Chicago Craft Beer Week @ Local Option

Had a Kentucky Common at the SmallBar, I mean Beer Bistro North today. Really good and interesting stuff, like nothing I've ever had.

 

I somehow missed the BBA Mort. Will have to pencil that in!

** Edit **
Nevermind, of course I penciled that in. I am just too drunk on the first day of CCBW to remember it! Will be there for sure!

 

I'll be there for Petite Mort/Central Waters night. Does anybody know if LO does flights yet? I was there two CCBWs ago for the Mikkeller single hop beers and, while nice to see them on tap, it was a bit pointless to have one full pour at a time rather than comparing & contrasting.

 

As of last Tuesday no flights.

 

Don't go over there expecting bottles available for takeout as I did (the announcement says "available in limited supply in bottle") but they don't have them. The tap list looks insane though, as usual.

 

This event was pretty awesome. I had a couple of beers from 3-4:30 and got out of there. 1414 and BBA La Petite Mort were both very, very solid.

 

Agreed. Although 1414 was the standout for me. Great stuff.

Wish I could have stayed to try the Brewhouse Coffee Stout but I had to head down to haymarket to try some sun king. Too much to do...
