The Craft Brewers Conference is in full swing here in Chicago, so I thought I would write a little something about beer. Piece Brewery & Pizzeria not only makes really good pizza, but they make damn good beer. The recently released Marketing Ploy is a collaboration between Three Floyds Brewery of Munster, IN and Piece. Three Floyds has really made a name for themselves in recent years and their Alpha King and Pride & Joy are two favorites of mine. Marketing Ploy isn't too hoppy and isn't very bitter. It has great balance and the citrus aroma is very pleasant making it very drinkable. It may just be a marketing ploy, but two great breweries have joined forces to make a really, really good beer.
I love it when musicians collaborate to create something unique. But when two breweries get together, the sky is the limit. Chicago upstart Half Acre and the pride and joy of Munster, IN Three Floyd's have collaborated to brew a Helles Bock called "Invasion". No word on when the beer will be released, but it's currently fermenting. I can't wait to get my hands on this!
I had a great weekend, but it sucks that it's Monday. On Saturday, I made my first trip to Three Floyds Brewing Company in lovely Munster, IN. I tried a beer called Ham on Rye and yes, it tasted like a ham sandwich. I will add that I did enjoy the beer. I also had an incredible meal at Belly Shack on Sunday! We tried the Belly Dog, Roasted Squash, Boricua & the Korean BBQ Kogi. It sounds like a lot of food, but we didn't leave stuffed.Here is some news to kick start your Monday.
If you haven't heard Rose Hill Drive you should definitely check them out. Guitarist Daniel Sproul can absolutely shred on the guitar. Check out this video below of Rose Hill Drive covering Band of Gypsy's "Machine Gun".
