Around Town 1st Quarter

Happy New Year.

Baderbrau is going to build a brewery/taproom on South Wabash.

Scorched Earth Foraging Swine is out in 750ml bottles and draft. 7.7% smoked amber ale.

Any other new breweries and beers out there?

Indeed, Motor Row debuts tonight at Dry Hop. Gonna scrutinize their helles.

And that Scorched earth beer sounds similar to Furthermore Floating Fire which is in 6 pks.

Anyone know who will be distributing Bell’s in McHenry County after January 15, when their current distributor (the Pabst house) there folds? Supposedly most/all the brands will go to the local Miller distro. Does Bell’s distribute through any Miller houses?

Not feeling the motor row helles. Its harsh. Such a hard beer to brew why bother sometimes.

Has this been covered already and I completely missed it??

They hadn’t posted them (reminded them yesterday) but the hours for Motor Row are Thurs-Sat 4-10PM for anyone looking to get out there.

Was hoping to hit it sometime tomorrow. Have updated the Place location with these as well.
