So we have touched on Half Acre and Two Brothers here at I Drink Good Beer but there is just one Chicago brewery left that we would like to highlight before the year is out and that brewery is Finch’s Beer Company. Finch’s Beer Company was started for the sheer fact that Owner Ben Finch wanted to supply the drinkers of Chicago with easy drinking brews, gateway beers if you will.

It has been a while since we touched on something from Otter Creek let alone posting something about Lawsons Finest. But here we are and the two have joined forces to bring us a dank double india pale ale that could only come from Vermont. The beer is called Double Dose IPA with a title “Great Minds Drink Alike” and we couldn’t agree more on the collaboration. Continue reading “DOUBLE DOSE”

I am sure by now everyone is familiar with the cease and desist that took place between Kentucky based brewer West Sixth Brewing, and Vermont brewery Magic Hat. For those who don’t the long and short, the story is that Magic Hat claimed that the star on the above can of IPA infringed upon that of their product #9.

There is a lot of great beer coming out of Chicago these days. We have highlighted Daisy Cutter from Half Acre, as well as Side Kick from Two Brothers. One Chi-town brewery in particular has really warmed a spot in my heart with three special beers. That brewery is Revolution, and as you can see from the picture above we got quite the variety of cans from them which left a lasting impression on the palate.
