Message TheAlum beers 7164 º places 10 º 12:50 Tue 12/20/2011 Originally posted by theburden Originally posted by TheAlum There were some articles linked to each via google search, but I just linked whatever page they had. All but one had official pages. Thanks, I’m obviously lazy. It’s goot for the thread/reference anyways for everyone.
Message NobleSquirrel beers 3437 º places 209 º 10:44 Fri 12/23/2011 Technically I guess it’s a new brewery, but here’s a link to a story on Revolution’s canning operation. Check out the pick of the Anti-hero can: link
Message beergurujr beers 2 º 15:32 Sat 12/24/2011 We’ll be clearing space for these new brewers. Sorry to say, but it’s gonna be bye-bye to some slow selling, out-of-state brands come next year.

Message DrnkMcDermott beers 4226 º places 102 º 19:26 Thu 12/29/2011 Broad Shoulders is proclaiming its presence in the South Loop, or is South Loop another brewery in the works? I am presuming Chain o’Lakes in McHenry has fallen to the wayside. I can’t even find their web address.

I am presuming Chain o’Lakes in McHenry has fallen to the wayside. I can’t even find their web address. it’s mchenry county, what else would one expect? the only county in the metro area that has nothing but two lane highways in and out of it’s county seat (woodstock). aside from the southeast corner of the county, the rest of it might as well be in mississippi.

Message DrnkMcDermott beers 4226 º places 102 º 21:53 Fri 12/30/2011 Chicago Beer Co., as opposed to New Chicago Beer Co., is also proclaiming they’ll have their own brewery in 2012.
