Chicagoland NE IPAs (2018)

Ah yes....missed that. Thanks all!

 

Anyone know if this is still flowing? Planning on heading over soon

 

Yes, still flowing. I grabbed a pint and 2 crowlers a few minutes ago.

 

Still on @ 3pm...

 

One barrel to go. You guys have until about 7 or 8pm. Our next offering will be on late next week. A double dry hopped pale ale with Amarillo and Simcoe. Working on a possible growler special for next Saturday. Again cheers and thanks to all the haze heads in the Chicagoland area. You keep coming we'll keep rockin' and roll in'!

Prediciton: Roger is going to be head brewing somewhere else within 3 months if he puts 2 more beers out as good as SqueezIt.

 

Thanks Brant!

I think you're safe to go ahead and make Squeezit your signature haze. ;-) Rotate others around it kinda like Weldwerks does with Juicy Bits. It's that good. It will probably become a PITA for the bar but the word is spreading quickly and pretty soon it will be selling faster than you can make it. Good problem to have I guess!

 

Hops are the issue. We are using a considerable amount in this beer, and although for the most part we are secure with contracts if we had to brew this Volume year round it would be difficult. We will do our best to make each batch as good or better than SqueezIt. If we can not accomplish this look forward to many more batches of OG SqueezIt. Give us a shot with what we have coming up in the following weeks and months. IMO they are and will be as good as SqueezIt, cheers.

 

Totally understand that. I definitely look forward to seeing what you can do with other hops.

I bought 3 crowlers today and am drinking one now. I'm planning on sending the other two to my east coast trade partners, but it's really hard not to crack another. Keep up the great work!

 

Been keeping a growler of it on hand. That stuff is bad ass. Supposedly they're fixing two if by citra in their next batch as well so it'll go back to how it was, which was also a solid NEIPA.

 

I cannot get on the Hubbards Cave train, the beers are just too undercarbonated/heavy mouthfeel, almost like drinking malt liquor in a sense.

Corridor though... wow, just fantastic.

 

Cheers to Squeezit! I enjoyed it a lot more than picture of nectar. I am looking forward to seeing what is to come. Keep up the large batches so I can easily make a stop by after work!

 

I ended up having Squeezit, Hubbard's Cave Fresh and Old Nation M-43 last night, and I think I would rank them M-43, Squeezit, Hubbards Cave. M-43 was last, so maybe it was the alcohol getting to me, but I thought it was the best middle ground. I thought Squeezit was a bit too soft and light, while HC was too harsh.

 

You suck. Your negativity sucks. Are you seriously on here all day long looking to complain? (I know that answer). I don't post often but I frequent the forums looking for good recommendations and occasionally giving good tips. I can't be the only person who notices your frequent negative bullshit. Very few of your posts are solid while a majority are snarky and downright asshole; you never provide any useful info but rather take a hindsight 20/20 approach. I actually hear myself say ugh when I'm looking for good info and see your name as a poster considering you never provide good info or help to any ba's. Maybe this is what you're going for but it definitely detracts from my Great Lakes ba experience. To all others who provide good opinions and info, good or bad, you are what the site is all about. I'm not sure what everyone's goal is on here but mine is to help other people find good craft beer, trade locally if possible, and to enjoy all of us BA's enjoying the wealth of tasty options we are able to grab with no trouble. That's all, just tired of this shit. I hope you have friends and drink with humans rather than taking a sip and getting right on your phone

 

...I think he just meant the beer was so good, someone was going to give him his own place?

 

I know that. Just wanted to rattle cages as he sips on beers that are deemed worthy by this beer master

 

Pretty much hit the nail on the head. JoeyKnuckles might want to read up on Mikerphone and StB to see how
talented people in the industry get poached. Wasn't Mike bouncing around every couple months with better offers until he started doing his own thing? If a guy can make multiple beers on a level like Squeezit someone is going to make him a partner in a new brewery or find the money to start his own.
