I am going to be in town for the Manchester United match at the end of July. I am looking forward to buying some beers I cannot find in Georgia. Does anyone have any recommendations? I checked out the Ratebeer suggestions, but there are quite a few. I am looking specifically for Three Floyds, Deschutes, AleSmith (if I am lucky enough), Jester King, Maine, Surly, and any other recommendations you may have. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Cheers!
West Lakeview Liquors. http://www.wlvliquors.com/ Beer Temple is very good also. http://craftbeertemple.com/ No Alesmith in Chicago. You'll have to travel out of the Chicago-land area to grab some of that. Rockford, etc.
There are many prior threads on this topic, in this forum. A quick search should uncover a wealth of material. Just know that Alesmith does not distro to Chicago (only to NW / Central IL - I believe below I-80). They distro to Wisconsin though, so if you're willing to drive right across the border (as you should, at least to get New Glarus), you can get Speedway, Old Numbskull, Wee Heavy, etc. You can only get Jester King at West Lakeview Liquors, the spot linked by @DarkMagneto . You can get Surly, Deschutes everywhere (in fact, Mirror,Mirror; Not the Stoic; Black Butte XXVI; Jubel 2015 are still on the shelves here). For Maine beer, make sure to get fresh bottles. For stores, I say Binny's Lincoln Park, Binny's South Loop, Binny's Grand Ave or Lakeview, Beer Temple, Bottles and Cans, Archer Liquors (the last one is on the SW side, so maybe a bit out of the way)
Another place to try is Fishman's liquors. A little out of the way but they carry over 700 beers and a lot of stuff you can't find at other places. https://www.beermenus.com/places/2545-fischman-liquors
