Not to turn it into Mr. Illini's random thoughts thread, but since beer was a prominent topic in this thread, I had the best wheat beer that I've ever had the other day. Ebel's Weiss Beer, brewed by Two Brothers in Warrenville, IL.
Not sure where it is available, possibly just here in IL, but wondering if anyone has had it (or other thoughts on good wheat beers or just beers in general).
312 is treated as the crown jewel of the wheat beers, at least among Illinoisans, and so that this beer beat out the Urban Pale is quite a statement.
An excellent choice. I've had pretty much all the Two Brothers offerings including their special label Magnetic Moment in honor of arrival of the muon g-2 ring in 2013. The Two Brothers tap house (not to be confused with the Roundhouse) is not far from me. You should check it out some time.
I really should. It was the first selection of theirs that I have had, but it was excellent.
I believe that their other brews are sold at locations throughout the suburbs as well, so I can try some more of what they offer in the mean time.
The suburbs have a number of microbrews really popping in size in recent years. The city mastered that awhile ago but it is cool to see Two Brothers as well as Small Town Brewery up in Wauconda gaining steam.
