@broark so I asked about some good Chi spots. For brewery there's obviously the Goose Island Taproom. Right over the border in IN he said 18th Street Brewery has good beer and great food. Non brewery he said check out Maria's or Fischmanns Hope that helps!
Edit: Also it would be interesting to check out Gibsons which is always on the show The League. Always wondered if they actually film there.

Had a couple good ones on Sunday
Clown Shoes Chocolate Sombrero-similar to Prairie Bomb but easier to get and way cheaper. Not on same level but it's good
Night Shift Awake - Very coffee forward, great porter
Tree House Bright - so fresh, so good

This was good. Better than I expected, in fact.

I'll certainly say that it doesn't drink like a 10%. It packs a punch, but it's easy drinkin.
The watermelon flavor comes through in spite of the massive double IPA grain/hop bill. I'm getting watermelon on the nose straightaway, and definite watermelon flavor that lingers. I can't find any official information on whether they used watermelon puree, rinds, or flavoring, so I don't want to say it tastes like a fresh watermelon, but I'm getting enjoyable fruity flavor that is refreshing even after my second beer.
All signs point to a feckin solid brew, with a unique flavor that is a welcome change of pace to my normal IPA lineup. I will say however, that I wouldn't want a third beer. It's a gorgeous beer, but definitely not a session beer.
