Chicago Stout Releases (2018)

You're definitely not a tool. If you were trying to trade 3 for a VR though...

 

Luckily my ISO for the 3 VR was filled with my Vanillanoize haul.

And awfully presumptuous of you to say I'm not a tool without even meeting me.



Wait....what...that's not right.

 

And they're releasing it in mixed 4 packs of cans, one of each variant in a pack. Very interesting.

 

Had a 2018 BBA Vlad last night. Incredible. Probably up there with the coconut they released in December.

 

Also, Sump currently on draft at beer temple.

 

Their taplist today makes me wish I hadn’t moved out to the burbs.

 

Second this. That 4 pack sounds awesome. Great idea. Definitely want to get my hands on one.

 

This feels like the appropriate place for this:

That's a damn fine top three.

 

That moment when you realize your holding 4 of the top 10

Good to see Drago in the top 10. And looks like I might now finally pick up that Begyle Pajama Pants I've passed on the last several weeks. Also, Cafe Deth should be a little higher, but still a solid placing.

 

Drago is imperialist Commie scum. No one imbibe in Drago's delicious liquid. He's on steroids too.

That better?

 

So, if I understand what you're saying, it's the Pappy of the stout world, pre-feature in bourbon magazines?

 

Yes. I'll sell you my unopened bottles at black market prices.

 

Pre-magazine means there was no black market prices - easy to obtain. So...sure!@

Alter and Miskatonic representing the SW suburbs!
Nice!

 

Drago is a great shelf beer. I typically find it a bit hot/boozy but sometimes that’s just what I want.

Fbarber - have you hit the WO Tied House in Oak Park, yet? They typically have it on draft. If I’m in the area at a weird time, I almost always stop.

Edit:
Uhhhh, I mean it sucks.

 

I'm game; I think Drago is a boozy, sickly sweet mess. A truly bad stout.

Normally I'd apologize for offending, but since everyone that likes it wants no one to try it...you're welcome?

 

looking forward to trying drago. we've had a 1/6th barrel at work for a while now so I was holding off on buying any before trying it. But we did just tap Crystal Lake's Boathouse '16 and its awesome

 

Drago is great but not the best BA stout Ive ever had. Glad to see it get some love tho, maybe the bump in populaty will see the price drop a bit. Nice to basically have a decent year round BA stout. BA Hyper dog this year was phenomenal, only beer that tasted that good imo was 13 BCS coffee. Jones dog is one of my go to BA beers and get just about whenever its released. Will have to pick up a couple things on this list as Ive seen them around my neck of the woods. Kinda surprised that there was no BA Spiteful beers and Big Hugs did better than Benthic.

Also: dont know bow this happened but I was able to pick up a bottle of Sump for $16 at Whole Foods. Considering Ive never had it before might be a good way to try it.
