You can't throw a rock & not find Metro

It's been awhile since I've perused the customer information provided by our distributor (Windy City) and, golly, how awesome to see who has picked us up in the last month or two. The list is always growing and there are 100s of bars, restaurants and stores in the city and suburbs that support us. Here are a few newer places that piqued my interest:
  • Nightwood: the much-talked about sibling to Logan Square's Lula Cafe
  • Publican: Meat. And serious beer. And communal eating. And Paul Kahan.
  • Scoozi: A tasty Italian Let Us Entertain You Restaurant. Nice to see.
  • Streetside: where I go on Monday's for 25 cent wings!
  • Rossi's: my favorite dive when I find myself in River North/downtown
  • Half Acre, Goose Island (Clybourn) & Rock Bottom: our fellow crafts people have us on tap! Nice!
  • Elysian Hotel: one of the newest, swankiest Gold Coast hotels!
  • And the list goes on...
Plus we cannot forget the most excellent (and limited) Generator Doppelbock, available only on draft. Here's the latest:
The Bank Restaurant, 121 W Front St, Wheaton Black Rock Pub, 3614 N. Damen, Chicago Charlie's Ale House, 5308 N. Clark, Chicago Fitzgerald's, 6615 W. Roosevelt, Berwyn Hackney's, 733 S. Dearborn, Chicago Hopleaf, 5148 N. Clark, Chicago Jerry's Sandwiches, 1938 W. Division, Chicago Map Room 1949 N. Hoyne, Chicago Marion Street Cheese Market, 100 S. Marion Street, Oak Park Paddy Long's, 1028 W. Diversey, Chicago Poag Mahone's, 333 S Wells St, Chicago Small Bar, 2049 W. Division, Chicago Smoke Daddy, 1804 W. Division, Chicago Tavern, 519 N. Milwaukee Ave, Libertyville Uncommon Ground, 1401-1405 W. Devon, Chicago
Love how I can walk to Small Bar, Smoke Daddy, Jerry's or the Map Room for some of that delicious 8.2% doppelbock. Finally Metro is making its way south to my neck of the woods! But that doesn't change the fact that I live five miles from the brewery, my part-time home. Related links: Off-premise Google Map, On-premise Google Map, Metro's website
