    Does Mike know he’s the brunt of so many jokes and just not give a shit, or is he truely oblivious to all of the comedy he provides?

    Chicago needs to start allowing pedal pubs so we can at least get some “cardio” in

    There is no such thing as bad publicity.

    I’m concerned you’ll get in trouble for posting a picture of Miker’s R&D lab.

    His stuff appears to be selling right now so I doubt he cares.

    I like to poke fun at him as well but still appreciate his beers every now and again. I don't seek them out the way I used to but his IPAs have been pretty dialed in lately.

    It's actually incredible how much the beer scene in Chicago has grown in 3-4 years in terms of options. Places I was excited to go to 2-4 years ago I don't even bother with-> More, Mikerphone, Forbidden Root, etc. due to closer options on par, better packaged goods and retailers, and then the local brewers who adapted to put out new beers everyweek that keep you coming back- HB and HA.

    Reading "sweet, sweet stout" made it an easy pass for me.

    Same. Will try to have on draft when I pickup to see how sweet it ends up being.

    Surprised this hasn’t sold out. Though the Maplewood touch would make it an instant close

    I was kinda nervous after grabbing three but after finding out how long they were aged I am now glad. 15 months

    I gambled on the BA beer since they’ve been on a good run with the barrel program.

    I do question the logic of going into the ice cream business in Chicagoland during late August though....

    I prefer to drizzle my vanilla ice cream with barrel strength bourbon. Good night!

    I thought it would sell out pretty fast given it was a maplewood collab so i didn't even read the full description. I saw what it was going to be when they teased it before... Bought 2 and saw that description and wasn't very happy.

    That's an indictment if I've ever seen one of where our hobby is today.
