    Be sure to hit Dovetail (a few blocks from Half Acre) for one of the best lagers in the US.

    Also, Galactic Double Daisy Daisy will hit distro. If it's even half as easy to find as regular Double Daisy, it will be no issue at all.

    Hey all... would love any updates on Magick is Purple. I'm not sure I'll be able to make it out there today so I'm wondering what kind of line there is. Also if anyone from the burbs is going and not planning on getting a full allocation and/or glass, please shoot me a pm!

    For their first bottled sour, it is really fantastic. I highly recommend trying the TH collab sour also available today. I enjoyed it a little better but both are great.

    They also tapped their last keg of Orin and moved on to Benthic. It was still on when I left, little over an hour ago.

    I might just be doing a brewery crawl through the north side tonight. Lots of great stuff on draft around the city currently.

    Where are you headed? I just stopped by corridor. Interested in other places with quality on tap.

    Half Acre would be a good choice. They have Benthic on tap and just released a new beer.

    Stopped by there right after work. Missed out on benthic but have had it numerous times. First time trying Orin though and I enjoyed it.

    Damn. Already kicked?

    I just stopped at binnys lp for prop 15 (that I just missed, but had a weird, yet tasty, Cuvée with a black lager they had in a pitcher). They also have lagunitas rye cocoa porter.

    Heading to corridor next to try squeeze it. Was gonna move on to HA for benthic after, but if it's gone, I'll head to the bar on my block and drink Hamms.
