Beer is (thankfully) not one of them anymore. Try a Sam Adams Porter. Anchor Steam Pilsner. State Street Ale. or any of the thousands of other microbrews available in the states. House 'o' beer in Chicago has some ungodly number or beers on tap (300? 500?) most of which are American. Just because most of the ads are by the big boys with the tasteless beer, doesn't mean that good beer doesn't exist. Don't blame me. I voted with the majority.
Post #36,955 by boxley 4/30/02 3:55:49 PM Reply	the three you mentioned taste like Whizz In chicago the only drinkable bottled beer was something with geese on the label. Great stuff. Most microbrews are pretentious crap that figger an effluence of hops and burning the barley will kill the taste. There are a few good ones but none that match up with exhibition ale, or a true whitbreads or a guinness draft in Ireland, not the hog piss they sell here. thanx, bill TAM ARIS QUAM ARMIPOTENS

Been to both several times, and was always pleased with both the food and beer. Don't know if both are still in existence. Hope to get a job soon back in Chicago so I can return to a truly great city. lincoln "Four score and seven years ago, I had a better sig"

I'm not familiar with the brepub you speak of in downtown Naperville, however. Though a couple of Rock Bottom breweries have crept up here and there. There's also one in downtown Downer's Grove called something like "Founder's." Their raspberry wheat is good stuff. -YendorMike Real programmers use "vi a.out".

(I think the one in RM is now a cajun place). Yendor claims tha the Aurora place is still there...he live in that neighborhood so he would know. I heard that the Aurora place had gone the way of the other two...but what do I know.... jb4 (Resistance is not futile...) Edited by jb4 May 3, 2002, 02:22:12 AM EDT Expand All History

Post #37,114 by lincoln 5/1/02 5:56:16 PM Reply	Ever go to Berghoff's? Their story is that they get their beer custom made from a Wisconsin brewery. I enjoyed many a lunch at the stand up bar, having a cold one (or three) with a roast beef or thuringer sandwich. lincoln "Four score and seven years ago, I had a better sig"
Post #37,189 by Silverlock 5/2/02 10:22:03 AM Reply	Excellent lunch counter White bratwurst and Berghoff's dark beer make a fine combination. A top notch restaurant upstairs. They also sponser a Oktoberfest that is suprisingly good for the size limitaton. Met Bob Dole there the year he kicked off his pres campaign in Chicago. Odd experience. Very serious men in dark glasses came in and took up strategic positions around the joint. A few minutes later Dole comes in and shakes hands around the place. The man was frail looking and shorter than he seems on the tube. Still didn't vote for him. Don't blame me. I voted with the majority.
