    Now that they're going to distribute through Breakthru Beverage, who else is excited/terrified about even MORE great beer on Chicago-area shelves?!?

    Soft parade can sit on the shelf next to Rubaeus and Leinie's Berry Weiss.

    I will probably pick up a sixer of Huma and Citra Pale Ale once they get here to give my native state breweries some support, but I'm hoping it leads to some of the seasonals that I'm more interested in. I'll do my best to support some of the regular brews in the hopes they are able to ship some of that our way.

    I'm excited like usual when I find out more quality breweries are coming to the great state of Illinois. Do I think we need it though? no, probably not. I never pay attention to the beers that get shoved off the shelf to make room, but they must not be that good if room is being made!

    Oh hell yeah, I agree that Chicago needs no more beer. With that being said, I can't help but be excited every time a new brewery starts distributing here, because it's one more take on my favorite beer styles.

    Very much pumped that Breakthru picked these up. Should see both of these downstate as well because of that
