Hello from the Chicago burbs!

[Bramstoker17]

I've been lurking around this site for a little while trying to soak up as much as I can, so I figured I'd finally join. I've been brewing for just under a year. I started with good ol Mr Beer, and then upgraded to five gal batches. I've got about a dozen brews under my belt, and its safe to say I'm hooked. I'm looking forward to being a part of this community!

and the lions

and then, if the day is perfect, the packers

What's a Li-on?

And yeah, I'd like to see Discount Double Check lose a few more before they right that ship. Really though, of all three, I'd like to see a Vikings loss the most... they've had too good a start for my liking.

Yea who would have thought the Bears would be battling the Vikings for 1st in the division? Though I'm sure that won't last, the Packers are bound to bounce back unfortunately.

i have a visiting cheese-head this weekend. it's always fun when the pack gets stomped, and the cheeser is in the house.
