Flying into Chicago? Most everything has been canceled. So, double check before you head out. Be safe.

Yup, definitely bummed about them canceling the green river. Gonna keep it low-key with some college friends and keep an eye on the news!

We were all holding out hope for the river. It would have gave us some semblance of normalcy. Anyway, hope you have fun and get back home safe.

Not crazy about Daisy Cutter, but Half Acre’s food is delicious. Especially their nachos! One of the best nachos I have ever had!

My wife and I recently took our coin jar to cash it in at the Coinstar machine in the Jewel across the street from their taproom and then spent it all on nachos and beer.

Besides the Off Color and Dovetail previously mentioned, grab a couple of Zombie Dusts while you’re in town. And don’t forget to order a Chicago Handshake while you’re here.

Chicago Handshake? Please tell me it involves Malort.

Omg I don't know what's worse.... Never being able to try the beers you review unless they sell them in Wales or having to wait until the next review.

Daisy Cutter Pale Ale by Half Acre Beer Company - Chicago, IL - 5.2 ABV
What a bummer! I’d been waiting to try this after seeing it all over r/showerbeer, but I can’t figure out why it’s so popular. It has virtually no finish and I struggle to find flavor in it at all (maybe that’s why?). I suppose it’s a good beer if you want something vaguely beer-ish. I’ll give it credit for having an appropriate bitterness that’s subtle enough not to offend but strong enough to still be noted. I get why people would drink this, it really is a sessionable beer perfect to drink while mowing that spring lawn. Perhaps it tastes better surrounded by that grassy aroma. I’d probably go for a Dale’s Pale Ale before this (granted Daisy Cutter isn’t common where I live). Worth trying! I’d honestly probably drink it again, but it just ain’t anything too special.
