**** Annual Northern Illinois Brethren Mid Winter Gathering, 2019 Edition!!! - Saturday, Jan. 26th, 2019

[LYU370]

I asked on their FB page if they'll have anything besides stouts & IPAs as not all of us are hipsters. I don't care for stouts & I despise IPAs.

Don't know if it's true or not, but I heard the first IPA was a terrible accident. Instead of dumping it all, the brewery convinced hipsters it was a new type of delicious beer.

TAP LIST
Mexican Hot Chocolate Stout • Stout - Other • 5.9% ABV
Stout Man • Imperial Stout • 10.6% ABV • 50 IBU
Providence • Coffee Milk Stout • 5.4% ABV • 22 IBU
Mixed Up Again • IPA - Belgian • 5.4% ABV • 45 IBU
Invader • IPA - American • 6.6% ABV
Vanilla Stout-man • Stout - Imperial / Double • 10.6% ABV

I might be a minus -1 (riding solo) depending on this weekend's competition in Geneva.

Looks like its only the Mix It Up Again for me as well.

Maybe they also have cans for sale?

Weird thing about cans and tap rooms though, usually the laws prohibit consumption on premises, however since they will technically not be "open" until 2pm, maybe it is allowed?
