It's a busy day, and not much news. Only one story today, dedicated to our Chi-town following.
For our Chicago friends - you probably already know this, but Goose Island is closing their pub in Clybourn. Looks like they couldn't come to terms with the landlord.
Yeah my dad lives up in Naperville, just outside Chitown and sent me an article about this earlier this week. That brewpub is just killer and I will miss it when it is gone. It sounds like the owners of the property jacked the rent up through the roof because that area is highly sought after now.
I like beer. A lot. I don't like writing long reviews.
I like comments. Enjoy.
This blog started in March of 2008 and I'll be tweaking the format for a few months. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Rating System
Here's our beer rating system, from lowest to highest:
7 - Not even if it were free. 6 - No other choices? OK, I guess. 5 - It's better than having a domestic macro brew. 4 - You ought to try it - it's pretty good. 3 - I need to add it to the rotation. 2 - I'm buying a case. 1 - Pack the bags, honey, we're going to the brewery.

NO. TELL ME THIS IS APRIL FOOLS. Wrigleyville is NOT what Goose Island should be. Clybourn is the heart and soul of Goose Island. This is a tragedy.
Stealing this for my blog, thanks!

Sorry to break the bad news to everyone.
By the reactions here, it sounds like I might need to try to get there before they move/close.
