    I just grabbed a 4-pack of the 8/4 Cirrus myself, and it's damn good; reminds me of one of the lower ABV Corridor NE IPAs. I'm definitely going to start checking out Hailstorm's stuff again now.

    Been mentioned in other threads, but the new batch of Radio Swan canned 9/11 is outstanding. Pretty sure it is the best IPA from IL that I have ever had.

    It's been 16 years, but finally, we can associate 9/11 with something positive....

    Nick, Binnys Naperville gets Hailstorm - you might try there? It certainly isn't like the FR stuff where its flying off of shelves the day it gets there, so you should have a chance.

    Expanding Symmetry from Saint Errant is great. The aroma from it is unreal, and it has a great, citrus explosion on each sip. It reminds me of early batches of Check 1, 2 and Funny Gummy.

    I'd definitely suggest hitting up Mikerphone for a taste on draft, or grabbing some bottles

    Did someone say middle brow? New batch is mosaic. More juicy/hoppy, thicker bod (ewww gross), less belgo'y. I'd give it a 3.8/5. Just bought some Vic secret and dialing in some other issues, sells out Vic secret probably in November. Again, it's a weird belgo/faux Brett yeast blend, it's not normal (has anyone coined that phrase to describe their beer, dont think so, right?). Peace & love, peace & love, thanks to those that bought and enjoyed and if you didn't enjoy, tell me about it this time next year and I'll buy ya a pint at our pub.

    Windmill just released 4-pack, 12 oz cans of Wombo Combo. It's really damn good! Tons of Juicy, citrus flavors coming from a pale ale, I'd highly recommend it.

    I will second this. The Wombo is excellent.

    Don't believe so. It doesn't look like they distribute at all, could be wrong about that though.
