    Well that didn’t quite work out as planned. Left the house about an hour ago and 5 mins later some old lady ran into my car. It’s drivable but had to turn back. Worst beer release ever.

    I think we can all agree you missed an opportunity here. With some persuasion, that old lady could have proven to be a valuable beer granmule.

    (Hope everyone/cars are ok!)

    it's like the idea in the seinfeld episode for jerry and george's idea for a sitcom: someone hits jerry's car and is sentenced to be jerry's butler. but with me, she's sentenced to be my granmule.

    sonnava.

    Thanks man!

    I live in Berwyn, but I'd looking to get some at the Binnys on Grand Ave in the city (unless the Binnys in North Riverside is getting it).

    This just further proves that old people are a detriment not only on the economy/society but beer releases as well.

    I grabbed an extra pack of each for a BA'er if anyone is interested. I'm right by the brewery. Had a Snoochie last night and it was amazing

    Finally got to try Snootchie. Pure Ganja Hop murkiness. The hype was real. Toro was also pretty good but I was too impressed by SB to really focus. Picked up a four pack of Snootchie Bootchies, wishing now that I bought a full allotment of both.

    Bonus: the burger was really good too.

    Yesterday- it was amazIng! So many of you guys came out and i truly appreciate that. Thank you!!!! I had a great time and I hope and think you all did too! Saturday releases seem good for most? I think I may stick to that after GT. We had people drive from 3-4 hours away where they couldn’t normally do that during the week. The vibe was great... i just wish i could have hung and drank with everyone all day :wink:

    Remember Ghost Tropic will be Thursday March 8th for our Anniversary party! We will tap some amazing kegs from us and some bad ass guest kegs.

    I think we should do a share March 13th? Love to get these rolling if you guys are all in? Once a month if we can.

    Again- thanks for the support yesterday-

    I gotta say weekend releases work great and vote for that route in the future (even if it means I can't sleep in as late as I'd like too)

    I mean, it was available pretty much all day. You could have easily slept in.

    Yeah, until those dreaded <insert favorite not from Chicago group> start showing up with their granmules.

    “I had a Forbidden Root cellar when I was growing up; it’s where Uncle Mort kept his taxidermy supplies. Where am I from, you ask, sonny? West Virginia, of course. I guess I wasn’t paying attention when I backed out of the parking spot for Bingo night, but this nice young man from Indiana said it wasn’t an issue if I did him this one little favor...”
