Mid-Western Beer Review – Domain DuPage from Two Brothers

I brought back a few bottles from my recent trip to Chicago and now is the time to review them!  First up is a French Country Ale from Two Brothers, Domaine Du Page…

IMG_6602The Domaine pours an orange/brown color. Nutty aroma at first then perceptibly changes into something like a fruit but granola bar. There is a bit of alcohol heat in here too. This is classic Dubbel realm and quite good.  When I was in Chicago, I also tasted their pale ale, Sidekick.  It was quite enjoyable sitting in the sun, staring at the Cloud Gate sculpture, AKA the Bean, and having a hoppy good time.

Chicago in Two Days and many beers – Part 1

Tomorrow, I will talk more about my recent beer filled trip to Chicago.  But to whet the whistle, as it were, here are some selected photos from the weekend….

First stop pizza at Wrigleyville joint with a list (minus the macros) that I wish I could have returned to…

Oh and the former Marshall Field’s (now Macy’s) sold beer and had a bar!

If that wasn’t enough, the local grocery chain had 5 Rabbits at great six-pack prices…
