Toppling Goliath in Chicago (2019)

Lol, who cares....?

 

id buy king sue all the time, what a really fantastic beer. really happy it is being seen regularly in Chicago.

 

Does anyone know when we might get the DDH Pseudo Sue cans?

 

best guess, within the next week or so. looks like it was canned 8/4 and we usually get it within 2-3 weeks of packaging most drops.

 

My guy at Binnys said probably by Wednesday.

 

It’s on some shelves today.

 

any opinions on ddh psuedo? i know its been released numerous times in bombers, interested to know how this round of cans is.

 

Very good. Had one at MD day and enjoyed enough to pick up a couple 4 packs. Also was about $3.00/ pack cheaper($15) at the brewery then what they are getting at local stores here in Central Iowa($17.99. The price point is a little weird since you can get all their DIPA offerings for the same price point, but I digress

 

Morning Delight will be available at the following Chicago/Suburb locations:

10/6 Bavarian Lodge (Lisle) Noon-3
10/10 Harp & Fiddle (Park Ridge) 6-9
10/17 Monk's Pub (Chicago) 4-7
11/14 Empire (Naperville) 7-10

Also, KBBS lottery ticket registration begins this Monday at 9AM through Midnight Tuesday.

That is all.

 

So, this is obviously not Chicago but I live in Ft Wayne and the best craft beer bar here has Mornin Delight on tap. Went on Friday, and as of about 3 EST today, they still had it when I went to try.

It’s very intense...but I found all of the flavors to be equally intense. A 5oz pour is plenty. Glad I got to try it but it required very little effort on my part.

 

ive hated on many batches of PS, but the one's canned on 9/3 remind me of that batch from 11/17.

 

I would buy Pseudo Sue on the regular if it was in my local beer shops but $100 for a 12oz bottle of any beer seems ****oo to me...

 

I agree. Went to the Mornin' Deight release, had two drafts ($5 each) but passed on waiting an additional five hours for the two Term Oil variant pours and two 12 oz bottles for $120. Made it back in time for Revolution Superstructure/Base pours and Base take home cans.

KBBS release doesn't include access to purchase a draft KBBS pour, I'm not registering but thought others here may be interested. I will hit a MD pour in Chicago/Park Ridge. Not sure if they distributed these kegs here in previous years, but I am glad they are locally available this year (and elsewhere including Fort Wayne as posted by vicodin tears).

 

I've had a couple Term Oil variants and they just didn't impress me at all. I really enjoyed MD when I had it but I had one pour and didn't really feel the need to have it again. I can't imagine KBBS would be worth $110 to me.

 

I won for KBBS last year and we did a share of Mornin Delight and KBBS - both the 2018 release. Most of us thought that, while KBBS was great, Mornin Delight was better.

 

Agree on Term Oil but MD (b5) was one of my favorite beers of all time. $110 is steep but depending on amount of enjoyment it brings, you can argue spending an equivalent amount on wine isn't out of the ordinary. Again, $110 is absurd.

 

I apologize, I incorrectly stated 12 oz vs. the 22oz MG bottles for purchase. My 5 hour wait reference was the difference between the time I arrived and my assigned session time of late afternoon. It was great everyone had a chance to try the MG during the day, I had the same 10-15 minute wait in the TO/MD public release line as you experienced.

After my two MG pours, and considering the cost, drinking options for the next five hours, and need to drive and the return trip drive time to Chicago, I decided to pick up a few other to go options and not wait the five hours for my session.

I hit a few breweries the preceding days (New Glarus, 3 Sheeps, Central Waters ending with Surly Friday evening) so the entire trip was well worth it, and I'm glad to try MG again in Chicago.

 

Does anyone sign up for these lotteries just to see if they can win? No way I'm going to make it out there, but really want to have that dilemma.

$100 was like my all in Prop Day expense for bottles of 2 Prop, 1 Vanilla, and 1 Prop 2017 if I recall correct. KBBS is too rich (price wise, not flavor) for my blood(metaphorically speaking as it probably is very bad for my actual blood).

 

It costs $10 per ticket, so probably not.

 

If you paid to register then you bought the wrong bot
