There will be blood in the streets of Villa Park before that release is over. Someone is going to cut in line, get stabbed, and left on the Western trail to bleed out.

I know it isn't the correct season, but I really wish those were asparagus spears, not vanilla beans.

So, what's new with Cademon?

yes, when other breweries start to make Chicago craft beer great again

until then, no. All Rev talk, all the time.

Did you guys hear about their wrestlemania event coming up with The Beer Temple? That one sounds like a cant miss... must be there

Last I heard he was waiting for the building he’s found to change ownership, then do the remodels necessary for him to open up.... I’m not sure how licensing works but my guess he has to reapply for everything, plus get approval from the city that wasn’t really on his side to begin with. This was about 2-3 months ago when I asked him.

Is the Dixon location closed as well? I can't find anything other than a restaurant guru page that says its open about 12 hours a week in the middle of the week.

That closed shortly after Genoa did I think.

Back to Beer and Beer with coffee in it. Metro Generator is a tasty beverage and the version with metropolis coffee in there so delightful

Green Flash is pulling out of Illinois

 

[SAISON FUCK]

Green Flash is pulling out of Illinois

Does that include Alpine?

 

[SAISON FUCK]

Not that I ever purchased Alpine in Green Flash bottles. Nor do I live in Illinois anymore anyway.

 

[oN3xM]

Does that include Alpine?

Yes it does, unfortunately.

 

[vav1]

They’re pulling out of 33 states and laying off 15% of their workforce.

always loved rayon vert...shame they killed and/or rebranded. Sorry to see ya go but some new handles opened up for some local guys/ladies.

 

[Lansman]

Outside of Anheuser-Busch acquisitions I cannot recall a purchase of another brewery off the top of my head where the purchased brewery was so irreparably damaged after the purchase when compared to the reputation and quality it had prior to acquisition.

How "Real" Alpine vs. Green Flash Alpine was allowed to pass scrutiny from a sheer taste matching perspective still blows my mind.

 

[middlebrow]

damn the hits keep comin...this was or is in illinois?

Thought i saw somewhere that Mendocino is closing too??

Just the beginning of it all.

I should buy some West Coast IPA before they leave.

Is any of the draft Alpine we have here the real deal? I have really enjoyed the Pure Hoppiness kegs I've tried in Illinois.

Nope, everything you are seeing in IL was from Green Flash. While the draft version is better than the bottled version, it still doesn't hold a candle to the original stuff at Alpine (everything produced by Green Flash seems way more bitter than the corresponding Alpine OG stuff).

Trading for original Nelson bottles was a transcendent experience in 2014

its sorta crazy to see the amount of bottles I used to trade for from shorts to logsden to almanac sitting on the shelves as I walk to get an off color 4/6 pack.

Don't you work in acquisitions in A-B?

The price point of the Logsdon stuff kinda sucks. I've been pretty interested to try the new bottles, but didnt David Logsdon leave the venture?

I couldn't tell the difference.
