    The neckbearded generals are already gathered in their masses...

    EDIT: Seriously though, love the Geezer Butler reference for the hazy beer. Hopefully I get to give this a go.

    I seem to recall with Todd H. joined FFF some mentions of them opening a location in Chicago that Todd would run with his wife where she could focus on the food, etc. Can't find the link/article but the reference to the brewpub in this article & the response from FFF makes me think that could be in the near future.....

    I had the same thought. It was west on Chicago Avenue or Grand or something like that...

    Yeah, it seems pretty obvious that this is going to be the joint in Humboldt Park.

    My neckbeard hairs just stood up and my pants got a little tighter...

    But seriously, I am very much looking forward to this. That Lazurite is supposed to be very good, and the other look intriguing.

    Based on the Trib article, it doesn't look like any will hit distro until September at least.

    Edit - actually now that I read the quote, its not entirely clear when cans of Lazurite will see distro

    Lazurite is very good - had it on tap several times at the pub.

    Likely to have Mikkeler's distro? Here's to hoping some cans make their way to Michigan.

    Lazurite was on tap at Floyds for a while. It was good, but nothing to get excited about.

    3Floyds also sold bottles to-go for a brief period. I remember it came out the same time Lazersnake was first bottled and I got both at the time. Lazurite was fine, but Lazersnake wast he clear winner to me.

    Yo, give me ALL of the Lazurite. That's a pheonomenal beer to me....I may be in the minority there it looks like. The cans are also some of the coolest I have seen.

    Yea, I'm actually surprised more people aren't talking about Lazurite. I absolutely love it. I pick up another six pack as soon as I run out.

    I finally got some Sunday night and I really enjoyed it. Certainly not the "hot" style these days, but as easy drinking well made IPAs go I really enjoyed it.
