FBD Crew: Visiting Chicago Advice
Posted on 6/13/16 at 12:26 pm

Heading to Chicago next week and have the evening of Tuesday 6/21 bookmarked to enjoy some brews and deep dish pizza. Any suggestions, best practices from the almighty FBD crew? I'm staying in Rosemont and Ubering around, so don't really want to go further south than downtown.
So far I'm thinking:
Stop 1 at Half Acre Beer Co.
Stop 2 at either the Lou Malnati's about a block away from Half Acre or the Bartoli's on W. Addison
Stop 3 at Revolution Brewing
TIA

Revolution and half Acre are good breweries to visit, 3 Floyds also but that's south of downtown but well worth it. West Loop area has great restaurants and bars. I'd check out Parlor Pizza, Girl and the Goat or Au Cheval all in the west loop area.
Also, If you're coming from Rosemont I'd take the blue line into downtown then uber from there.

Very nice, thanks! I think I've heard of Girl and the Goat on here a couple times--will check it out
I considered FFF but it's a little too far out there for me to get to timely--going for a work training which won't end until 6pm. Pipeworks isn't open to the public

Goose Island Clybourn for a pint or two. Walk across the street to Binny's for some bottles to take home. Half Acre is a good one, directly across the road is The Bad Apple which makes killer burgers and has a solid tap list. Rev gets very, very busy.

I am also interested in good beers available in the Chicago area. I have a guy I trade with who will be their next week. What should I have him pickup other than Pipeworks and Half Acre?

If he's just hitting bottle shops, these are notable breweries have distribution there that don't have distro in Louisiana

Good list. Half acre is in a crappy location but a cool little spot to visit.
Ditkas for dinner is always on my list. Go sit in the 2nd level when John Vincent is singing. Dude can humm.
