What I really enjoyed the most, that FW went really fast and GI had it's own station that had huge lines where they changed out the taps.
His last one out of Une Anne...we should hit his taproom once he opens it up! Or Une Anne's when he opens.
I've had a handful of their beers (satellite co-worker in Denver) and they've ranged from very good to daaaaaaaamn that's freaking great. Wish that they distro'ed here.
When I was in Denver in June, they had a NE style IPA that was unreal. As good as any NE brewery. Tasted like a sweet hoppy meyer lemon.
Unfortunately, Ive been hearing that Dinner is a shell of its former self. The last time I had it I wasnt impressed at all like I was the first couple times I had it. Lunch may be their best IPA now.
At least Midwest. Detroit-Grand Rapids beer drinker here.I think the title of this thread should be changed to Chicago FBGs: what kind of beer are you drinking tonight?

Never had Dinner -- my bro that lives in Boston says it's off of the charts though. Have had Lunch quite a few times and love it.
My MBC connection told me not to bother with the latest batch of Dinner. She was glad she only picked up a few bottles based on how it's been the past couple of batches. I had 2 of the last 3 batches and one was good, the other two were malty and just meh (as far as how good it usually is...it's still prob better than most IPAs)

Celebration is good, certainly. Great? Ehhhhh. The best?
-- Not even in the discussion, IMO. Actually, not even close to being in the discussion, IMO.
Far from the best IPA for pure taste. For longevity and trend setting, it's a land mark beer and one I enjoy every year. I am enjoying it currently.
All Mosaic. It's a 9% double so there's some caramel malt there but it has serious tropical hop. Reminds me of an Enjoy By.
It was awesome. Sure, it was crowded but except for the initial mad rush for the stouts and Goose, it was manageable.
Just goes to show just how different people's palates are -- I love both of those beers , particularly The Sour Peach (although I've only had it in bottles, not on draft) -- not overwhelmingly sour and plenty of earthy funk from the rye and the Brett. I've never had BBA Vanilla Hunter, but have had regular Vanilla Hunter and also BBA Hunter and liked both.
To be fair, Sour Peach was the first sour I've tried there and overall in at least year it seems. It kind of tasted like Alka Seltzer and was early in the event so decided to save liver capacity. I would try it again. BA Hunter Vanilla was directly after 2013 Barleywine which was so damn good and strong tasting that anything would have been a relative let down. I think, like you said, it's a good problem due to the incredible level of quality beers there.
Still trying to get my hands on anything tree house. I might have to take a trip to the brewery in Mass, I think that's the only way I may find it. Where did you get them from?
