Any interest in a brewery meet?

[Aron]

I know there's some craft beer snobs in here other than me. Any interest in meeting up at a brewery in the next couple of weeks? It will most likely have to happen on a Saturday evening due to my work schedule.

I'd be enticed depending on the day.

 

[Sprayin]

On a weekend I should be in.

 

[boostedguy05]

Depends on when and where. We have a lot of traveling coming up.

My buddy opened a place up in St Charles last year called Riverlands. He’d be happy to host us if anyone’s interested in that location.

 

[Great White Drake]

Oh, Aron you know the place lol.

 

[Aron]

Yes, I frequent Riverlands

I'm open to locations, feel free to throw out some options...or we can do Riverlands lol

 

[DanJ]

I know it’s your buddies, but is the beer good?

damn they review very well on untapped.

 

[Aron]

Riverlands is amazing, to be honest. It's a hidden gem that's quickly gaining a huge following.

 

[Aron]

Im actually going there in a couple hours. Stopping in there on the way to meet my brother before we go to Old Irving and Maplewood.

He was my old neighbor and I used to help him brew in his garage. A few members here actually joined in one night as well. Beer is great, I’m glad he’s doing so well.

 

[Aron]

Shall we just do Riverlands? Is that ok with everyone?

7th, 14th, or 21st?

 

[Mook]

I'm not sure when I'm going my family Christmas. I'm gonna assume the 21st. The 14th would probably work best for me personally. But up to everyone else.

I'm not a big fan of Old Irving or Maplewood. Both are down the street from me and I rarely go. Metropolitan is pretty good if you're in the area.

Me and the GF are making an effort to hit every brewery in Chicagoland, and I haven't been to Riverlands yet, so that would be a nice box check.

I could do the 14th, I'm out on the 7th. Maybe the 21st.

I went there a few months back. Smallish inside but I enjoyed the beers offered.

Interesting perspective. I’ve liked everything from maple wood that I’ve had. Granted I primarily like ales and all sorts of fuck you in the face hop blast IPA’s so that may have something to do with it.

21st would be a no for me for sure. 7th and 14th are good for me.

I like ales and IPAs too. I like stouts and porters as well. I just dont like lagers or pilsners or anything that is overly fruity, and thats what both of those were filled with when I went.

Although, breweries in Chicago are notorious for changing their *entire* lineup seasonally, and we went to most of these places in the summer. So there may be better beers this time of year.

Doin the crawl this weekend if anyone is interested

That's him?!?

 

[Mook]

Fuck. I'm out the 14th too. The one month a year I leave the house regularly.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Yeah December is hard to schedule stuff

 

[Aron]

Well shit. Maybe we wait until after the first of the year then? I know it's a busy time of year for a lot of people.

 

[EmersonHart13]

January is usually waaay easier

 

[Aron]

Well until then, if anybody wants to grab a beer on a Friday or Saturday let me know lol. I'm probably going to hit up Riverlands tomorrow. It's been a couple weeks since I've been there.
