Coming to Chicago this weekend. Looking for drinking buddies.

Cubs are at home against the D-Backs this weekend. Always a good time to visit the Friendly Confines. Tickets should be cheap too since the Cubbies are not doing that well. If you have plenty of excess capital and the Hawks win game 7 against the Red Wings on Wednesday there will be a Western Conference Final game at the United Center this weekend too.
Everyone will tell you to go to Revolution, Goose Clybourn, find something from Pipeworks at Binny's, visit Map Room or Hopleaf. When you get here there will be tons of options. There are also a lot of these threads that you can glance over to check out. Chicago is a great beer town, shouldn't be too hard to find something to do.
I'd come find you, but work calls all weekend. Good luck!
Oh, and bring plenty of Pliny, everyone will love you.

 

Also, totally forgot. There is a large German Festival in Lincoln Square Thursday-Sunday. Although they only serve Haufbrau Original and PBR, it's still a really fun event; and there are plenty of places in that neighborhood to grab some really great brews. Fountainhead is down the street, along with Bad Apple and Wild Goose. In the neighborhood itself is Fork and The Grafton, which generally maintain pretty solid beer lists. I'll be around all day Sunday grilling on my rooftop deck overlooking the Square. Most of my friends aren't super into great beers, but I'll have some things open if you want to stop by. BM me for info!

 

Now that its playoff time, Blackhawks' tickets are pretty much not available unless you go through a broker. Tonight is Game 7 in their series against the Red Wings. If they don't win tonight, their season is over. (Go Hawks!)
For the next round face value on seats start at $185 and go up from there. Maybe some limited standing room but you'll end up near $100 for one of those.

 

Keg's for Kidney's is going on Friday 5/31 6-10 PM. i will be there with 2 other BA guys. Just a large beer tasting over at Fischman's Liquors. Tons of midwest breweries if you want to get a taste of a bunch.

 

Someone mentioned the May fest in Lincoln Square, I'll be there at some point later on Saturday afternoon. But prior to that is a German pub crawl in the same neighborhood.....it's a fun time. It's listed in the events on this website. I'll be representing Wisco. Perhaps we'll see you there!

 

I am new to BA and a Philly transplant living in Chicagoland. Began trading after first DL day this year, hooked. I have galactic double daisy, permanent funeral, GI 25th SIlver Jubilee DIPA, pipeworks cascade/simcoe ninjas. I also have a voodoo lairds apple brandy gran met that I've been waiting to tap into, just hoping to meet some new BA friends. I'm in oak park (very central location) and know of a great BYOB place in downtown oak park perfect for hosting bottle shares, but up for other suggestions. Place is called Mancini's. Saturday night would work, please let me know and I can make reservation.

Thanks,
Dan

 

I think we have a love connection!

 

We may be taking an impromptu trip to Three Floyds on Saturday.

 

If I wasn't going to be on my rooftop all day Sunday, I'd gladly join y'all somewhere. But I'll not be able to host a second group of people, on top of the group already coming over.

 

Im not from Chi town but would be interested in doing something Sunday. Dont have many whalez if we do a bottle share but do have some Parabola, New Glarus 20th Anniversary, La Roja...bm me and let me know if you get something together.

 

Grilling on my rooftop deck, overlooking the Lincoln Square MaiFest. We have some friends coming over, that are not BAs...at all. So, not a bottleshare type event, more along the lines of just chilling.

 

Sunday at Mancini is perfect

 

I'm sans car, so I can't do oak park; but if a bottle share happens to find its way into the city, I could probably swing out and bring some fun stuff.
