At Transient now. Plenty of Juice, Cromulent, and Flightless left. Would be glad to grab some for anyone but I'm heading to SF tmrw AM so you'd have to meet me in Pilsen tonight or not get it until late next week/wknd. Won't be here long though so hit me up ASAP

Kentuckley drinking so damn good.

Happy Easter y'all.

Foudre 2 - Blackberry was quite good last night.

I have had a lot of hoppy beers in my fridge over the past few weeks, many of them real good and many of them pretty hypey. Flightless is the best of the bunch, hands down.

Opened up a Saison Blend #2 yesterday. As with #1, this was a gusher and a little too effervescent for my liking. Otherwise it was great.

Meant to post this here, but I'm a ******* idiot so ya'll are getting it twice.

Opened up these beauts yesterday.

No gushing on this one. A big head that quickly dissipated. Tons of fruit flavor. Loved it.

My first spin with any of the Ever Expanding Universe series. This is really enjoyable. Fruity brett expression, little bit of oak, great carb mouthfeel. Looking forward to the getting to the other 2 volumes in the future.

My lord, honeystone is the hot fire.

Had one from the first release and was completely blown away. That might be my favorite Transient IPA. I'm trying to block it out of my mind so I don't make the 3 hour round trip to buy some.

Spontaneous fermented beer being released on Saturday. Hopefully the weather is nicer than this weekend. Congrats to Chris on 1 year in Bridgman and on his first spontaneous beer. Wish I could make the voyage Saturday.

Yo, who I gotta blow to get Elon Musk to bore a tunnel under the lake so I can get to Transient more quickly?

I need this beer, but can't be assed to sit in Indiana I-94 construction traffic on my day off.

Neat reservation system.

Now to figure out when to get over there this weekend..

 

[TheBus]

Any fellow Transient members living out in the Geneva area heading up there? Just moved there a week ago. Baby number 2 on the way in the next couple days here but would love to reserve a couple bottles and would obviously give you the cash/PP.

I'll return serve for an upcoming release and pick up your beers and additionally give you some thank you beers this go around. Please message me if this is possible.

Thanks!
Ryan

i'm driving up on sunday to pick up my reserved bottles and trustee for a couple friends. i could potentially trustee for 1 or 2 more as well, as long as you're willing to come to me (albany park area) to grab your bottles.

Was in Bridgman on Saturday. Good times as usual. Foudre 2 w/gooseberries and Rye Saison were highlights. A boatload of Honeystone and 18th Street Collab cans still available. Should be back again on Saturday for the anniversary.

Pastrami sammich from Bridgman Meat Market was most excellent.


Non Transient related, but visited Watermark for the first time since last summer. Lot more impressed than the first visit.
The Bert's Breakfast Stout, Coconut Vibes, Morning Dew, Pina Del Rey and Marzell were all worth drinking.

Anyone in the Western Suburbs making it out for the bottle pickup? Just had baby #3 last Sunday so I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.

You just need a boat, brah. Then a brisk 10 minute walk from Weko Beach.

I have it covered now, but thanks! Though if you're that close to Lombard we should plan to have a beer soon.

Just got to Transient.

Only free time during window.

Probably a touch less than 20 people lined up with 35 mins till open.

There are totally people at the front of the line in camping chairs. I'm curious how long they have been there.

 

[Alum]

Maybe about 40ish a couple minutes before open.

Not bad at all considering.

there's a little left but not much. As for the beer had it both on Draft and out of the bottle and both very good but the bottle is a little drier which Imo makes it more preferable to what he was trying to accomplish with the beer. Draft was a little sweeter with in my taste had a white grape thing going on which was nice in itself.

All in all it was a successful day I say for Chris, great turn out, steady crowd and working with the meat market to have there sandwiches available was a good idea and hope he will continue to do that on weekends thru out the summer season.

 

[tinypyramids1]

sitting in the corner at transient with the wife. anachronism on draft is tasty and makes me excited for the bottles. there are maybe 6 bottles of it left on the shelf. enjoying this day.

edit: when i poked my head back in around 5 est before making the journey back to chicago, they had put more anachronism bottles on the shelf, but i wouldn't count on there being any more at this point without a reservation.

 

[thewimperoo]

A most excellent time on Saturday. Buckley and Swiss sausage from BMM was great.

Congrats again to Chris and Rachel. Looking forward to opening up a bottle of Anachronism soon. Thanks to everyone that shared bottles later in the night.

 

[zieglemt]

Anyone heading over from Chicago this weekend that would be willing to pick up my Anachronism bottles? I could pre-paypal if needed.

I thought I was gonna be able to make it this weekend but it's not looking very likely at this point.

I'm heading over Sunday and I live in the South Loop and work downtown for handoff purposes -- if that works for you, PM me details and I'll take care of it.
