From my visit on 3/4, Beer Bistro no longer carries #9.

Found this on tap tonight -- after reading the review, I knew it pretty much wasn't for me. Tried it anyway. It tasted like peaches, with a really malty kick at the end. Should have known better..

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this information! I packed a 6-pack of #9 in my luggage when I flew back from the East at holiday time.

When did this happen??? I love Magic Hat. And it's available here now? I guess I don't need people to sneak it across state lines for me anymore.

Magic Hat is only available on draft in Chicago, sorry 'burbs. For bottles you will need to get in you car and drive to Michigan or convice someone to ship it to you.

I was also under the impression one had to drive to Michigan to get a fix of Heart of Darkness.

Now if only they'd bring Long Trail here... now that's a Vermont brewery that I truly miss. :/

When did this beer start being available in Chi-Town? Where can I get it in bottles? (west burbs preferred)
