice draft list and great cans. . . .to kill a few hours of a bachelor party

If this was a bachelor party, I hope you went to somewhere other than HQ Beercade to see some, ahem, cans

keep me updated i'm always down for another brewery back home to hit up

 

[SSTroller]

I'm laughing more at the guy that thought FiftyFifty's brewery name was actually Eclipse. So ******* #newmoney.

And what, next you're going to tell me it's not half owned by 50 Cent?

 

[ChaQuiseman]

The BA Pajamas is really nice. None of the other Begyle offerings have really wowed me, but I couldn't get enough of the BAPJ.

What the **** is this? (srs question)

It's not a good thing to be regular drunk in the land of blackout drunks. That's when you have to be the remotely responsible one. That's when the club realizes you are. That's when you have to pay for the bottle service so you get the private booth. That's when the rest of the idiots don't realize that free admission wasn't really free. Polekatz was a pretty nice place all in all and the bachelor had himself a mighty fine time. There was certainly something for everyone at that place.

 

[stxSS07]

Won't happen. The owners want it to be the 'neighborhood' brewery. Meaning tons of Gandy Dancer Honey ale for their friends, average bar food, and no beer geeks.

womp womp.

 

[willseph]

Apparently WLVL just put out Proprietor's and Vanilla Rye. Queue the neckbeard stampede.

They have been doing a "hide-and-seek" thing all day. Pappy 23 and 15 are out right now.

 

[jeblikesbeer]

Aaaand they are gone Id assume

[Alum]

#newmoney on CCBE have never heard of Flossmoor Station, because of course they haven't.

I saw that post and chuckled.

Nice - can I use their instagram feed to value Dino S'mores?

The hide-and-seek players were: Abraxas, Bo and Luke, all the BCBS stuff, the Pappys, FW anniversary/BA releases, and finally Dino S'mores!

I personally think the Four Roses Single Barrel Private Selections are the best bourbons you can buy money-wise.

Really? Sweet!

612 sucked at first. Buttery pales and creamed corn IPAs. Haven't touched them since they opened. Glad to hear they have a good, experienced brewer now.

I'll take a Stone's IPA
