Firestone Walker Come Get It

It's cold. It's snowing. The wind is blowing. Beer. Well, how about some fire, then? Firestone Walker beers are coming to Chicago. I haven't had the pleasure yet of trying one of their beers, but Chicagoist has a run down of what is going on. Firestone Walker's brew master has some deep Chicago ties, which probably makes this double awesome.

For some reason, perhaps it's the weather or the post-Christmas hangover, but I haven't been able to get out and sample as many new beers as I'd like. My beer and pub wish list is growing long, and I need to get out there and sample some more of what the city is offering. But, maybe I'll just wait until March and then have a nine-month marathon of binge drinking.
