You might be able to find some Zombie Dust up that way.

Get anything from Great Lakes, flossmore, three Floyd's, bells, half acre, dark horse, surly, central waters, and tyranena. All those are great breweries.

None.

Absolutely none.

Zip.

Nothing.

Add a splash of bourbon or rum to a small shot of your favorite soy sauce (I prefer Kikkoman) and you have effectively replicated BA DL...



Pipeworks, Revolution and some Three Floyds should be found. I'd look into seeing if any of the Goose Island Brewpubs (Clybourn) have any bottled offerings.

I've heard some of them are crazy sweet. Hell, the base beer is pretty sweet.

I am intrigued by BVDL though. Wonder if the price of admission will ever drop.

We cracked a 12' Cognac DL a few weeks ago. Even with a few years of age it was difficult to drink.
