    Happy 312 day for those who celebrate. On the fence about hitting either GI location (Comp Beefs at Salt Shed, Pizza at Fulton) with their changing all draft beers at $3.12 to just 312 for $3. Something better in the glass to kick off the day (or end the night).

    Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout (Bottled October 17, 2023 14.6% ABV)

    Good night J.!

    Not drinking a beer initially based in Chicago but at least an American one. Lagunitas IPA:

    Sunny, cold morning that’ll likely turn to a cloudier and rainy afternoon.

    Cheers!

    Great song and beer selection @Shanex !

    Laginutas Chicago was a great place to visit. They skipped town the second their landlord's property tax subsidy expired. Was a big Lagunitas fan back in the day. It was located in the Teamsters Film Lot area about a mile north of Cook County Jail on 26th and California.

    Two of Chicago's top five remaining largest breweries "merged" yesterday. Hope both are able to do well under their merger.

    Good day BAs! Thanks @ChicagoJ for opening the bar!

    Today's New Breakfast Beer:

    Moon Lit (2025) from New Trail Brewing. 16 fl oz can, purchased 26/02/26 from Franklin Beer, Franklin, PA. $ 3.25/$ 0.203/fl oz. In reefer at distributor, stored at 40 degrees F at home. Reviewed 12/03/26, review 3704.
    Final impression and summation: 3.75 Uncredited label art. The body seems a bit light for a stout but the flavors and aroma make this an easy drinker with an excellent price point – one I’ll buy again.
    Rating 3.75, rDev -8.5%

    This is a beautiful place, but no hoppy beers whatsoever!

    For at least six months the washing machine has been malfunctioning, but I've kept it going because... of Dunkirk spirit and me not wanting to accept defeat but then it stopped completely four weeks ago. Two weeks ago the engineer said he would be back with parts last week & today he fixed it but said leave it two hours.

    So I have a mountain of laundry to do at 6PM GMT but in the meanwhile I'm having a beer and then a power nap, besides this can's BB is in 19 days.

    Another great day for some beer. A nasty winter storm is close and will bear down on the region here. Looks to be shaping up to be a lengthy system going into Sunday. Good thing I stocked up on beer! SN Citra Little Thing Hazy IPA :beers:

    Lovely looking stuff & Pressure Drop seem to be having a bit of a revival.

    Not had a huge amount from them but what I have had has been very good. This one is no exception.

    Well, we started off questionably, but do hold a slim halftime lead. Never good facing a team for the third time after beating them twice.



    Edit: @jonphisher - the GF ate and had a beer at a Victory tap room here in Northern Virginia - including some Dirt Wolf. I wasn't aware Victory had invaded from the north. Apparently it is quite new, at least.

    Good morning BAdvocates. Washed a car and did some work with the chainsaw already, so a beer is in order! Drinking my first Revision Brewing “The Bird” WC-Style IPA. Again, very fruit forward and not a WC-IPA by any stretch but quite tasty. Citrus bitterness is coming in upfront, but very little hoppiness.

    Cheers all! :beers:
