dasox24 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 QUOTE (Disco72 @ Oct 22, 2012 -> 12:41 PM) It used to be called Marble City, but they had a trademark issue and had to change their name. It's kind of off the beaten path in the Old City on Depot Street. Oh okay. Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He_Gawn Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'm a pretty big beer geek. Just picked up 2 cases of Zombie Dust from 3 Floyds last week. I'll be enjoying one when I get home soon. Best beer in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He_Gawn Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Haha, there's a reason it's a 100/100 on BeerAdvocate and is almost impossible to get!! Try the Broo Doo if you get the chance, incredible. Gumballhead and Alpha King are also great too. Can't beat 3 Floyds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm going to have to make a "to get" list when I'm back in IL over the Christmas holiday where the pickin's are pretty good. Here in TN that's not so much the case. Really enjoying the locally brewed Yazoo Hefeweizen (favorite style of beer already) that was recommended to me already ITT. Awesome alternative to what had previously been my favorite in this style, Franziskaner (unfortunately owned by AB InBev). I will probably stick with the Yazoo indefinitely for this style. I also got a sixer of this even more local (Memphis) brew, Ghost River. Probably a bit more forgettable, honestly. Their best brew is one they don't bottle at this point, an amber ale. This one is a Kolsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The New Glarus cherry beer (new belgium red) is absolutely delicious. It's not manly beer, but who cares, great as a change of pace. Over a pound of cherries in every bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illinilaw08 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Triton in Indy has a peanut butter brown on tap right now. Spectacular. Also of note, for those in Indy, SunKing has the best deal ever on Fridays (not new news, but passing it along for those that might not know)... $5 growler re-fills on Wee Mac, Osiris and the cream ale. The craft beer scene in Indy has become quite good over the past 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 I like to ask this to beer lovers... how much/often do you drink? I assume most of us don't get hammered from our beer on a TOO regular basis, but I know a guy that is professional bodybuilder yet hardly spends a night sober. Freak of nature. I tend to drink 1 per day, sometimes up to 3. I rarely, if ever, drink to intoxication...I'm just too busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 So I;ve taken a real interest in Pilsners this year for some reason, mostly drinking Krombacher and Victory. Any other interesting ones out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The craft beer scene in Indy has become quite good over the past 5 years. No doubt. It's really taking off. Sun King is great. Triton too. The up and comer Flat 12 is also turning some heads. Then you have Upland in Bloomington that is fantastic. 3 Floyds in Munster. Peoples... could go on forever. Craft beer in Indiana is huge.

Glad its widespread though. For awhile there you had the same beers on tap at every hotel I stayed at around the country unless you went to Colorado or the west coast. Now everyone has their own beer selections and its great for the consumer and the small business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then I usually have a few beers once or twice during the week. That'll change a little when Illini basketball comes back to weekday nights. Do more heavy drinking when nervous/anxious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
