Message beergurujr beers 2 º 11:24 Wed 5/21/2014 Scorched Earth in Algonquin is set to brew it’s first beer within a week or so. Should be opening the tap room within the next month, IMO.
Message beergurujr beers 2 º 11:26 Wed 5/21/2014 Crystal Lake Brewing Co in it’s namesake city is also well along, and should be opening it’s taproom this Summer.

Good luck to all of them.. but really.. I can’t see this pace keeping (nor all of them sticking).

Good luck to all of them.. but really.. I can’t see this pace keeping (nor all of them sticking). Ah, maybe. Alum, name three ’hoods or towns where you think a nano/micro could not make it just with local customers. I can do that- Wonder Lake, Stone Park, and Englewood. I do think there are limits... but I think we’re not quite there yet as a region.
Message John_BarNative 07:10 Thu 5/22/2014 Day 8 of Chicago Craft Beer Week - hope everyone has gotten to a few events so far. We’re excited about the West Loop Festival on Saturday. Since time is running out quickly, we doubled our Top Picks for today, May 22nd. Enjoy! http://www.barnative.com/2014/05/22/ccbw-2014-day-8-top-picks-chicago-craft-beer-week/
Message TheAlum beers 7164 º places 10 º 07:52 Thu 5/22/2014 If anyone is kickin’ around, I’ll be out to check out Kaiser Tiger after work and then hitting the Wiseacre Takeover @ Haymarket early to check out what Davin’s been doing. Kaiser Tiger.. looks amazing.

Message TheAlum beers 7164 º places 10 º 08:14 Thu 5/22/2014 Odd to see Pleasant House on that list. From what I understand, it’s a re-do or someone else bought the old Dewey Cannon place (which was probably a good idea). That said.. It’s in Michigan. But that must mean someone from/in IL is running it.
