What kind of beer is everyone drinking tonight? (3 Viewers)
- Thread starter Memphis Foundry
- Start date
We haven't gotten unfiltered yet as far as I know, although it was rumored to come to IL this time around.
I will drown my sorrows with an Oracle.

EB Unfiltered is amazing. Stone kills it with the ability to get that beer mass produced and distributed so fresh.

Shorts Psychedelic Cat Grass reach there? It was a bit of a war zone in Michigan to get it. Worth it though. Tastes dank af. Tastes like pure weed.

I've heard. I did pick up a Citracado but been looking forward to getting unfiltered.
Ugh...do I really need to go to Indiana. On purpose?

I can't believe it doesn't make it to Illinois. How far are you from Indy? In Chicago proper?
From what I understand it was here before and was supposed to be here this go around. I am in the SW burbs so it's actually a short trip. I am just being an ###.

Jealous of the v1 and Todd. Two of my favorites. Although I can't complain, I'm on hop overload right now. Excited to try Double Two Hearted tomorrow for the first time.
Sure Bet is pretty amazing too. Actually not really a loser in the bunch.
That said, double what????

Never had Sure Bet. Love PW IPAs though. Tomorrow a local bar has an elusive Double Two Hearted tapping. I've never had it but since 2H is basically the godfather of midwest IPAs, I'm real excited but do worry it will be a little more malt forward than I prefer. That said, I think Bells tends to do a great job balancing hops and malt.

I didn't see it -- and the place I hit would have had it if anywhere does, so I don't think so.

Hope so. Been on the lookout for it although based on the list above I should be good for at least this weekend.

A brand new local brewery (with a well-connected owner) apparently is one of the few breweries nationwide that is getting the recipe to brew Arrogant ******* for some sort of Arrogant ******* nationwide tour. Pretty neat.

They still make Concord Grape Sofie every so often? Probably one of the best beers I've ever had.

The one in Oakbrook is the only one around that does and they have a pretty good selection. I hate when I get something at the local shop and then see it at Costco for 2/3rds what I just paid.Costco here doesn't carry bombers, and I think I paid $30 for the bottle of Gillian.

Hmm... my membership would be good there too, right? Might be a hard sell with the wife, though, LOL -- honey, we need to drive more than an hour past "normal" Costco so I can buy more beer...

I'm heading to the horse track in a few hours with a sixer of ice cold bud light limes. Delicious.

I paid $30 or $35 for my Gillian. Havent tried yet, taking Up North this weekend. Also have the other one...Halia I think? Store still has a bunch of the 2015 ones too. Just so hard to shell out for a bunch of $25+ bombersCostco here doesn't carry bombers, and I think I paid $30 for the bottle of Gillian.
Coeur de Lion
Footballguy
Yeah, bombers are teh suck in terms of $ / oz. period. Even if they're in the $10 range, you're looking at roughly $30 / sixer prices. At $25+ it's really hard for me to pull the trigger too. I'll do it once in a while for a limited beer that I know is absolutely great (like the sisters), but it hurts.

Paulaner Oktoberfest Marzen. A little early, but can't wait for Fall.

I only had it once, at Map Room maybe 5 years ago.....I remember it being amazing. I love regular Sofie but that one was on another level.
ETA - it was on tap. No idea if it was ever bottled.

Eh, smaller / local will likely always get the lion's share of my beer $$$, but at the end of the day I'm all about good product, and GI makes some damn fine beers.

I think if you tell her about the new, fancy (something that she likes) is available at Costco for cheap....but only in Oak Brook.
Walk in and they don't have said product anymore because "it must have sold out" but oh wow....look at all of this beer. You had no idea. Since you're here....

Basically, yeah. But it gets complicated. Goose Island isn;t complicated for me.berndog said:
That's fine. Do what you gotta do. I can't justify giving them a dime. They actively strong arm their way on to shelf space and on to tap handles that would otherwise be available to the company I work for and another company I'm an owner of as well as all my craft beer brothers in arms. They blur the pay-to-pay lines, undercut local pricing to gain share, and hold the entire inbev portfolio hostage to get accounts to play ball. They can go #### themselves.Coeur de Lion said:
