Jackie has a Big Grove old fashioned, which she says is very good. I have the Destilh ILL-IPA. I haven’t had one since they closed their local restaurant early in the pandemic.

To celebrate voting (and because the dog is at her Canine Academy) we’re having lunch out. I’ve got a Three Floyd’s Zombie Dust (yummy—I’ve had it before), and Jackie has a Big Grove Old Fashioned.

Jackie and I are each drinking a Rhinegeist Terror Bird imperial IPA, to go along with BBQ for our main meal of the day. Yummy.
Jackie and I both have the Maplewood Crushinator. Pretty good session ale.

The closure of Blind Pig Brewing has left a gap on the shelves of the beer aisle in the grocery store which is being filled with other Illinois brewers. In the Cards is from Pollyanna Brewing Company, based in Lemont, Illinois (up towards Chicago). It’s an okay hazy APA, but lacking in distinctive hop flavors.
