My Brother in law and I will be in the city on Dec 19-21. Just wondering if you all can recommend some good places for us to go. We were originally planning on going to the closing of the Clayborn Goose. Glad that its not now closing. Anyway I already have us going to GI, Delilahs, Map Room, etc. Is there any other good places for reasonable priced beer/food for that weekend? Also is there any good beer stores that will be open Sunday out of the city (I hate paying the city income tax!) going back to Michigan? Thanks for all your input.

Also the Rock Bottom downtown is always good. Sam's Wine & Spirits should be open on Sunday, as should Binny's - South Loop (which has 10 taps of excellent beers). Unfortunately both are in the city. You can check Binny's website for locations in the southern suburbs. I know there is one in Orland Park, but that may be out of your way. DiCarlos in Mundelein is an excellent choice but they are far north suburbs. On the way back to (or from) Michigan, you do have Flossmoor Station Brewpub and Three Floyds Brewpub. -----Original Message----- >From: David Cords <dcords(a)GMAIL.COM> >Sent: Dec 9, 2008 11:21 AM >To: CBS-HB(a)LISTSERV.UIC.EDU >Subject: Good happy hour/cheap eats in Chicago > >Hello fellow CBS'ers David Cords here.

Especially Downtown, but also at their other Chicago area locations too. The highest local tax is the Cook County tax. Going back to Michigan, I don't know where you're going to find anything that's outside of Cook County. For instance, Binny's Orland is still in Cook. DuPage County is way out of your way - even at less than $2/gallon, you'll still spend more on gas than you'll save on tax. (I'd recommend a store in DuPage only if you were headed west.) So you might as well just go to Sam's or Binny's in the city. The Binny's at I-90/94 @ Roosevelt, and the Sam's across from Goose Island, are both "destination" stores the likes of which you will not find elsewhere. Also don't ignore West Lakeview Liquors at 2156 W Addison. If you're shopping for price, the low prices at the Foremost at 2041 N Ashland (known locally as "Mr. Lee's") more than offset the higher taxes, so you might try there first and fill in what else you want elsewhere. Their craft beer selection is very good, but not as deep as Sam's and Binny's. (It's in the strip mall behind Dunkin Donuts at that address.) Roger Deschner rogerd(a)uic.edu Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver." --by Jack Handy On Tue, 9 Dec 2008, David Cords wrote: >Hello fellow CBS'ers David Cords here.

North Ave). It's a nice escape from your typical gastro-pub fare, mostly vegetarian (some fish dishes), and all delicious. They always have great beers on tap and in bottles---seems like they switch it up weekly. It's a nice change of scenery from your average beer bar. Jerry's Sandwiches (1938 W Division St). An enormous beer list---easily over a hundred different bottles---all american craft brews. And there are something like 200 sandwiches on the menu. -Chris Ellis On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 11:47 AM, Roger Deschner <rogerd(a)uic.edu> wrote: > Rock Bottom has a special Sunday football-watchers menu that is very > reasonably priced, and their beer at all locations is clearly worth a > visit too.

Fantastic burgers, wide beer selection, and a mean mac and cheese.

2008 Holiday Potluck reminder

by Chris Smith

2008 Holiday Potluck Where: CSPS Hall - 383 Michigan St., St. Paul - Above the Glockenspiel Restaurant - corner of Michigan St & West 7th When: Friday, December 12th from 6:00 PM-10:00PM New this Year: The club is providing a 5 gallon keg of La Rulles Erpe-Mere Saison as a special treat for those attending. Raffle for the Minnesota Food Shelves: We will be selling raffle tickets for chances to win door prizes. All proceeds will go to the Minnesota food shelves. The prizes include a free hour on the Pedal Pub, 2 bottles of Surly Darkness , Still H2O gift certificate, a copy of "Amber Waters" by Doug Hoverson, 2 bottles of mead from the Mead Maker of the Year, and more. What to bring: Food: Bring a dish to share (the theme is dishes prepared with BEER), copies of the recipe, serving utensils and extension cords if necessary. A "People's Choice" award will be given for the best potluck dish with beer as an ingredient. Plates, napkins, and silverware will be provided. Beer to share: Bring any beer, mead or cider you wish to share. There will be a "Peoples Choice" award given for the best beer, mead or cider. Bottles, growlers or keg are welcome. The style of the month for December is American Wheat or Rye, so don't forget to bring yours along to earn your SOTM sticker for December. You can also bring any American IPAs from November's SOTM. Don't forget a small tasting glass, some plastic glasses will be available in case of emergency. Beer to exchange: Bring up to 24 bottles to exchange with your fellow homebrewers. Label each bottle with your name, email address, style and beer name (if it has one). Everyone who participated draws a number and then selects a bottle in order until they receive as many bottles as they brought. Family and Friends: This is a family friendly event, so bring your significant other, kids, and any friends/family that have ever expressed an interest in homebrewing or beer. Just to be clear you or your guest don't have to be a club member to attend(a few people were wondering). Since this is one of the most attended gatherings of the year, it's a great opportunity to get out and meet your fellow homebrewers. If you have not made it to a meeting , the Holiday potluck is a perfect chance to try some great homebrew, delicious food and exchange homebrew with others. If you have not renewed you membership or would like to sign-up for a club membership, our member director should be on hand to collect your money and hand out your new membership cards. Which for those who don't are good for a 10% discount at the local homebrew shops(Northern Brewer, Midwest Supply, Brew & Grow, & Still-H2O) Additionally, the beers brewed during last month's "teach a friend to homebrew" will be available for all to try. We are still looking for a few more prizes for the raffle, If anyone has a prize winning brew, beer swag, or homebrewing paraphanalia they are willing to donate contact me at the email below. If you have any questions or need directions send me an email at <mailto:csmitty42@yahoo.com> csmitty42(a)yahoo.com. Hope to see you there.

Very Basic Mead Question

by Will Holway

Hi there, If anyone remembers WindRiver Brewing that was me, it is a little disappointing that none of the homebrewers I have run across seem to have ever heard of it. Oh well. Anyway, a guy at work got me 10 lbs of honey from his dad in Mankato who is a bee keeper. I was thinking about doing like a 1/2 batch to make a sweet mead. Any recommendations on yeast? Also, I was considering doing either a cold mead, or someone told me that you can bring water to a boil add Irish Moss and boil that for 10 minutes, then shut off the heat and add the honey to the hot water. Also, is Mead like beer in that it needs to be chilled very quickly for clarity and other reasons? Sorry for all the questions :) Cheers, Will H
