Was just going to post the link as well. However Deschutes and Russian River are two good starting points.

 

what part of illinois? in chicago land they have access to loads of stuff we southerners dont, and we get ballast pointe and they dont (so i've heard). the two you have are great choices. im pretty sure anyone in illinois would love to get some alpine.

 

Great site, thx for sharing.

 

I have heard you get Ballast Point in Central/Southern Illinois. We don't, and I love Sculpin. How readily available is it down there? I travel down there every few months for work. In fact, there is a possibility I'll be down there this week for a meeting. If so, is there anywhere you could recommend to pick up some Sculpin? Any chance there is some Victory at Sea still around?

 

havent seen sculpin for awhile, do have big eye ipa on shelves. victory at sea has been replaced by sea monster everywhere i have seen. if your gonna be in peoria, bloomington, springfield your best bets are friar tuck. if your gonna be in champaign they have a friar tuck and a recently opened binnys. also if your in the springfield area look for rolling meadows beer at friar tuck or famous liquors.

 

Cool. I'll have to keep this in mind when I'm down there. Thanks much for the information.

 

Lost Abbey is definitely in IL. Tomme Arthur is in Chicago for events this week. Scratch the LA/Port options from your list.

 

Cascade? Midnight Sun?

 

I have good experiences with finding it in Rockford.

 

LA and Port are both widely available.

 

Really? All Ballast Point brews?

 

Sculpin, Big eye, others, not all of them but at least a decent selection.

 

No and No.

 

Any particular stores that I should check the next time I'm over that way?

 

Everett's it is just north o Rockford actualy

 

Everett's in South Beloit, Artale & Woodmans in Rockford all have Ballast Point. DeKalb area too...
edit: looks like crossovert beat me...
