Went on a business trip to a convention in Chicago, and the coworker I went with (a good friend of mine here at the office) did some research and had our dinner at Goose Island all planned out before we got to Chicago. She gets props for that!

If you ever make it to Ohio I highly recommend the Great Lakes brewery. Their Christmas Ale is to die for, but if that is out of season the Dortmunder Gold is also very good. Unfortunately, because they don't pasturize their beer they can't ship it across state lines, so I only get to enjoy it when I'm visiting the in-laws (or if I bring some back with me ).

Otter Creek Middlebury Ale is the blueberry one I was thinking of. It's got "hints" of both blueberrys and elderberries.

Drink up, or I shall taunt you another time!

Another good one: Otter Creek Stovepipe Porter. OMG, so yummy.

Hmmm, I just checked out the Otter Creek Brewery site, and the Octoberfest label looks very familiar...I've definitely had it in the past. Good stuff.

Just had some Sweetwater Festive Ale with dinner... Yuuummm

Sweetwater is an Atlanta microbrew.

Cleaning up benzene, trichloroethylene, etc. Nasty stuff you do not want in your drinking water.

Hey Che, you got a link? Given what I do, an article on this would be appreciated in the office...

-Arrian

No, it was in our local alternative newspaper, City Link under the weird news section. One of the sections I can't find on their website.

My favorate brown ale, which I can't find in Florida.

Interestingly, the Oregon label, which used to be brewed in Oregon, is owned by Sam Adams and is brewed in Ohio. Apparently a lot of "microbrews" really aren't anymore. They've been devoured by the same people who ruined beer in the first place.

I wouldn't call Sam Adams part of the problem, Che. That's good beer, even if it's gotten big.

Anyway, I found a decent article on this and posted it at the office. Several folks got a kick out of it
