    Need more Dio-inspired names.

    I wonder how much of it has more to do with freeing up capacity in Munster and figuring they would get a lot of business in Chicago given how many people travel down.

    I'll say this...Nick Floyd doesn't seem to lack an ego. The Portland comments were unnecessary. You could just say you're trying to learn and grow and leave it at that.

    Of course, I say this while drinking a Zombie Dust, so what do I know...

    I wish I lived in Portland just so I could go to Cascade every week. It's like dying and going to heaven.

    I'm only 40 minutes from the current place but something closer would be great.

    I wonder where he's drinkning beer in Portland if he thinks "It's still based on Willamette and Cluster (hops)." :astonished: Maybe he only goes to the MacTarnahan's/Pyramid tap room while he's here?

    As for a Chicago FFF, yes please! I lived in Chicago for 9 years and only made it to Munster twice. Sure it's not a far drive, unless you've had three or four or six pints of Dreadnaught.

    Where would the hipsters ride their bikes to then?

    I've faced this dilemma a few times, especially with all the new pub-brews they've been putting out.

    I've been there a few times and try to keep it to three drinks. This weekend, the three drink rule is out the window.

    With how horrible Chicago traffic is I'd probably get to Munster quicker depending on where the new pub might be located.

    First we learn that Lagunitas is planning to open a brewery in Chicago. Now Three Floyds.

    Keep em' coming. I'm talking to you, SierraNevadaBill, Larry Bell, others.

    Hardly any parking for cars in Munster. Why should a Chicago location be any different for bikes?
