If you really, really love him... "The Beer Cave"!
Isn't Goose Island owned by Bud or Coors or something like that? Last year a guy in the industry told me it was but there is nothing on the bottle that says so.
That being said I used to drink summer brews all summer long but since last year I've migrated to just IPA's and Newcastle. Sierra Nevada Torpedo is pretty damn good.
We were in Burlington, Vermont this weekend and I tried something brewed there called "Alchemist Heady Topper".
It was definitely unique.
I hope you tried some of the brews from Switchback up that way... stumbled upon it years ago while killing time for a Magic Hat tour... ended up being the best beer we had.We were in Burlington, Vermont this weekend and I tried something brewed there called "Alchemist Heady Topper".

Here in NY State, Wegman's has this crazy deal called "Craft Your Own Pack" for $8.99. You basically grab assorted bottles off several shelves and make your own 6. The weird thing is that they have high value beers on those shelves like Sam Smith's and Ommegang. A 4 pack of Ommegang usually goes for $12-13 there, but a 6 pack can be had for $9 if you're willing to put the bottles in the pack yourself.
And, of course, Ommegang is the best beer made in NY State, and probably top 10 in America.
Goose Island is pretty freaking average. Give me some Alpha King, Gumballhead or Zombie Dust from Three Floyd's brewing or anything at Revolution Brewing or Half Acre out here in Chicago, they blow Goose Island out of the water.

Haha, are you talking about Lou Malnati's? I like thin crust Connecticut pizza more than any pizza I've ever had but for deep dish Malnati's and Pequod's are pretty tasty.I'll drink the average poser beer and wear your scorn with pride to avoid going to Chicago and be added to their out of control murder numbers.
Rudy's deep dish is the only thing in Chicago worth risking your life.

If you like IPA's try Lagunitas IPA - can't miss the bottle as it has in great big letters IPA. Stone IPA is also good. Sierra Torpedo not so good...well for my taste. For me IPA's taste best out of a frosted glass.Isn't Goose Island owned by Bud or Coors or something like that?
