pay no attention to the fact the soil has 100 years of molten pollutants.

Adjunct game strong.

does this mean finch is no longer building that initech looking complex on the chicago river on top of the most polluted soil in chicago?

side edit, anyone wanna fund this for team middle brow? its so pleasant looking and fits with modern urban architecture. pay no attention to the fact the soil has 100 years of molten pollutants.

From the Daily Herald article:

Finch's originally hoped to open a brewery site on the Chicago River.

"We negotiated that for like 10 months and it just ended up being too expensive," he said. "At the same time we started looking at suburban sites because we knew there was a lot of opportunity out here to find things like this."

Also, does it make sense to truck in water for brewing from the Lake? I'm assuming it's trucks - maybe they plan to build a giant pipe, instead. I mean, it takes a lot of water to make beer - how is it economical to get Lake Michigan water out to Long Grove?

Is the new site in the far northwest corner of the village?

Also, he must have meant suburbs of Kenosha in that article.

I imagine long grove gets lake michigan water, no? can one you northerners confirm? (EDIT & hat tip to lurchingbeast ) if I had to bet, Finch doesn't worry about its water profile too much but thats speculation.

Well water for most, according to the link I found above.

Wrong brewer. Right collaborator tho. That was Jared. This is Jacob.

And something very similiar to it was @ FoBAB as "Bourbon Barrel Aged Chocolate Barleywine" by Moody Tongue

It was fantastic.

I know - but if you recall - 2011 XOCOLATL >>>>>>>> 2012 Mayan Gold.

Maybe there was a difference in barrels/time, not sure, but the main difference (no Rick Bayless collaborator) had to have some impact.

That beer was fantastic. I hope to see that in bottles at some point in the future.

Rick Bayless's new microbrewery.

 

[user 306237]

and this is who?

From the Trib:
Cruz Blanca
900 W. Randolph St.
What is it: Rick Bayless’ brewery and restaurant
New ETA: Spring 2016
Bayless said construction and permit problems pushed the scheduled fall opening to early 2016. He said, though, it makes more business sense to open in the spring, so he’d rather take his time.

Strangely though, had they named it Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense there would be lines around every Binny's in the metro area.

They couldn't use that name. I think Tired Hands has a blanket trademark on all beer names with 6 words or more

 

[Ferowcious]

Rick Bayless's new microbrewery.

Did they already rename their brewery? I thought it was called Tocayo? Or is Cruz Blanca just going to be the name of the tap room where Tocayo products are served like The Funkatorium for Wicked Weed

Serious question: why do so many breweries these days feel the need to have multiple brands? Just because you put it in a barrel or it is sour or you are using weird ingredients doesn't mean you need a different name on the bottle. It is gratuitous.

most have nothing to do with multiple branding and everything to do with self distributing and getting away from their distributor who makes a lot o money on main brand.

just posting because i want to be on page 666.

also, i've read that the northman (the fountainhead cider bar offshoot) is finally opening in february. i've heard that before, so we'll see if it actually comes to fruition.

A lot of my issue is with places like Stone and The Bruery and other well established brands that feel the need to make more labels. Are they suffering from distributor issues? My other issues are possibly with places that don't really distribute in general, which seems like self-indulgence.

Would the Hill Farmstead brand suffer from an Anchorage collaboration on the shelves across America?

This is not a fully formed thought or argument, but it bugs me for some reason.

This probably belongs on the unpopular beliefs thread, but: there is no good Bayless brother.

NUMBER OF THE YEAST: THE RISE OF HEAVY METAL BREWERS

Usually when people talk about metal's effect on beer, it's in the context of discussing canning versus bottling. And while some of you out there are surely turned on by "under lid gassing" and "seam calibration," there's another metal influencing the brews we drink that most will find much more interesting than aluminum. All around the country, brewers are finding inspiration from and collaborating with legendary metal musicians – and the results are often exceptional.
