    Budweiser product
    Sort of.  They are owned & distributed by AB InBev but still mostly produced by Goose Island.

    All of the widely distributed Goose Island beers (312, Goose IPA, Green Line, etc..) are produced at Budweiser facilities.  The quality has gone way downhill since then.  They still make bourbon county stouts and other small batch stuff in Chicago.
    Yeah, the main handful are Bud factories, that's why I said mostly by Goose.  I do still like Honker's Ale but definitely agree on 312 & Green Line.  I never did like Goose IPA, but I don't like 99.95% of IPAs, so I'm not exactly a benchmark in that category. :lol:

    So boy do I have a question for you guys: back in 2011/12 I traded a bottle of Faithfull ale to a guy from Belgium. In return he sent me a rather famous bottle that is only released once a year by monks. Any clue what it could be?

    I think that’s the Westvleteren 12 which is frequently called the best beer of all time. I’ve had similar stuff but not that exact one.

    Helping this Blonde feel not so lonely.


    Speaking of which, how come you never see a raven or brunette ale? The Reds and Blondes have all the fun.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    How many of us that frequent the craft beer thread are going to the Wrigley and/or Fenway shows?  I ask because it would be cool to get a decent group of us to pre-game before the shows with a couple delicious brews. I’ll be at both Wrigley and both Fenway shows. Let’s make it happen.

    ^ I see Saturday is 9/1. Looking at a calendar would have helped. I get in Sunday morning so I’m out for this one unfortunately.

    I definitely want to check out Trillium and I’ll be in town Sun-Wed, so if any other get-togethers take place there please keep the group informed. Thanks. - Brian
