    Here it is bud. If you haven’t had it, put it near the top of your list of beers to try when you visit Chicago. I like a LOT of beers, but this is ol’ trusty for me. If all beers were going away and I had to pick one, I’d be hard pressed to choose something over this.

    Lol. I know some people feel that way. And with some of the alternative options I’m not buying it as much, so I get it. But it’s the OG in its category for me. Still the best.

    I stocked up the beer fridge today. Got some new ones I’m looking forward to trying. Hop Butcher is one I’m excited for. I’ll report back as I get to them.

    Enjoy!  Hop Butcher is really good.  I've really liked most of their beers that I've had.

    That was my favorite. It was a hazy NE style that tastes pretty citrusy. Very damn good!

    ^ The Brickstone APA is not going to blow you away like some of these rare beers, but for a go-to six pack that tastes close to Zombie Dust, it’s a must try. Binnys carries it regularly. 

    I love Zombie Dust and I love Ninja vs. Unicorn, so to hear that Pipeworks is going to bottle a hybrid of the two is insane. I need to try this!! Did they say when we can anticipate the bottling of it? 
    I'm not sure exactly. We went there near the end of February when they told us to keep an eye out. They said it would be readily available when it hits stores. They they showed me pictures of the cans.

    It was released for the first time on tap only especially for Dark Lord Day 2017. Well, today is Dark Lord Day, so I'm only assuming they will have it again. Maybe we could expect it soon. I'll post here if I learn more.

    Next time skip the ice cubes and use either frozen grapes or whiskey stones...no dilution.

    Plastic ice cubes I think?  The whiskey/Bourbon game has stepped up ice cubes to a whole new level!
