Chicago Craft Beer Festival

Wow, the skies were pitched black as we left to go into the city to the Chicago Craft Beer festival at St. Michael Parish in Old Town section of Chicago. But then the heavens opened up and as we got to the church it was blue skies and a perfect day for a festival.

No, we did not attend mass before partaking in the sampling of some fine craft brews. They had some good food there as well but we were there for the beer, cheers. The beer gods were upon us since the threat of rain and showers had passed over us.

There was a pretty decent selection of craft beers to choose from. Among those that were there was Finch's, Half Acre, Two Brothers, Lakefront, Lagunitas, Flying Dog, Chicago Beer Company, Stone, Ommegang, etc.

Most of the beers that I had sampled I liked but then there was one from some brewery from Missouri that was so awful I had to spit it out hahah. Ah and they had one of my new favorites, Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale there and since my brother didn't like it I was able to have his sample as well so double the pleasure. The Howling Wolf unfiltered wheat was another excellent beer there that I enjoyed quite a bit.

Good food, great beer, some god music, and a beautiful day. Alternative Theory was the only band that we saw perform but that's okay cause we were mainly there for beer. It was a fun day and you just should of been there.

Cheers!!!!!!!!
