Re: 2022 Autumn Beer Release

I'm curious about that Allsops. I hadn't heard much about them, I'm sure many of you know more than I do, but I gather they're an old defunct British brand that's being reborn.

Re: Chicago

Great posts in this thread Cass!

I’ll be in Chicago downtown late October. Any recommendations on hotels or areas to book for easy access to breweries/craft beer bars? Also going to the united centre, how is the craft beer scene around there?

Cheers!
