Will be in Chicago for a couple days to end this week. What beers should I be on the look out for? Any recommendations for the best beer bar? Will be at the Sheraton on N. Water St. for our Northwestern Mutual Central Regional Meeting from Thursday to Saturday! Thanks! Cheers!

Off Colour Haymarket (brewpub) Goose Island (clybourn ave brewpub) Dryhop (brewpub) There's tons of others, but... Use this link!
OP, you're from Indiana and Savant level. You're telling me you've never seen this post before? There isn't much of an excuse for this one.
Nope unless he had the wrong month for his. I'm leaving in the morning. I'm sure there was another thread. I was too lazy to dig for it. I was just looking for a few simple suggestions. I know Pipeworks, Revolution, Not Your Dad's Root Beer. Those were a few on my short list. I live in Indy so I have a lot of the same distro but just looking for some other things that may be worth checking out! I was really trying to just narrow it down as my time is limited. To some must finds vs. the whole gamut of what is offered.
haha, damn my script to search for keywords and automatically post the list as a reply didn't work! Sorry OP going to be lazy here and point you to this thread http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/ill-be-in-chicago-next-week.247525/#post-3170399
That is fair! I was in the office today and didn't see a thread in the first few threads so I started one so I could get updates throughout the day! I appreciate you all humoring my request
Not from there, but personal recommendations are Hopleaf, Half Acre, Revolution, Lagunitas, Kingston Mines, Weiner Circle, Half Shell.
There is a batch of dino smores by off color brewing that was just released. It is definitely worth keeping an eye out for while in the area!
I'm going to be in Chicago this weekend for a wedding, and planning on hitting up the Revolution Brewpub (don't know if this is a good idea on the same day as a wedding).
Still on tap at taproom (growler) and still have bombers according to their site. It is about 10-15 minute cab ride/drive from Sheraton. Did it last weekend.
I know, I know; but then I move to the open bar at the wedding....probably crap beer at salvatores in Lincoln Park (I'd probably be lucky if they even have Honkers)
