Drinking Through the Bears vs. Green Bay

It's a showdown of epic proportions: Bears vs. Packers. Chicago vs. Green Bay. Two legendary football teams meeting head to head in a battle to determine NFC football bragging rights. Of course, there's only one question on everyone's minds? What beer to drink during the game?

I'm from Chicago, so let's look at what and where the great citizens of Chicago should be drinking during the game. First, if you're going to be hanging out at home or a friend's house, I suggest picking up some Goose Island, Half Acre or Metropolitan. Support your local team by drinking a local beer.

If you're going out but care about the quality of your beer as much as you do about the quality of the win (Bears 24 to Green Bay 14), then there are other bars in the city besides the standard macro-swill sports bar fare.

Try heading over to Piece Pizza, which is showing the game. They brew some amazing beers and have decent pizza. The Bad Apple in Northcenter has several TVs and lots of great beer on tap. The TVs aren't overly large, but the quality of the beer makes up for it.

Remember, there's nothing wrong about drinking good beer and watching the game.
