You, sir, have great taste in beer. Include Terrapin's Big Hoppy Monster and Brooklyn Lager and you have most of my favorite brews. Cheers!

GANGSTER BREWERY – In 1919, gangster Johnny Torrio bought the Malt-Maid Brewery at 3901 S. Emerald. The property took up almost the entire block. He changed the name to the Manhattan Brewing Company and hired Lou Greenberg as resident manager. When Greenberg, a pal of Al Capone, Frank Nitti, Dion O'Banion and Hymie Weiss became owner in 1933, he changed the name to the Canadian Ace Brewing Company and the entrance was changed to 3954 S. Union.
A Chicago Beer They do things up brown in the windy city.
On December 8, 1955, Lou Greenberg, former owner of the Canadian Ace Brewery, and his wife Pearl, had dinner at the Glass Dome hickory barbeque pit at 2724 S. Union. When they left the place and walked across the street to their car, two men stepped from the shadows, killed Greenberg with their 38s and calmly walked away. It was reported that ten days earlier, Greenberg had defied a friend of Frank "The Enforcer" Nitti's son in a business matter. Greenberg left an estate of $4 million. One of Nitti's cousins who attended the funeral said, "Now he's the richest son of a bitch in hell."

Me neither. What you can't drink, you can't get drunk off.

Anchor Steam and Yuengling, definitely. Too bad they don't still make Knickerbocker.

This kind of douchey bartender once told me this whole long story about how Coors Light is the only light beer with all the alcohol of regular beer because of some secret brewing process they developed.

It sounded like bullshit, but I've noticed I drink more Coors Light now. And it can definitely get you drunk.

Coors Light is the Repub beer of choice – it's watery, doesn't get you drunk, and the owner is a Nazi in all but name.

So true. Of course the irony is that both Miller AND Bud have been acquired by foreign investors (S Africa and Belgium, resp.) mmmmmmm anchor…. Too bad Delirium Tremens isn't domestic.
