So Just got back from Chicago, I also took a trip up to Western Michigan....went to Two Brothers in my hometown of Warrenville, IL and also went to Bell's in Kalamazoo. Sorta went a little crazy buying stuff I can't get out here in the west. Be jealous....The Two Brother's Baretree Weiss Wine is my prize....i might have to wait til my 30th to crack it open. We got a little tour at 2 bros as well....went in the distributor warehouse that is attached to the brewery...and holy god it was heaven. Don't have those pictures yet though as they are on my bros camera...i'll just post some of my amazing loot.

NICE!!! Looks like you got the motherload there. Good selection of beers it seems to me. I like to stock up too when I get back up to Ohio every now and again. Enjoy the Great Lakes beers they are superb.

Oh, btw... I had the Antique Amber Lager from Crown Valley Brewing. They make some very nice beers. The Pilsener is nice too. Cheers.

Yea I went with the Holy Moses cause I have never had it...My favorite is the Burning River, i should have grabbed one but I forgot to get a cart and I could only hold 4 6ers.

Dude.

I know...I probably spent more on beer than I did on gas getting there.

Thats totally it too...every gas station, convenience store, liquor store, brewery, etc I checked out the beer and had to grab something.

Oh, btw... I had the Antique Amber Lager from Crown Valley Brewing. They make some very nice beers. The Pilsener is nice too. Cheers.

I had one of those last night...great beer, never heard of the brewery before I ran into the 6er at Binny's.

Nice haul! I was able to grab a Weiss wine during my last trip to up north for Dark Lord day. Now when to drink it is the question!

Yea, that Crown Vally amber is great stuff! You should have let us know you were coming to IL, we could have meet you at 2 bros! BTW, it's great to see Cane and Ebel in 6 packs now, it used to only be in 4 packs.

Each bottle is < 3.4 oz and it all fits into a quart sized ziplock bag.

Hmm Clothes? Beer? I know what I would choose to bring back if I had to. Is that where pantless brewing came from?? :)
