We have that here in San Diego, but I drink locally brewed beers. There's quite a few to choose from. Drinking local beer means it's not transported very far and the money stays in our community. Have you considered finding a good local brew? Is it even possible in Chicago? Seems like it must be. <strong> [ Andy - Valid point -Yes, I do drink local Chicago beers as well. There are several in the area - including Michigan beers. New Belgium has said that they are looking into glass alternatives to bring the weight for transport down. As with everything, there are trade-offs. Do you drink a local beer that might not use such sustainable methods b/c its local, or do you pick a beer like Fat Tire that you love for the taste and its values, but is shipped a longer distance? I fluxuate b/t the two, I guess. Thanks for the comments and keep 'em coming! -Jason ]</strong> Sounds like a good company. We have that here in San Diego, but I drink locally brewed beers.
