I think the standard selections are in the 3 out of 5 range of beer reviews. They're fine, especially when I can get them on special for $2/pint.<BR/><BR/>But I think there's some room for an intrepid brewer to do some interesting things with the monthly specials. Our downtown Indy brewer (there's another NW side location) puts out some pretty interesting beers on those specials. He also has quarterly brewers dinners ($35 for four courses and four beers) and has a rotating cask conditioned beer tap that's really great.<BR/><BR/>Do you know if your location does similar things? I know it's a tough sell for Rock Bottom to draw you away from a local Goose Island pub!CorrNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371462855078578516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979966496068052035.post-9838850454855970932008-02-14T17:10:00.000-06:002008-02-14T17:10:00.000-06:00Yeah the amount of reviews has deinitely put a str...Yeah the amount of reviews has deinitely put a strain on my dishwasher! Two more reviews tonight! They will slow down when the whether turns around and I start leaving the house. <BR/><BR/>You like Rock Bottom? There is one at my parents house and I must have been burned by the choices I made because the three or so beers I have had from there were not great by any means. I'll give it another go sometime soon. Maybe I am spoiled because there is a Goose Island restaurant within walking distance of my apartment.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926822130283094820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979966496068052035.post-51813944279497593752008-02-14T16:42:00.000-06:002008-02-14T16:42:00.000-06:00Wow, you sure churn out the reviews -- nice work! ...Wow, you sure churn out the reviews -- nice work! I haven't been here in a couple days and you've got 5 new reviews.<BR/><BR/>I like that you seem so fond of your "Big Ass" Weizen glass (I've got one of those from Rock Bottom) but you didn't actually use it on this wheat beer!
