Roll Call “Chicago” (Part 2)

[Gottliebk12]

Parlor’s hot honey pizza is good.
Hop Butcher is fantastic. Would really like it if they had distribution at my grocery store.

@TeddyPargame

Some of us remember the good old days and remember them fondly

Yeah, but roosts kinda ruined this. Refuge became regionalized and a lot of people arnt in the nest. I’m in on using the roll call because then I can shitpost with @HackMarkham

Are you like 10 min from HB tap room and shop?

[Gottliebk12]

Well- my day just got better. I was unaware of the Lincoln square taproom.

15 minutes but still- this is great news.

[ChiFFI]

It’s the original Half Acre (.5 acre footprint…)

@ChiFFI

It’s the original Half Acre

Used to go there for $2 off growlers on Tuesdays. This was before they even had their own growlers. They’d fill any 64 ounce vessel. My first growler from HA was a 64 ounce mason jar.

@ChiFFI

original Half Acre

Used to pickup kegs of Daisy Cutter on Saturday mornings and bring one home before my wife was even ready for the day.

[ChiFFI]

I use one from the original growler release. Before they closed and went full Balmoral, I brought for a fill and the dude working said he had never seen one with those logos.

[wseitz26]

I probably still have one or two. We did some culling a few years ago. Hardly ever even do growler fills anymore now that Goldfinger allows me four crowlers per month (instead of 2 growlers) as part of their lager loyalty club.

[ChiFFI]

Same - been a Begyle member since before they opened as their CSA model and I moved to 2 crowlers years ago, no time for 64 oz in that duration.
I kept HA, Dovetail, Begyle. Then an old swing top and a hydroflask (fun because you used to need a gov’t approval sticker back in the day on non-brewery ones so I got a stack of stickers on Amazon and slapped one on)

Need an escape this August? Pop on over for a great time!

The Butter Cow - Aug 8-9. GPGC Major and NIT spot

[Clipped_image_20230715_120122] Butter Cow Sweet Butter Cow, August 8-9, 2025 is when for 2 (or 3) unforgettable days in August, everyone can find their favorite food, ride, game, entertainment and most importantly, GOLF competition. Memories are made with every hook into the RV park at Coldwater, every tree smacked at Veenker, and every exhausting hill climbed at Waveland. We’ll also hit up our sweetest tradition at the Craft Beer Tent again where every sip feels like coming home. *once agai…

[BadBrad]

Some additional bait to join. Only con is having to use the scoring app we don’t talk about around here

[grandpa_jones]

it’s your home away from home. rumors are swirling that I might make it this time.

[ChrisP1]

I might skip Coldwater this year and just hang at the High Life Lounge sipping on pony bottles.

[BadBrad]

So breakfast at the high life lounge?

[ChrisP1]

Might not be open, but for sure brunch.

[Sweet_Cupn_Cake]

Be a great past Champions tradition .

[GentlemanJim]

Could take over High Life Lounge Thursday night…
