Ahhhh…The Cubs! They choke every year. But I sure as hell love them anyway. Wrigley Field may also just be one of my favorite places on earth. And it’s the only place I’ll truly be happy to drink and Old Style. When you’re in Chicago there are easily a million things to do and see, and one of them for me is to hit up all the fancy liquor stores and beer bars. Ever heard of The Map Room? How about The Hopleaf? GO! One liquor store in particular is Binny’s in the South Loop. This place is so large, you could spend an afternoon in this booze hound geek land. That’s exactly what I did on my last visit, and let me tell you it wasn’t cheap. But the experience from the beer will last a lifetime. In this case, it’s the Allagash White — a very nice Belgian Witbier replete with some fine Belgian-style yeasts, coriander, and orange peel. Not one of Allagash’s more sought after beers, it is still quite a wonderful beer. Next time you get back from mowing your yard and want a nice refreshing beer to drink in your pleated slacks, you’ll know exactly where to turn.
