By the way, Chuck, I think this continues to be a great weekly for people to try or learn about (potentially) new beer. Thanks, Kevin

"anyone think chicago could support another craft brewery?" Watch for Half Acre Brewing Company coming in August.

I guess there's always the fact that this is a really gross beer that's ubiquitous throughout the area. Pretty poor selection for a "Beer of the Week"..

guest, you're an idiot. Yes, Pyramid is owned by Bud but it has been brewing for 20 years. It only signed with Bud for the distribution. Pull your head out.

ugh! whatever... i don't care who owns the majority of the damn beer. when i discovered pyramid, they were just one of the many excellent microbrews of seattle... to me, they still are. budweiser was smart in purchasing them... and it probably helped get the beer to me here in chicago. so thank goodness! and thanks chuck! i'm flattered!

Let's see, two weeks ago we were told that we hate everything owned by a big brewery. This week, we love them all. Can't win for losing, huh?

You're kidding, right? Bud owns a majority stake in Pyramid. They're nothing but a portfolio brewery. You guys really do suck.

The next time your boyfriend talks shit about you drinking this, cut him off. From the beer, that is.

Man, this is actually a good beer which my boyfriend talks shit about me liking. But it tastes sort of tart like an apricot - very authentic.
