Didn’t Beach Head brewery get into a spot of trouble when they brought out a beer called “Christmas Jumper”

If anyone is ever passing through Chicago I recommend DMK Burger Bar http://dmkburgerbar.com/. I was there last month and not only superb burgers but a great selection of beers. Nice of them to put the list at the top of their home page.

Goose Island is a great craft beer from Chicago

Well, yes I have, naturally. They're all fairly obvious local brewers.

How long will it remain "great" now that Anheuser-Busch have bought it though ?

 

[Mr Bronson]

Quite partial to a bottle of Innis & Gunns Original. Very tasty.

 

[Dan Aitch]

Haven't read the whole thread but, "craft beer"? Have we all gone entirely mad or American? It's real ale!

Real! Ale!

Yes, it is rather depressing. It’s difficult to keep up. Add it to the list of

Doom Bar – Coors
Blue Moon – Coors

My CAMRA drinking buddies in the UK would probably disown me if they found out I drank Goose Island as it’s now part of the Evil Empire.

Just wait until you find out about Artisanal Beer !

I went in that North Laine place on Saturday and their IPA was very nice indeed. Would have liked to have tried a few of their other brews but I had to go disco dancing.

That conjures up a worrying vision.

I will be visiting the North Laine place this coming weekend. Hopefully it is still on.

 

[Cosmic Joker]

Their Tactical Nuclear Penguin is even stronger!

You can buy it in all the Brewdog bars I have been in.

32% is somehow stronger than 41%?? The End of History was stronger but very limited indeed and nine bottles of it were supplied in stuffed animals..

And your Erasure admission ?

I love Goose Island. Reckon if I had to drink just one bottled beer for all time then GI might be it. Or Brewdog IPA or 5 am Saint or Sierra Nevada or 4 or 5 of Mickellers offerings or The Brooklyn...................ah forget it.

My mistake. I was getting my drinks confused.

 

[Biffer]

I hear the Hove Tin Drum will be taken over soon and is set to specialise in craft beers.

Has anyone tried the new Blonde Beer from Harveys? Not usually my sort of thing but I have to admit that it is pretty good and ideal for a hot summer evening if we ever get any. All made from Sussex ingredients too
