Yep, all the 312 (both the original and the pale ale) is canned/bottled in NY or CO. Fucking stupid that InBev is trying to make 312 a different brand.ernest_t_bass;1617588 wrote:Bought some Urban Pale Ale yesterday, and noticed that it's now bottled in NY and CO. F inbev.

All of their standard beers (312, Honkers Ale, etc) have been brewed and bottled by InBev for several years now. The only stuff that's brewed and bottled in Chicago anymore is the Bourbon County stuff and all the Belgians.ernest_t_bass;1617588 wrote:Bought some Urban Pale Ale yesterday, and noticed that it's now bottled in NY and CO.

It was amazing. On top of the rarer GI beers (like BC and their sours), there were a bunch of other breweries there ... Half Acre, Pipeworks, Temperance, Virtue Cider ... plus mini golf and dodgeball. All free. And all pours were ~8 oz.Commander of Awesome;1617589 wrote:That sounds awesome.

Just tried one of these (the sammy below) after a few Great Lakes.
Not a bad ipa.

If any of you guys have a good relationship with a bartender/brewer/manager/whatever at a local brewery near you, would you mind mentioning this to them? It'd help out a ton.

Thought it was OK, lots of better choices out there IMO.
Picked up some Lake Erie Monster last night. Better than last year's. All-around excellent.

Totally agree but it just feels wrong to turn down a free beer.queencitybuckeye;1618536 wrote:Thought it was OK, lots of better choices out there IMO.

I had some on Friday, liked it so much I had to buy 4 16-ouncers...Wells Banana Bread.
I wasn't sure about it, but it's delicious. I know some have had it on here before. Smells great. Tastes great.

Was at The Brew Kettle on Saturday. They have a great tap list. Had of course White Rajah, and Columbus Bodhi.....but the real winner was El Lupulo Libre by The Brew Kettle. It was so delicious, so unique. Apparently won some national IIPA award. If you see it on tap anywhere, check it out.

36 for me. I wasn't even interested in the pepper beer after reviews of Crime and Punishment, but if you say it was good I'll pick it up if I come across it. I generally hate chilli beers though.

Sadly, from what I can tell I've only had 52 off that list. They have the list to 100 now. Some of those 'Left Coast' beers don't make it here.Mohican00;1620017 wrote:100 American Craft Beers to try list
