I honestly don't know, assuming one is a beer, most likely this Juice Machine, twitch is what tweakers do.

Twitch is a video streaming platform focused around video games. It was purchased by Amazon for 970 million in 2014 and at the time held 43% of all video streaming in the U.S.

They added an IRL section to allow streaming real life instead of video games, the most popular channel being one twitch itself hosted of a Bob Ross marathon which received 5.6 million unique viewers.

The appeal of the platform is that anyone can stream and the software makes it extremely easy. Several well known streamers generate significant income via advertisements, subscriptions, and donations. The most recent notable streamer is a 27 year old named "Ninja" who gained popularity playing Fortnite was bringing in an estimated amount of 500k a month during his peak.

It's some serious ****.

In fact on average there are 1 million viewers at any given time and it's on the rise. ESPN peaked at 1.5 million concurrent viewers in 2017.

Is this the same Haymarket in Chicago? You're not missing much...

Yup. A few years back they, like Transient, decided to set up a second production facility in Bridgman for what I presume are cost reasons.

Twitch. Pfft.

Haymarket wanted a location in Chicagoland, but couldn't find anything in the Chicago proper or outlying suburban areas that fit their needs. Moving to MI provides a fair amount of complications as you cannot self distribute across state lines (same for Transient who needs to have a distributor bring those products into IL).

Also, for what it's worth, Transient is named as such as they never had a "production space" in IL, they brewed and bottled at Hailstorm, Aquanaut (RIP), and started at One Trick Pony as a gypsy style brewery.

To me it tasted like liquid meat.

A 7oz is the best shower beer.

It's that "but, yet" part that really gives it some zazz.

They need to bring back Shiner Smokehaus.

That **** was delicious.

From my beer fridge.

Haymarket Bridgman is canning their offerings, same ownership / head brewer (Pete Crowley), but a different system / water supply / etc...

Certainly not my favorite spot in Chicagoland, but I can almost always find a couple of things on draft (at either location) that strike my fancy. The Defender (hop forward American Stout) has always been solid, I'm a fan of his Belgian hop forward offerings, and some of his barrel aged stuff is world class when it's on (Indignant, Clare's, etc...).

Yeah the beer was ok when I went, but nothing I'd go out of my way for when there's dozens of better breweries in Chicago. The Banana Hammock Hefe and the Woodford Reserve Indignant were solid though.

Without using Google and just guessing, I'd say that Juice Machine is some stupid, overhyped, adjunct filled hazy IPA and Twitch is some sort of Instagram type app.

Just a regular hazy IPA that the psycho THB fanboys hyped up due to the name/label art. It's a good beer.

From my beer fridge.

Growing up in Texas, Shiner was one of the few non-light lager options available. I liked the smokehaus. I also liked the various German and Czech lagers they would drop as their anniversary beers and sometimes carried as regular options for a while. They weren't mindblowing but they were basically the only moderately hoppy lagers one could find in Texas that hadn't been imported from Germany and sat on warm shelves for months. With the rise of craft lagers over the past few years they would do better to get back into those beers and stop making bland ass IPAs.

That's funny. I came across another kbs mistake in the grocery store the other night.

I looked behind and it was more breakfast stout, no kbs in the cooler anywhere.
