The only proper way to attend would be with a ski mask and a semi-automatic weapon.

If he actually knew the location, I mean Chicago is a pretty small city...

This is a really nice medium bodied porter with nice rich flavors.

Last night:

Terrapin Gamma Ray on the Randall filtered through peaches. Holy ****!

Smutty Nose Robust Porter - Not bad but not great. Certainly worth the $2 though.

Last night:

Golden Carolus Tripel - Very nice, clean, Belgian. Recommended.

Jolly Pumpkin La Roja - I didn't know this was a Flemish sour style ale until I drank the damn thing. I don't really like sours but this one was passable. Wouldn't buy again.

Cigar City 110k + O.T. - This is the new batch style that just came out. Not bad, sort of a mid range malt beer (not too dark, not too light) and a nice robust flavor. Probably wouldn't buy again but if somebody gave me a glass, I wouldn't pour it out.

Drinking on a Two Hearted Ale right now. 3rd bottle into a six pack. Just having 1 a night. This is def a everyday/go to beer when not sampling the extreme stuff.

Getting 2 bottles of Parabola, Boulevard Saison Brett, and Founders Double Trouble brought back from Missouri. They had the Firestone Abacus, and didn't know it was one of their "Reserve" styles. Any opinions on if I should get it too? Kinda kicking myself now that I didn't get one of each, since I already am supposed to be getting a Parabola from Seattle.
