    it’s always a lottery if you’re not an ambassador, and from above they didn’t make a lot of this batch.

    This just kinda solidifies it. Every beer is so desired that it doesn't matter what it cost or how good it actually is. More power to them for being able to do that but as a new customer it feels bad and like a walled city I don't want to even try and get into.

    True enlightenment is reached when you come to accept that you cannot try every beer from all 100 Chicagoland breweries.

    Been out of the chasing game for a long time now. Just trying to reassess what breweries are worth trying to get now. The more I look around the more I realize the only one worth any of my time and money is Revolution.

    Can't wait for this community to reckon with the fact that Revolution can create a wide range of beers at a low price point and put them everywhere and as a result puts smaller breweries out of business.

    I've heard this story before somewhere.......

    No surprise but affinity has zero barrel and is on the sweet side. But it tastes pretty good if it was a no barrel stout.

    Stopped by mikerphone after and 41 was on the equally sweet tone but you could at least detect some sort of barrel.

    I just drove by the future Elmhurst location a couple of days ago, and they have paper up all over the windows now. So it looks like they are doing something in there, which I would hope would mean it would be operational in 6 months or less.

    The new Bottle Theory place just down the street looks pretty cool too. South Elmhurst looks like it's going to be a great beer destination.

    How does one get on the wait-list for the Ambassadors?

    Shoot them an email to their generic email address, but I wouldn't be surprised if that list is in the thousands now.

    That's what I did at the start of the year and got no acknowledgment. Followed up a week after asking for an acknowledgement that I was on the list and again got nothing. So I have no idea if I'm actually on the list or they haven't stopped laughing long enough to tell me I'm about number 1,000,000 in line. Maybe someday........

    I thought i remembered someone posting last year saying that they are no longer adding people to the waitlist, because the waitlist is too long. Perhaps that was another brewery? Can anyone speak to this, or am I crazy?

    I remember this as well - pretty sure that's the case. I've been emailing them for 2 years now, never heard back. Although I've exchanged some emails with Shaun about homebrewing :grinning:

    From what I understand, they're never really going to open up enough slots to warrant going beyond the original list they had when they opened.

    A friend picked me up a two-pack of the Affinity stout. What a guy! Very impressed at the mouthfeel, as usual, and nice to see Phase 3 do a more accessible stout. The ABV was very well hidden. Looking forward to more of this in the future.

    Curvature 2-packs are hitting the city proper right now, looks like.
