    It's a well-known fact that beer from Meijer falls off much more quickly. This has been the case since I started buying craft in my hometown, where the only choices were (are) Meijer and The Party Store.

    Can we make this the sticky post on every beer forum and Facebook group?

    All true. We've been seeing ON since April down here in CU. Almost exclusively M-43, but also Cart Horse. There may have been others, but my frequent trips to my local favorite beverage peddler have been greatly reduced the last 2 months due to a lot of trading, traveling, and generous BAs sending me boxes and asking for nothing in return. Bunch of animals that Chicago bunch are.

    Didn't someone post a few pages back that it's getting rolled out in Chicago here soon too?

    Agreed. Nice balance. No off-flavors. I dig em.

    That's what the guy at Capone's told me...Haven't seen it yet and it's been a while. Wondering if he has his facts straight.

    That's a pretty funny map-- "We distribute basically everywhere that isn't Chicago."

    My guess is their production isn't ready for this market.

    Exactly. Chicago is a beast of a market and it takes a lot of product and effort to support it

    M-43 is sitting in the cooler at Champaign Binnys as of today. It's actually been there the last 3 times I've been in. Little farther than Sycamore though.

    I really like the Citra in Helles. The Tarnt line has been real solid and I'm not usually a sour person. They have all been, for lack of a better word, very sessionable. And refreshing. Haven't had Cherry yet though.

    Corridor took silver in the category double hazy IPA,
    Alarmist took gold for Le Jus in category hazy IPA
    and Eris took bronze for Foiken Haze in category hazy IPA
