Let’s Get Obtuse!
Save the date and book your tickets because you can catch a Peen Simmons and @Dew Knot Humps double bill on Saturday, May 30th in Chicago at a brewery where the beer is so good no one even thinks of drinking Schlitz.
Better than Baimun? Sexier than Smurfco? Better accommodations than the Elkhart, Indiana Holiday Inn Express?!?

All of the fun without the bedbugs.
I haven’t looked at my calendar yet, but this may be one I might make. Can a man park a Cadillac in that neighborhood or should I drive the Chevy?

The marketing angle….
No one even thinks of drinking Schlitz. So, don’t think. Buy Schlitz. The beer you drink without thinking.

The neighborhood where this is taking place has more cops per capita living there than any other Chicago neighborhood.

Somehow I'm not comforted by that fact.
How far from an Amtrak stop? (not that I'm comfy there either)
Since I kind of know you guys I promise I'll throw softer tomatoes and not apples as I usually do.

You’d be perfectly fine parking in the neighborhood. It’s the part of the city that is permanently 1965.
Amtrak rolls into downtown. From there you walk to the Blue Line. If you take the Blue Line to Harlem, it’s maybe a mile walk to the place.
The brewery is about 2.5 miles from my house and if I don’t feel like walking the whole way, I will often take transit to the Harlem blue line stop and walk (or do the opposite on the return) because the Northwest Highway bus doesn’t run all night or super frequently.

In a way it saddens me that people think Chicago is so dangerous that it’s something to worry about.

My daughter lives in Baltimore, she gets that a lot too. I think most major cities have their areas that you want to avoid, but that's just a fraction of what's there.

If I was closer the Chicago, I'd definitely put in the effort to show up. Live music and good beer is always a winning combo in my book.
Would the brewmaster be offended if I asked which of their brews is similar to Schiltz? Old Schlitz that is, not the new budget garbage recipe.

The Saloon is good people.

Pours are different sizes based on style/ABV. Some stuff in 16oz pints. A lot of 13oz pours—especially for your heavier double dry hopped IPAs and weird experiments. There’s currenly a Belgian Quad on the menu with a 10oz standard pour, but it’s a big boy so that’s likely for safety.
Beer wise, this joint leans into the weird stuff. They do really nice hazy and west coast IPAs and number of tasty farmhouse and sour things. And then some absolutely batshit stuff. It’s a fun place.

I would actually consider a weekend in Chicago for that, among other things, but I have a gig that night.

Still plenty of time make reservations at a sleazy motel near the brewery for what could possibly be the best night of your life!

Indeed. Any forumites who attend are entitled to one free photo with my dad. This is a $45 dollar value! I bet he will even throw in some unsolicited baseball observations at no additional charge.
