As a follow up post, does that coincide with the end of Rosa season?

Yep.

I could have swore that I saw full cans of Oktoberfest in the cold room a week ago already at Rev. Maybe those were for Ohio.

Was genuinely impressed by the Church Street Bell Tower Berliner Weiss this evening. Considering how large the system is there I'm curious how much of this he produced and what his process was, but regardless it turned out really well.

If you see it on tap drink it.

Paletas Tamarindo by 5 Rabbit is one of my new favorite summer crushers. I'm so sad I just discovered it this past Sunday. Super light, mildly tart, a little floral with a nice citrus backing. At only 3.5% it's perfect.

It was only just released. That and Watermelon debuted at GTMW (or at least that was he impression I got from other postings). Watermelon is no bueno. Tastes like the watermelon was overripe. But tamarind is AMAZING!

I saw on BA (ugh) that it was added last year, but the only review is from June of this year so makes sense. I want them to bottle that, pronto.

Yeah, all the Paletas (Watermelon, Mango, Mango con Chile, Tamarindo, and regular Guava - probably missing other experimental ones) have existed in small batch form before going as far back as late summer 2013.

They even did a Pineapple Berliner on Friday that I guess sold out really quickly.

Fun series.

That sounds awesome. One of my go-to summer patio drinks is Jarritos Tamarindo with a shot of tequila, over ice...sounds like this Paletas should sub in for the sparkling flavored corn syrup quite nicely.

Havent seen them talked about much here, but I went and checked out Breakroom Brewing last night and that is an incredible space. Beautiful bar, darts, quick food, and some pretty solid beers actually. I will definitely be heading back.

I met Eric Padilla (head brewer I believe) from Breakroom at Oak Park last weekend and he was a really good dude, looking forward to making it out there soon.

They were handing out crowlers to people in line at DLD. I remember whatever I got being decent enough, but not standout. Pale ale of some sort.

I had plans to head up there last Sunday but they fell through. Going to make it a point to get there this weekend. Glad to hear it's worth the trip.

 

[Alum]

While I found the space aesthetically pleasing, I didn't dig the crowd/vibe.

The bar itself is really cool but then again.. that's what they are known for.. building bars.

The beer was solid but comparable to most other brewpubs around town. A couple standouts, a couple misses. Very mushy middle.

Just my opinion but not really worth my time to visit when making the rounds not out of a dislike but more convenience / my location preferences.
