Going to be hitting up Chicago Sunday after DLD, and I was interested in checking out GI. Their tap list is extremely meh right now, do they offer limited bottles for in house consumption?
They do. In the past they've had vintages of the sour sisters, they've had Rare '15 for $80 (which may still be there), and usually stuff like Matilda and Pere Jacques. I think they usually have sours on tap during the weekend, as well, but it's been a while since I was there.
Every weekend is different. Throughout the winter and spring there was usually reg BCBS or a variant on tap. The sisters are usually available in bottles, but yeah, no guarantees for anything.
Total crap shoot, but it's usually a good time. Last couple weeks they have had Rare and Prop bottles available for both on-site consumption and to-go. $85 and $50 respectively. BCS was on draft last Thursday and Friday. Halia will for sure be on draft. They just rolled out this years vintage on Sunday. However, Saturday is the Fulton and wood brewery's 22nd anniversary according to their twitter post. Could be some cool stuff going on that day and still be leftover on Sunday.
Holy balls. I couldn't imagine strapping my drinking liver on after Saturday. After I suffer through the Mother's Day festivities I foresee a lot of couch time on Sunday.
