    Western Ave, correct.

    If Pipeworks is not planning the brewpub at California/Logan Blvd, that would be news to me. I'm chalking that up to said stranger being from the suburbs and just lumping the entire Wicker/Bucktown/Logan area into one intersection. But who knows.

    NvU is always a treat, I find myself buying more Lizard King than NvU but both are excellent.

    I purchased a 4 pack of 16oz cans from the Binny's in St Charles. I then transported the beer back to my residence. Once home I proceeded to place the beer in the refrigerator and after I deemed the beer to be cold enough to consume I poured it into a glass that could hold 12oz of liquid. After waiting for the head to come down to a reasonable level, I then took a sip. It was very fresh, smelled dank, tasted hoppy, citrusy, with a nice amount of malt, and not completely transparent but not hazy. This is a very good DIPA and despite the price being $20 for a 4 pack I believe it to be worth the money.

    Ok, well now I have some issues. Why pour a 16 oz can into a 12 oz glass? :stuck_out_tongue::wink:

    Lol, that would be an awesome marketing slogan "We cram 16oz of beer into a 12oz can."

    Because it's like a bonus 4 oz of beer when you finish the first 12. You're all like man I wish I had some more, and then bam. Bonus beer.

    Heh, it was actually warmer than I would normally drink it because I'm an impatient person when it comes to drinking new beer.

    This is genius. Even if you don't want more, you're like "well, good, I finished what I was supposed to finish!"

    Galaxy Unicorn has long been my favorite PW IIPA not named Ninja vs Unicorn. And this batch may be the best yet. Worth every penny at $20 a 4-pack.

    Picked up a 4pk earlier today. Agreed. I'm generally not a fan of $20 IPA 4pks but this one is outstanding.

    Just had my first can & agree that it's great. Still trying to decide if it's $7 a 4 pack better than Infinite Galaxy though......
