Chicagoland NE IPAs (2018)

agreed. its like going to the moon or something.

 

I think it's time for Shawn the Brewery to open. It's criminal if they're making him still make 'regular' Ram offerings....

 

I had it too, it was great

 

Who knows? Perhaps he is being very well compensated for his efforts given the visibility and publicity he has brought to the location. Money talks.

 

Looks like Hop Butcher has another NE Style Beer in the works...

 

Yeah. Plus I think it's cool that they allowed him to use their equipment to experiment in the first place. Not every employer, heck maybe not even every RAM location, might have been as open to the idea. And I'm willing to guess the 'core' beers there help keep the lights on, employees paid, etc.

 

Slush at both Schaumburg and Wheeling locals or just Wheeling? TIA

 

Exactly. Everyone assumes he's going to branch out on his own but not everyone is suited to that type of endeavor. Maybe they are making life there too good for him to pass up.....for now.

 

I can dream of year round Juicy...I can dream....

 

Just Schaumburg

 

Schaumburg is where the action is at.

 

Said my grandfather in 1954...

 

Keep up the good work distracting people with RAM as Mellotron is dropping at local shops today...Capones has it for anyone looking, convenient for those hitting Rev. Taproom event.

 

You blew it! I'm only half kidding...

 

So, did anyone open up a Mellotron tonight? I grabbed a 4-pack, but am not drinking tonight. I'll try it sometime this weekend. I'm curious to hear people's thoughts.

 

Popped a can tonight. All is forgiven for Hoppy Days.

Peach, banana, mango, fresh apple & faint orange citrus. A veritable fruitgasm. I was blown away.

Off-topic but don't sleep on Milkstachio...

 

What? Hoppy Days was an excellent IPA...if you like regular IPA that uses a standard yeast strain.

 

I thought it tasted like pickle juice.
