Re: Beer
Ever been to the Binny's? They've got an overwhelming selection of wine and beer and the staff is very helpful. The one on Butterfield Rd. in Downer's Grove is particularly good.

Plus being able to get more than a few Yorkshire Ales at whole foods and having one on my door step is all I really need when it comes to ale.

Re: Beer
By the way, Bells is from Kalamazoo Michigan, thats if you are talking about the same Bells, Oberon, Expedition Stout, Hopslam etc? I have a Cajun Restaurant and we sell Abita Beers for the masses, personally I think all their beers are dreadfull with almost no taste at all. But thats just my opinion!!
If someone comes in and asks for something different, I always ask them what they usually drink, and they reply Bud Light or Miller Lite, so I let them taste an Abita Amber and they go for it almost every time, I'm always tempted to say yes, thats because it tastes of nothing!!

I am currently working my way through a 6-pack of Victory HopDevil Ale-- I love this stuff on the colder nights.

Re: Beer
I agree, about their best ale is Turbodog IMO, and even that I wouldn't purchase unless it was on sale. The Abita Amber Larger is just awful, period. It is right up there with Bud, Sam Adams, Blue Moon etc.
