Visiting Chicago from Mississippi next weekend (Nov 21) and wanted to pick up some sours from the area to take back home. What should I look for?
New Holland puts out some fairly inexpensive but still solid sours - Incorrigible, Mischevious, Blue Sunday. Bombers usually run between $5 and $8. You should be able to find the first two floating around depending on where you look.
Pipeworks probably has a few saisons on the shelf currently - I haven't kept up with all the releases, but is Mosaic the most recent? Off-Color: you could probably do a mix-6 and find Fierce (berliner) andTroublesome (gose) the selection. I believe I've seen their collabs with JK (Radiolaria) and SP (Corybantic) around some places still, but those are closer to $20 for a 750. Une Anee Cent (brett saison) is a deal at around $5.99 for a 750, and is my favorite beer I've tried by UA. Marz Brewing also makes a gose (Ruby's Tears) and berliner (Bubbly Creek) And there are all kinds of out-of-market options that have recently started distributing here - Almanac, Logsdon, and Cascade all come to mind. Good luck!
Almanac, Cascade, and Logsdon distribute to Chicago. Binny's in Lakeview has a good selection that doesn't get picked over as fast as the Lincoln Park location.
