    So as a Sox fan, what do I drink to make the Indians take the World Series? :wink:


    Mostly kidding--A win for the Cubs is still a win for Chicago.

    Sounds like it's time to test out that theoretical urine-filter from Waterworld (the Kevin Costner epic)!
    Very true, I'm sure it adds quite a bit to the mouthfeel...


    Thanks guys, this is exactly the direction this thread should be taking! *gags*

    Sorry for the late reply. There is a bar there in addition to tables. Probably a dozen seats or so at the bar.

    Proves my point even more. Send me the Tree House.

    For game 1 of the NLDS, I drank 3 NvU's, 2 Focals and 1 Heady. Idk if could keep that for 7 games though

    Looks like Galaxy Bowl has landed on draft at Village Tap in Roscoe Village. I'll be there. I'll be in a gray hooded sweatshirt; no neck beard.

    I'll be drinking Alchemist stuff most of this week, so if the Cubs do well this week, you assholes can thank me.

    All I ask in return is that if the Cubs win, they wait until next week to clinch (so that I can be in town for the ensuing riots and/or end of the world events).

    I am awaiting a package from Mass. full of Treehouse and Trillium. It will be my first authentic IPAs and should arrive just in time for this weekend.

    Unsurprisingly, GB is also delicious on draft. Slight edge to the can.

    Looks like Lloyd's now claims to have cans of GB; they must be a really good account for HB (which seems weird to me)!

    If you want your beer to stand out, put it on at a place that doesn't have many options.

    But...Lloyd's? I guess I've only been there once, but I didn't think it was the sort of place beer nerds went.

    For those who may be interested in trying Galaxy Bowl on draft, it's currently at Binny's LP tasting room:

    Love that place!

    Also, GB seems to be less hazy there than the cans I have...

    *BEGIN SPECULATION*

    I agree. Less hazy on draft but smooth, creamy mouthfeel in play. Very good but slightly better from the can. I wanted to try both so glad I got it now on draft while it lasts (because you know it won't).

    I literally just posted that exact thing in the WBAYDN thread.

    @bowzer4birdie you liked the can better than draft?

    I think so far the cans are winning 2-0.
