ChicagoBeerReview #2: The Picture?

Oh yeah, that. It's from Breckenridge in Denver, CO, at 2200 Blake Street, right across the street from Coors Field. It's pretty good if you're in that neighborhood, a little sports-bar-ish which should be expected from a brewpub across from a baseball stadium. There craft brews are decent at best, maybe it was the altitude for me. I did not find the brews or the atmosphere to be as unique as I prefer. They do have a board with standards and rotating, seasonal brews for constant variety; I did like that. If you like sports bars and ok craft beer, it's a good stop if you get out that way, don't forget to take your camera and get a shot of the ball park.

I must digress for a moment: Speaking of Coors, how freaking great is that comercial where the voice is dramatic and pronounces Coors as (Kew'-ers). It's a freaking awesome way to talk for fun.

Next time, I'll review a place that's just around the corner from Chicago that I thoroughly enjoy.

ChicagoBeerReview #1: Start with #1...

This is the first edition of the ChicagoBeerReview, a blog that focuses on fine beer drinking in Chicago. The goal is to list and review fine beer serving establishments, makers of fine beer, and events that contribute to the drinking of fine beer in Chicago. I hope to inform the readers about bars, restaurants, breweries, stores, and brands that contribute to the delivery of fine beers. I will post food and drink specials as well...and probably some ranting and raving.

First and foremost, I'm going to bring out the big guns to start with. I would like to request that every beer drinker try Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA
at least once in your life. This continually hopped IPA from Milton, DE, boasts 20% alcohol content (more if it's aged longer) and a unique, sweet flavor unlike any I have ever tasted. It's well worth the extra money you will spend on a bottle. It dosen't get much better than this.

That's it for CBR #1, there will be more to come in the future. For now: enjoy!
