overpriced. And secondly, it is chilled, so you run the risk of thermal cycling when the beer comes to room temp. while you are travelling. So buy your beer at room temp, then chill it. FWIW, that Anchor Christmas beer is...

Total Wine is good, and so is Whole Foods. My personal favorite is Big C’s Liquor. It is between Tiajuana Flats and Winn Dixie at Goldenrod and University. My favorite thing about them is they have a ton of good beer...

The selection of microbrewery beers at most grocery stores sucks. Plus few of the stores chill the microbrews, having signed agreements with the major breweries that give the big guys exclusive rights to the coolers. This is not...

deserves a drink that would be to beer what beaujolais is to French wine: friendly, accessible, and best served chilled.

Park (Sprecher’s). Anyone know of any other places in chicago serving up good draft root beers? Preferably the root beer will be served in a chilled glass, no ice. Thanks, Ed

: Stoney’s: chill atmosphere, delicious beers on tap (they had Bear Republic Racer X last time I was there!), solid burger fries okay. Axis Bar & Grill: many good beers on tap, friendly bartenders who will put on whatever...

, my two favorite mexican beers are Negro Modelo and Tecate and I really hate it when they assume I want lime in my beer just because it comes from Mexico. That stuff only works for those people who drink Corona, Sol, Miller...

of Beerlao from the manager instead. =) Beerlao tastes lovely and it’s nicely smooth, but only when the beer is thoroughly chilled (preferably overnight). I’ve had Beerlao that wasn’t cold and unfortunately this...

A few weeks ago in the New York Times, Harold McGee had a column about using vodka in beer batter for fish. I was just wondering if anyone here has tried doing it. He made it sound very good. The story is now available only to...

When I make jello shots, I chill the vodka/tequila/rum and use the alcohol in place of the cold water called for on the box. So it’s basically an even amount of booze and hot water, then pour into your ‘shot...

rolled in, but we never got that far. I didn’t go whole hog with getting the beer - I selected from Bev Mo’s online list, ordered, showed up at my appointed time, picked it up chilled. Easy, but not as exotic as some...
