Keeping Together

art of holding space on draft at Lincoln Park this Friday.

oh, and new dry-hopped mixed cultured saison with honey in bottles ($16)

 

exactly. In my area a table beer is a relatively rare find at a brewery, so when I find them I do like to drink them.

 

I’m still sad no one went for the easy joke. Fine, I’ll tee it up since I’m such a nice guy:

Well, @mbockstruck30 - what WOULD it be if it had a much higher ABV?

 

If it has 4 legs it's a table beer regardless of ABV...

 

no, no, no.

a table beer necessitates a low ABV.

a beer with a really high ABV is an “under-the-table” beer.

Ho Ho Ho. Haw haw haw.

 

Cinderella story, out of nowhere, former groundskeeper, now, about to become the Masters Champion. It looks like a mirac - It's in the hole! It's in the hole!

 

“...but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.” So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

 

Okay, so I expected nothing and am pretty impressed. Picked up the Architects of Harmony(hopefully the HA closure will allow me to grab another when they reopen) and am really digging it. Vibrant, fruity, well balanced. Easy drinking. My one big complaint is how do they brew in HA with access to their equipment but can’t put the abv information ANYWHERE- not bottle, not the gram, not the website?

 

One of my biggest pet peeves. Help me be responsible, please.

Beer information is listed on the Half Acre menu.



I do agree it should also be printed on to go bottles for sale.

 

So in order to find out the ABV I have to go order a beer at HA? Which is closed.

 

If you have an internet connection, you can check the HA website.

Nice - can't wait to try some of these in-house offerings next time I'm in Chicago. Whenever that is. I'll be honest - if I lived there - I would have been calm UNTIL HA closed the taprooms.
Keep on keepin' on, Chicagoans. Weird times. Drink some good beer. Cheers.

 

After some thinking, I'm just not going to buy their beer until they put it on the bottle. Ridiculous to expect the consumer to have to do research to find info about your beer. Who is looking on the draft page for abv of carryout stuff? The to go page would make sense for the info, the instagram beer announcement page would as well, as would the brewer's website.

 

yeah! Make your stand! Nobody buy this beer!

(makes room in cellar to buy more)

 

I pass over any beer that does not list the abv, unless I know the beer (ala pretty much all of FFF's lineup). I just don't feel like wasting time googling beers while standing in the Binny's aisle.

 

Seriously, I would load up on it...if I wasn't boycotting. Maybe have the furloughed HA employees write the ABV on it with a marker as you buy it.

 

I'm willing to bet this was an oversight and no fault of the 320 employees of Keeping Together Incorporated.

 

I know. It's almost like anybody can just go over to their friend's place and brew out of it...
