Hop Juice Fest

Two comments:
1) Last year guest tap line at the fest wasn't horrible, and as previously stated some interesting stuff is available. This fest has a good amount of locals and music fans, who didn't seem as interested in the "special brews". I'm hoping to try brews from Oakshire (alum from Flossmoor who is the Wooden Hell brewer), Ninkasi, and Port.
2) Two Brothers have never made marketing a priority. After 4 - 5 years they just changed their website's home page pic, which showed the brewery under construction from years ago, mostly in the pic was a wall of unpainted drywall. Example for this year, is the highly sought after Black Hop Juice (Centric....whatever) gonna be offered this year or not???????

 

You should be consuming your Schlafly anyway.

I'll be there around 2 tomorrow. You going?

 

I wish we have Shan's cousins wedding. So only day I can go would be Sunday!

 

If anyone can post local beer list or at least highlights that would be awesome! Thanks and cheers.

 

So is the line for purchasing Hop Juice outside the entrance again?

 

First to post guest tap list today gets big beer karma!

 

are you able to purchase hop juice or black from brewpub? or just roundhouse?

 

Pretty sure I'm gonna be there right around noon but I'm dumb and don't know how to post pics on here. I'll try and figure it out and hopefully I can post it.

Also, for those wondering, The Hawks game will be on inside the Roundhouse for those with VIP tix.

 

No answer when I called them. Is it cash only, or are CC accepted? On my way now. Thanks !

 

getting there around 5 anyone post the guest taps /

 

Headed there now.

 

THE SUSPENSE SURROUNDING THE INFAMOUS MYSTERY GUEST TAPS GROWS BY THE MINUTE

 

any idea how late this thing goes til?

 

I took a pic of the tap list. How do I post it from my phone?

 

I saw a pic of the tap list, and I thought it was pretty mediocre. Seemed like a lot of standard beers, highlights I saw were Bose the elder-oak shire and cuvée de tomme-port.

 

My speculation is that since Two Brothers no longer owns Windy City distributorship, access to big brews has diminished?

 

oak aged sameul was excellent, as was cuvee de tomme the others were ok. Grabbed a couple of bombers of hop black and a sixer or hop centric. We enjoyed last year a little more, but still a fun fest.

 

Agreed that the samuel was excellent. The delicious 16% got me into the festival mood real quick! Most of those on the list had cut out by the time I got there, but Felix was a nice contrast to switch to. San Tan's Devils Ale was a bit underwhelming I thought. Overall pretty good vibe though, thanks to both the bros!
