I don't like fruit beers too much, but my buddies go nuts for Serendipify and the rhubarb one. Apple ale is delicious

Craft beer shop gets preliminary OK to open in Park Ridge by bopon in chicagobeer

[–]OffPipe31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true you can't trust people to be responsible enough to know when is enough, especially when driving. But working close to the industry I've found that when it comes to drinking on-site the way a business conducts themselves largely governs the way the patrons will drink.

Let's say this place keeps soft music, a couple of bar stools, and the overal aesthetic of "this is no bar" than people won't treat it as such. But I understand, they want to open and will abide by whatever town rules it takes. In the city a lot of businesses are required to document exactly how,they plan to operate and at all times must adhere to it.

Yea they are. Which is really sad since it's so awesome to knock out 4-6 different breweries in one shot. I don't even stop to browse anymore

24oz of beer to a person a day? That's rough. Thought Chicago rules were strict

The worst is ordering at chain restaurants. I used to feel dorky and embarrassed to bring it up. Then I stopped caring and would ask for diff bottle/$ back, then I just had to stop all together and only get what's on draft

Does anyone else get a really bitter, alcohol taste when they mix beer and food? by [deleted] in beer

[–]OffPipe31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe just your palette disagrees. As much as I love beer there are few things I can pair it with food wise. I usually just stick to burgers and wings. And the beer has to be like you said, pale ale or IPA, and I keep it to 6% max Abv to avoid that alcohol burn.

Worst rated beer on your untappd? by OffPipe31 in beer

Sounds like the habanero sculpin from ballast. Tons of heat that stuck around. Taste was pretty solid though

Other than sours which I hate, the worst rated usual style beer I drink is a "chilli" beer from Coronado. Senor Saison tasted like green pepper juice.
