Chicagoland NE IPAs (2018)

Not really that crazy. They're using Begyle's canning line. Mike will have to buy his own.

 

Maybe we’re disagreeing on what constitutes crazy, but the fact that Saint Errant got their start at Mikerphonre’s facility and is canning before Mikerphone is pretty interesting/strange. As was mentioned, it’s a different scenario, but it’s still crazy in a “who would’ve thunk it kind of way”.

 

I didn’t mean to make a judgement on Mike or Mikerphone. I understand his situation is different and respect that. I just was commenting on that it was great such a small brewery was already making that that change. And yeah, like everyone else on here I read they were canning out of Begyle a few pages back.

 

Yes, but when does it distro?

Anything new or batch noteworthy? Heading out of town this weekend and would like to take something along.

 

The smaller you are the less commitments you've made and more nimble you can be. St Errant can be more nimble than Mikerphone, who can be more nimble than Revolution, who can be more nimble than Sierra Nevada, who can be more nimble than AB-Inbev. I get what you guys are saying, but it's not weird or surprising to me at all.

That St Errant can looks sweet, for sure.

 

I'm really happy with the newest sour ipa with orange juice we made at Illuminated. If you're into that style, check out Mugwump Brunch.

Sounds good, thanks

 

Again, I don't think it's strange. They are a fraction of the size Mike is. Before Mike got his space, he made the switch from "big ass" cans to 750s pretty easily. Saint Errant can jump around and do, basically, whatever they want. We all know Mike wants to start canning too - that's the direction everyone is (or should be) headed.

 

I'm stoked St. Errant is canning and I think they make better hazies than Mikerphone

 

Distro'd yet?

 

I just saw it pop up on Prestige Westmont’s IG today.

 

Should be out and about this week

 

Picked up the Hubbard's Cave V14 yesterday afternoon at Binny's Grand. I normally don't buy IPA in bombers but it was hard passing on buying a bottle that was bottled that day (bottled 5/16). I was very, very impressed with V14. Definitely worth picking up if you come across it.

 

anyone see radio swan cans in the burbs?

 

I think I saw some at Standard Market Naperville

 

Anyone see any Hailstorm Boing Hit stores in the burbs

Thanks @PhilBallins for the radio swan

 

It's not worth it....

 

I second this. When I tried it on draft, it tasted metallic and left a horrible aftertaste.
