    You'll have to pry it out of Grand Rapids. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one to chain myself to the building if it came to that!

    Big Red Coq, Zaison, and Escoffier are my favorites in no particular order. Not sure what kind of selection you're getting in IL though.

    Pretty sure Zaison was my favorite beer available at the brewery when I was there. I know I had escoffier but dont remember what I thought of it

    17 bucks for 64 oz of a 9% alc wild ale is expensive?

    Agree to disagree..... but coming from someone with a Cantillon avatar you must know the amount of labor, time, and ingredients that goes into a wild ale. either way.... potatoe potato. See you at FOBAB, I'll be the skinny one with the patchy beard.

    I agree. This seems very reasonable. I bet if it were a 750 for 17, no one would say anything.
