Figured this worthy of it's own thread. Big news for Chicago beer fans. The store officially opens today, with the bar opening soon. Has anyone heard anything about what bottle releases they are doing this weekend?
This place was so awesome in the previous location. Total dive joint, horrible use of space with that gigantic bar in the middle, completely family/significant other unfriendly and no food... but damn I loved it and its beer selection.
The annual "Merry Fischmas" party was always a great time with some fine beers on tap. I hope they bring this back. It's a holiday tradition.
I’ll go scope it out today after work. Perfect for swinging by rev and begyle. Maybe see some of you at all three of those spots!
I'm so happy they're back. It was one of my favorite bottle shops and favorite bars thanks to good vibes and great selections.

Really incredible place. Owners are super nice, and they have so much amazing beer at more-than-fair prices. I’d post, but I don’t want people to have car accidents driving over here. Grabbed velvet merkin, black butte, BCS ‘13 and BCS coffee ‘16. Tempted to get much much more.
