    I'm not a fan of Triton, or many of Sun King's shelf beers, but Grapefruit Jungle and Fistful are both spectacular.

    Wee Mac is a great beer. Their cream stout is a great intro beer/girlfriend beer as well. I haven't really had anything from Triton that I've liked though.

    Stupid question, but i'll ask anyways. How are you guys getting to/from hotel to the event. Are Taxi's readily available throughout the day? First time coming out and most likely will be staying in Hammond or Schererville and definitely will not be driving. Let me know options for transportation to/from. Appreciate your help!

    My girlfriend that loves stouts, sours and hop bombs is highly offended.

    Taxis are definitely bountiful there. We're staying in Schererville and driving out since we're tailgating, but most likely will be taxi or Uber'ing back.

    Taxi's are DEFINITELY NOT bountiful. You can get a taxi there, but it is nearly impossible to get a taxi home. Can't vouch for Uber, but I assume that would be nearly impossible in that area as well unless you pre-plan it with a driver before.

    We must have gotten lucky. When we left last year there were a bunch of taxis on the north end waiting for people to stumble out and acquire their services. Shrug.

    Interesting. Last year definitely would be a first then. Maybe all the other local city cabs are catching on. What time was that? But maybe I assume with the options of Uber/Lyft, its easier than in the past.

    But again, I wouldn't count on it being this easy most of the time.

    I don't know that it's their souls the Dark Lord should have mercy on.

    To be honest, like 2pm. So definitely not at the end of the festival. Probably unrealistic of what is the norm.

    I live local too, and I read an article in the Times a few weeks ago about one guy who is Uber-ing here. But, definitely not something to count on...
