There is nothing like finishing the evening off drinking High Life tallboys at Carol's Pub.

What's the place in Lincoln Square with the big rooftop? The name escapes me. I dug that place, too.

That's what Durty Nellies charges for it. They seem to get a keg every other month or so. $6 for 7 oz. is insane.

a few other honorable mentions:
the green lady - chill place like 5 minutes from bro-y the pony
fatpour - bro scene with good beer
toons
clark st alehouse

did that on a NYE one year

It really seems like a vivid dream rather than something I actually experienced. I was there with my wife. My best friend walked in with his cousin. An old friend who is a lesbian was there with her girlfriend. Even the memory of being there is kind of frosted on the edges.

I love Three Penny and actually prefer it to the 3 main bars in Waterbury, especially for food. I really love their wings. Also it's not on the taplist, but they're one of the few Vermont bars to get bottles of Backacre's Sour Golden, which is a lesser known Vermont brew I'd definitely recommend if you're into sour beers at all. They also sometimes have Cantillon available.

Something about that space, whatever business is there, sucks. Could be the Curse of Bar Louie. Last biz there was a Bar Louie and all Bar Louie's are worse than the most bro'd out wrigley joint.

One of the best selections of micro brews around chicago. At very reasonable prices to boot.

Where is that, and why are there no customers?

Independence Tap, Irving Park and....Independence. About a block east of the big blue line/metra stop there at 94/Irving Park.

Really enjoy the beers from this brewer, Right Brain Brewery:

I visited Right Brain a couple years ago

Went to Only Child Brewing in Gurnee today. Really enjoyed their Double IPA and Pale Ale.

5 minutes from home and a neat little tap room...I'm looking forward to going back.

Stout for the win. I am cracking open a Northwind Imperial Stout by Two Brothers next.

I'm on to this one, more quaffable than the prior stouts. could be i'm just a couple stouts + Kessler shots in makes it seem soda pop-ish; or the bubbly carbonated appearance vs the bible-black, squid-ink pasta appearance of the CEO Stout:

I've had that one in the cart a time or two and never pulled the trigger on actually taking it home. Usually
opting for Founder's Breakfast Stout over the imposing sounding 'Imperial Stout'. Larry Bell's almost undrinkable without
cellaring/aging 'Expedition Stout' (A "Russian Imperial Stout") leaving me scarred and skeered of "Imperial Stouts".

Northwind's sounds like a drinkable off the shelf take on the Imperial Stout:

Founders Breakfast Stout is $.

Yup, just picked a 4-pack today.

Founders is one of the best.

Don't remember. We sampled eight. The only one I liked, and I use that term loosely, was the asparagus beer.

Lagunitas Imperial Stout this evening. Back in a stout mood; too bad I am also going back into the workout/diet regimen

I recently tried the Lambo Door DIPA by Grimm Brewery out of Brooklyn. This beer has an excellent reputation--as its 95 rating on beeradvocate.com suggests--but I was thoroughly unimpressed with it. The first couple of sips were great--with a flavor and mouth feel similar to some of the great Hill Farmstead brews I've tried--but it suffers from boozy notes that become overwhelming as you drink it. On a 1-5 scale, this beer doesn't merit anything more than a 2.5 in my opinion.

I also recently endured a pint of Soul Style Tangerine IPA by Green Flash. Just awful. This beer tastes like an orange rind mixed with battery acid.

Have any of you enjoyed anything by Green Flash? I've been extremely disappointed by the two offerings I've sampled from them.

_________________

Tangerine in beer is the new thing, but it doesn't really work. I tried the New Belgium Citradelic, and I thought it was awful. I took a couple sips, and let the wife finish it.
