Hanging out in Bridgeport tonight. We are at Off Hours Chicago - brewpub located in the historic Ramova Theater.

We are both having Southside Legend, a Hazy IPA.

He had poutine and wings.

I had vegan chili and most of the chips and salsa verde.

The music is chill - they have A Tribe Called Quest on heavy rotation!

Got another stamp for my Craft Beer Passport!

Hanging out in St. Charles (West of downtown) Brother Chimp Brewing !

She had a Red Wine and said it was excellent!

My flight from left: Calamanasi Kölsch (Kölsch with Calamanasi fruit from the Philippines ), Bloom (table beer with Rose Hips & Hibi), Ludwig (Vienna Lager), and Tropical Chimp.

My favorite? The Tropical Chimp is excellent but my favorite is Calamanasi Kölsch because of the Calamanasi flavor!

Get over to Brother Chimp in St. Charles!

Hanging out at Black Horizon Brewing Company in Willowbrook

Got Kim's Uncle Pizza in Westmont first. BHBC is only 14 minutes from the pizzeria.

She had a Red wine and I had 3 half pours: Dune Shaper (Golden Ale w/Blueberry), Midnight Fist Fight (DDH Citra Hazy IPA, and Craig's Miata (DDH Simcoe / Citra Hazy IPA).

All are excellent...but my favorite? Their Midnight Fist Fight. A fantastic Hazy IPA!
