What beers are to go, if any?

Question to anyone do they do growler fills?
I'm going to Grand Rapids for work and on the way home a detour is going to happen.

Growlers are only the hoppy beer on tap which currently is Cromulent

bottles to go
Blueberry Maigre
Pineapple Salarium
Cuke Maigre
Grizzled
purple grain
hop drink
more trouble everyday

single cans of regular Maigre also

I really dig Chris's hoppy and wild offerings and I'm not that much of a stout guy but hot damn if this beer isn't fantastic. And to think I almost sent this to a regular trading partner instead of drinking. So glad I didn't. I prefer this over Buckley. A great balance of smooth creaminess and roast.

agree though i'm not sure i'd go so far as to say i prefer it over buckley. fantastic beer.

I signed up for the membership to have easier access to quality saisons and wilds but his stouts have blown me away - that first sip of buckley on tap at the release party #neverforget

I am glad Chris doesnt just settle into one particular style and that he continues to pump out bangers across the board. Defintetley need to try a bottle of this

Two things!

1. Invoices for Illinois have not gone out yet. PayPal is being all weird and I can't get a full list of people to add to the recipient area. It just randomly puts people in and leaves others out... We will get it fixed and send those out the moment we have a second.

2. Shameless plug time:
Tomorrow at our taproom we are releasing one of my absolute favorite beers, Henry. Most of you in this thread know we raise money during our membership events through raffles and tips for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, in support of my now almost 4-year-old Nephew. Over the last 2+ years we have donated almost $8,000 due to your help. With this batch we are donating $1 from every bottle or draft purchased to MDA, and would love to see you all make the trip out to help the cause.

If you can't make it, just liking our post, sharing it, or even making a contribution to MDA through my Sister's Chicago Marathon donation page would be greatly appreciated by my entire family (the people you guys all see volunteering at release events).

Cheers!

That Imperial Peach Maigre is incredible, hoping to see it in bottles in the future.

FYI guys:

Some of you (about 3/5th actually) should have received an invoice from us recently. We are working on getting the remainder sent, but PayPal is having a lot of issues. Since our last email we have been trying to send these invoices every week, using multiple different browsers, copying from excel, word, pdf, plus having sent multiple emails and several phone calls. The people at PayPal are awful and really have no idea what is going on... And neither do we. For some reason our list will not paste into the recipient field properly. At times it will add people randomly, other times it won't let us add anyone, and other times it will just add one or two people from the copied recipients. Either way, it has been incredibly frustrating, and I am trying to get it fixed so you all get invoices. When that happens I will shoot out an actual email, since I am far too frustrated right now to do that.

Thanks for your patience,
Chris

**** this sounds delicious!
The Vanilla variant (because of course!) they had on a couple weekends ago was really nice.

Peach Obelus comin'

 

[PHBoiler]

Peach Obelus coming

I don't care which membership this falls under as long as being an IL and MI member gets one of these in my hands eventually. I miss any kind of Obelus so much. DB Obelus on draft only held me over for so long.
