I saw the Free shuttle from Reggie's but I'm worried that it'd be way too full and difficult to get on the 8am. Are there better shuttles, and/or am I over-thinking Reggie's?

More beer events for the week around Chicago. #beeronaut

The view from Off Color the Mousetrap is the best I have found. Any recommendations for other great views with in-house brews?

Hey all, I am a bit newer into drinking more craft and local beers. What are some good darker beers around (porters, dark lagers, stouts, dunkels)? Not the biggest fan of BA stuff, but I’ve heard of some good ones around to.

Anyone know of any deals for teachers this week at any of the Chicagoland breweries? I know forbidden root is offer 15% off for you and 3 guest. Anyone spot anything else? Sketchbook seems to be doing a movie or something too?

Illinois Craft Beer Week begins with Beer Under Glass, more May the Fourth, Cinco de Mayo, and Derby Day. #beeronaut

Hi all,

I'm visiting Chicago for the first time this week and have a few days free before meeting up with friends for a bachelor party. After reading articles online about Moody's, I wanted to reach out to get recommendations of where to actually go. My hotel is near Magnificent Mile and I would ideally like a not-to-crowded / local spot with stouts and Belgians.

Additionally - we have bleacher seats for Cubs this Saturday - are there any must have stadium eats?

Friends told me to go to these places during my free days - firecakes donuts VS stans, Cindy's Rooftop, and Portillio's for an Italian beef steak. (we are going to gibson's and Lou Malnati's as a group.)

Thanks in advance!

Hey all,

I was wondering, has anyone been able to exchange plastic can carriers for free pours at breweries? I have heard that some breweries have exchange programs for keeping plastic waste down and was wondering if any were in Chicago area. If you've done this, which breweries do this program?

This week around Chicago: Star Wars trivia, Mother's Day gifts, and beer! #beeronaut

My friend and I have two extra tickets for the 9-11am slot (Group A). Asking face, $233, for each. Please note, 3 Floyds requires that you enter the event with original purchaser, so we would need to meet outside beforehand.

DM if interested. Dark Lord 2024 Event Page

Hello Chicagoans,

I’m visiting from Houston with a touristy agenda that caters to our young children. I can’t really justify a trip to any of your excellent (looking) breweries, so I’m looking for the best bottle shop / liquor store downtown to stock the hotel fridge. TIA for any direction & apologies if I’m the annoying guy asking a question that’s been answered 100x

Any one have a comprehensive list of random locations that either have specific international beer, or carry a variety of global beers.
For example, Map Room has a ton of European beers.
Other examples:

Nando's Chicken carries Superbock (Portugal)
Ba Ba Reeba carries Estrella Galacia on draft (Spain).

Demera - Habesha (Ethiopia)

Are they trying to get sued? Kinda wild.

Are there any breweries/bars/tap rooms that specialise in Anglo-Irish beers?

Sad to see they aren’t making it. If anyone is in the Carol Stream area go pay them a visit before they’re gone!

Any breweries in Chicago area brew this up? Had one from Michigan but want to try local. Thanks!
