My friend is going to Chicago - What should he get?

Goose Island Bourbon County Stout. Pipeworks Galaxy Unicorn or Pipeworks Ninja vs. Unicorn if you like DIPAs. Also have him hit Piasano's and bring you a large thin-crust sausage.

 

Thin crust???? Them's fightin' words.

 

To the OP- what are your favorite styles?
Where will your friend be staying? Is he willing to seek out something special, or are you looking for something he can find on the shelf in most stores?

 

Revolution tap room on Kedzie. Look at their list and go nuts.

 

Deep dish is for tourists.

 

truth.

 

Let me elaborate. I meant for your friend to look at what is available in bottles/cans for you. They only sell to go at the taproom, except Growler fills at the brew pub. Depending on what you are looking for.

 

unique and must get stuff from chicago, not naming favorite styles?
Pipeworks, Revolution, Half Acre.

 

I think Warehouse Liquors may still have Double Daisy Cutter, according to Half Acre's twitter 2 days ago.

 

Second on Revolution. My favorite is their Eugene Porter (plus it comes in cans for easy travel) but their Anti-Hero IPA is good too. Also check out Half Acre's Daisy Cutter or anything from Pipeworks (their Jones Dog is a solid milk stout .)

 

Half Acre's seasonal Double Daisy Cutter is still available at some stores. Get it while it's hot. I mean hoppy.

 

OP, do a search for your title and you'll save everyone time.

EDIT: Sorry for being a dick

 

I have deep dish whenever relatives or friends from out of town come in.

 

Do you let them put ketchup on their hot dogs too?

I'll never understand why everybody thinks we eat only deep dish pizza. I couldn't tell you the last time I had any.

 

Malort.

 

A Chicago dog dragged through the garden!

 

Tell him to bring mace and his insurance card....
