Chipotle Testing Craft Beer in Chicago

Chipotle has had craft offerings in Colorado for as long as I can remember, not trolling, just sayin'

 

Depending on the city in CO you can find Fat Tire, Sunshine, Laughing Lab, Beehive, Avery, ect.

 

This a great idea... I only go there when I absolutely want a burrito with hot sauce. But with a craft movement behind them.... I would definitely be there 3 times a week, just as long as it was a decent line up!

 

They already have Boston Lager.

 

The ones in RI carry an alright selection. They tend to rotate them pretty often to carry seasonals here. I've even seen some pumpkin ale in their fridge. Mostly Sam Adams harpoon etc. Can't complain.

 

Chipotle is the Budweiser of burrito joints, so this is a wise move.

 

The difference of the two, is that Chipotle is actually tasty.

 

I'm just happy to have a Chipotle in Paris! Not worried about the beer so much, was happy to see that they did offer the preferred Mexican Lager: Bohemia.

 

No way. You guys got one in Paris. J'adore Chipotle.

Hopefullythey'll have some IPA's at the Chipotle I frequents when I'm in the US.

 

Yup, opened about 3 months ago. Not as good as the one's in the US, but still pretty damn good.

Where are you going in the states? I've been to Chipotle's in a bunch of different states and have never seen a selection outside of the typical "mexican food beers" Corona, Modelo, etc.

 

Taco Bell is the Budweiser of taco joints. Chipotle is the Boston Lager.

EDIT: Heck, I like Chiopotle - it might even be the SN Pale Ale!

 

It varies by location here in Mass. Very limited selection with only a couple of local offerings like Sam and Harpoon.

Chipotle is like the blue moon maybe

 

is there an echo in here?

 

I don't really see this working that well, at least not for why I go to Chipotle. I go to Chipotle when I want a quick burrito - at lunch, during a road trip, when I'm in a hurry, etc. I don't foresee myself wanting a beer in the majority of times I want to go to Chipotle, and I see myself picking more of a sit down type restaurant when I want a beer with my meal. Having said that, a small craft beer selection will only add incremental sales for them.

 

Haven't they had GI year-round stuff for ages now, or was that just Noodles and Company?

 

Yeah lots of joints carry Dales Pale Ale which is surprisingly refreshing in an ice mug with a burger.

 

I was hoping they meant multiple breweries not just 5 Rabbit. I get the whole Mexican tie-in but what's the point of having just 2 craft beers from 1 brewery, unless they will expand in the future?
