Finch is Everywhere

Great news, but Finch beer looks like it is getting major play in the city. Just checking out their Facebook page shows that it is at Hop Leaf, Acre, Finnegan's, Maple Tree Inn (!), Bar on Buena, Bad Apple, Sheffields. Amazing. It is nice to see a local brewery start up and getting accounts quickly in the city. It shows just how much support Chicago has for locally produced beer. It's also an encouraging sign to other breweries that are starting up in the city. When people talk about local economy, this is what they mean. Not only is there the actual production, but also the roots in the community and the secondary economies as well. Hats off to Finch.

Finch Beer Displays New Tappers

I just came across Finch's Beer Facebook page and saw the new tappers. They are bright and easily visible with little finches on them. It looks like Finch is moving along quite well. They brewed water today and some licensing is coming through. Hopefully, they will be selling soon around the city. I'm not sure if they will be selling from the brewery (similar to what Half Acre does), but let's hope so. I take the bus past Montrose and Elston and I could definitely stop and grab something on my way home.
