Members Thunderbroom Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 As some of you know, Stone is coming to Chicago starting tomorrow. They are kicking off their availability by having events all over Chicago. I looked on their site realized that they have a huge event this Saturday close to my house (less than 10 miles). Here's the details from their site: Finnegan's Irish Pub in Plainfield, ILFinnegan's is lining up the largest number of Stone taps ever seen outside of California--30 awesome Stone brews in one place!! You can also get our shirts and pint glasses, and even better, Greg himself will sign a Stone DVD and your $2 will go to the St. Baldrick's Foundation to fund childhood cancer research. Enjoy a world of Stone beers in a bar with the most knowledgeable staff in Chicago (and they've got the certificates to prove it), and help save the world at the same time. Greg will be on location from 6 to 8pm, so plan your night right.

I'm hoping by posting this that some Chicago peeps might want to come as well. What I want to know though is, since I can't possibly try all of the above beers, which ones are MUST haves? I've had Arrogant Bastard (thanks to Thumper), Oaked Arrogant Bastard (thanks to a friend of my wife's), and Ruination IPA (thanks to my brother-in-law). I'm really looking forward to this on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thunderbroom Posted April 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 2, 2010 Count me as a maybe! I was hoping that Karl, T. Alan and some of the other area beer drinkers would be up for this. I know that other areas are having Stone events but none have more stuff on tap than this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
