What were you drinking a decade ago? The amount of 10-year anniversary celebrations this month made us ask: Was June 2014 the high water mark in Chicago craft beer history? open.substack.com/pub/karlgdb/p/…


Well okay, there you go:

Dark Brandon demands you check out this week's Beer Labels email. He's hiding behind the paywall, just waiting to strike: open.substack.com/pub/karlgdb/p/…

Came back to Twitter for the first time in weeks just to see this. Thanks @chicagobars !

FREE PLUG: @guysdrinkinbeer has a free newsletter chock full of Midwest beer news. If you haven't subscribed for years now what's wrong with you? open.substack.com/pub/karlgdb/p/…



Building a list. Is your Chicago-area brewery taproom open on Christmas Day? Let us know what hours, please and thank you. CC @chicagobars


A few thoughts on the end of Goose's original brewpub plus this week's events and social updates. Fare thee well, Clybourn. So Long, Goose Clybourn, and Thanks for All the Stilton Burgers: open.substack.com/pub/karlgdb/p/…


We don't have anything to sell you for #BlackFriday, we just have a freshly updated Chicagoland Craft Beer Map for you (added two new breweries this AM!) in case you need to find someplace nearby to grab a #beer today: guysdrinkingbeer.com/chicago-craft-…


Metro and Goose Clybourn announcing their closing dates in the same week? Anyone else want to kick us in the heart while they're at it?

35 years ago, in 1988, we opened our doors on Clybourn Avenue. 12/10 marks our last day of serving the public at our Brewhouse. We hope to have a final pint with you before we head over to our new location: Goose Island at The Salt Shed in 2024.

Metropolitan Brewing has announced that they'll be closing for good on December 17th. Goddammit. End of an era. instagram.com/p/Czo348-PCmk/…


Hey @OtherHalfNYC -- what's up with this Chicago project? Shoot us a note, wouldja? open.substack.com/pub/karlgdb/p/…


Remember: A bankruptcy filing does not mean an impending closure. Chapter 11 restructures debt so it can be paid off while the business stays open. Go to Metro and drink their beer while reading this: ag.state.il.us/consumers/bank…

Got this tip from an IG follower. Will be interesting to watch this unfold.
