Anything going on Friday?

I'll be in town Friday. Hitting up phase three to pick up some bottles (and maplewood Saturday for BA cuppa cans). Anything else going on I should know about? Maybe too early to know what good drafts will be there Friday, but I'm mostly interested in NEIPAs and BA stouts. Thanks!

Half Acre is releasing Double Barrel 2X4 Benthic Wednesday. Should still be pouring Friday.

Check out https://www.beeronaut.com/ later in the week. They tend to post updates in time to plan things.

Holy ad revenue, Batman.

It's not that I'm not suspicious of self promotion and the like, but how much ad  revenue could a casual local beer events blog focused on the Chicago burbs possibly be getting?

u/stacecom 6d ago

Meh. I find it a useful resource and I use an ad blocker like most savvy folks.

Hmmm... I learned my lesson spontaneously getting tickets to a chicago beer fest a few years ago. Not great, actually managed to get my money back. With no draft list I wouldn't trust I'd like this.

You can see the vendors listed there. I’ve been to this and it’s awesome. The venue is super cool too and it’s in the malt row area. That’s fine though, more beer for me!

If you're only looking to tick rare BA pastry stouts, that event probably isn't for you. More directed towards general craft beer fans.

Which phase three location you going to?

If you're in Lake Zurich, drive 5 more minutes and check out Roaring Table.

I don't know that they have anything special going on, but they are a personal favorite and worth the few minutes IMO

Elmhurst this time. But have been to Lake Zurich and then roaring table - good stuff!

u/FuelForYourFire 5d ago

Roaring Table has a ~$2/can case sale right now. Holiday Romance, 10°, aaaaand something else. Good deal.
