    Just saw PW tweet (with a video) that they got the cans in for Lil' Citra. I wonder how long until they hit distribution. I had it on tap once and thought it was OK - I'd give it a try in can form as well.

    Yep, will be hunting down the Citra as well as it's out in a few days from what they had on FB. I am wondering what other great Chicago beers/brewers I'm missing out on other than the usual ones I visit (Half Acre, Revolution, Begyle) or drink (Pipeworks). Tried Atlas (getting renamed, it was good; Hopworks was good, as was Corridor but none of them blew me away). I don't think Spiteful does visits or has a taproom yet, too bad...

    I enjoyed South Loop's - now Hop Butcher for the World (thats a mouthful) - The World's Columbian Coffee Exposition Stout. I'll try their other stuff as it comes out.

    At this point, Ill at least try anything Pipeworks does. They've earned that level of trust in my book.

    Surly's Citra was awful though - HUGE letdown.

    I would feel so cool if that was the next fish beer!

    Agreed. Though I feel as if I might enjoy it more if it were a hot summer day.

    Mikerphone and Off Color are worth your time, though neither have a tap room. I've really been enjoying Illuminated as well.

    Anyone know of any spots left in the city with some Peacock for sale? Binny's LP?

    I just got one at the Lakeview Whole Foods on Ashland. LP Binny's didn't have any that I noticed when I was there on Friday.

    I just picked 3 bottles of the Peacock today. Not to sound too hyperbolic, but I have to say this one is my favorites of the fish beers. It's really really solid. Incredibly well balanced. Light for the style, great flavor profile, and all around fantastic. Color me impressed.

    Someone mentioned earlier, a fish series beer comes out every 6 weeks or so. Still haven't had Scarlett Betta yet. I think Emerald Grouper will be the next one.

    I heard Pdubbs were changing the labels so they could get approval for national distrobution. Had to get rid of the "stoner" references.

    Super stoked for Imp EOD release again! Wish I could of found the BA version.

    I think they hit it out of the park with Sunburst. Blew Crimson Snapper away this year IMO

    Well, that fucking sucks. Those labels fit very well with the "stoner" vibe out here in Denver.

    I'm going to be in town as of Monday - are many Imp EOD bombers sitting around by chance?
