Not one of my faves, but anytime a beer finally makes a debut at a new area is always a reason for celebration.

:drink :drink

 

I quite enjoy Fat Tire, but their Grand Cru is 10x as amazing.

 

I have a good clone recipe for Fat Tire that was a homebrew staple a couple years ago. I'd do a double batch and batch sparge two identical runnings, and I'd ferment one with a good Belgian Abbey yeast and the other with Chico 1056 (Sierra). The Chico yeast actually came out closer to fat tire, but the abbey yeast gave a lot more complexity and was always my preference.

WHA???  Oh HELLS yes!!!! :cheers  :drink

 

OK, so, I went to the website for Shiner brewery, and it says it's not available in Illinois. Which is weird, 'cause like I said, I've seen it. Maybe they got it illegally? I'll see if they have it next time I go in there.

 

Anyway, the map shows you can get it in WI, MN, IA, MO and other nearby states, but not IL or IN. Weird.

Can you get Boulevard in Chicago?  It's made in Kansas City, and their Pale Ale is very tasty.

 

No you can't. My mom lives in Rochester Minnesota and every visit requires me to bring a few cases of Boulevard back, along with Schells Pilsner. My boss LOVES Boulevard. I find them O.K. A little too watery for me. I have the Bully Porter and Pale in my fridge right now.
