    If it opens I'd check it out, but with them planning on opening in 2019 I'm not going to get to excited until I get more information.

    To each his own but I'd rather conduct field research of this species in its natural habitat.

    I feel like a Kickstarter with rewards would work better than a GoFundMe, but thats just my opinion. I also don't think 25k is going to be anywhere near what they will actually need to get this thing off the ground. However, if they can get things figured out, I would be very interested in visiting this place, it would definitely fit well in Chicago

    The campaign started a month ago and hasn't raised a single dollar? Did I read that right?

    This is Chicago. George Lucas has a billion and they won't let him build his museum.

    I wouldn't worry about this getting off the ground. If a Hall's name is attached to the beer museum project, it will only be a matter of time before it gets into debt and InBev will buy it out....

    Yeah this has as much chance as the Lucas Museum being in Chicago. Slim to none.

    They could build it next to the Lucas Museum.

    Since they are so generous - AB can fiund it with all the profit they generated from BC last year. Yes I'm bitter.
