Review: Paramount Room
- Since Gabriel Magliaro launched Half Acre Beer last fall he's been working around the city tirelessly promoting it. The Heartland Café is the newest and northern-most account for Half Acre. In honor of the achievement, on April 26th Magliaro will walk a case of Half Acre from
MontroseMonroe Harbor to the Heartland at 7000 N. Glenwood, a distance of nearly nine miles. The "Half Acre Hike" is a sponsored event benefiting First Slice Chicago, a non-profit dedicated to feeding hungry children. Let's hope Magliaro really ices that beer down. - The New York times had a wonderful article in yesterday's about how farmers are pulling land they previously set aside for guaranteed payments from the Federal government's conservation program in favor of the more substantial payoff they could make growing crops at a time of record high grain prices. It's an interesting read about a once-useful program that has become antiquated, with pro-farming and pro-conservation groups fighting over an rapidly shrinking amount of land. It could also be seen as an indictment on our recent focus on growing corn for ethanol, which is spurring price increases across the board.
- Rosscoe's blinked and agreed to change its name. That was fast. Now if they can just improve the service and food.
- Via TOC, Red Bull is launching a new, highly caffeinated cola. Let's hope it doesn't taste like the flagship product.

A) Sugar-free Red Bull got me through college.
B) Half Acre is terrible.
Terrible? Wrong.
Chuck, you gotta check your facts....
First Slice is a group that feeds hungry and homeless men, women AND children. They also provide meals to low-income families.
And Half-Acre is walking from MONROE Harbor, not Montrose which would be close to maybe 3 miles. Where do you live, man?
Never north of the Addison, huh?
And just for the record, 1st Slice's Beef Barbacoa is perhaps the best sandwich in town.
bryan: uh? monroe harbor would be even farther from 7000 n. glenwood than montrose harbor. montrose = over 4 miles, monroe = over 10 miles. thanks, goog maps!
Right, Shannon, that was my point. 1/2 Acre is walking from Monroe to The Heartland which is some distance. Chuck stated it as Montrose. Montrose is not the correct harbor.
Yeah, I drink Red Bull too and I am a little bit sad to admit it, but like Spav it's gotten me through some pinches.
bryan: ah, okay. you made it sound like monroe was the one that's 3 miles away.
Red Bull looks like urine. 180ยบ is a quality energy drink, tastes just like Crush.
tne next "properly sauced" column should be about making the perfect red bull and vodka...yuck
Dyslexia's a mother. I corrected it.
Fat Tire is way worse than Half Acre.
The beer taste around here seems questionable.
vermin, those are fighting words if i ever heard any.
Vermin's right, although if some of you spent more time poring through our archives, you'd have known that.
Chuck just reread you fat tire review very wishywashy. I like fat tire, but lets get to some of those whiskey reviews give us the scoop on the whiskey
Wow chuck that was fast you the man!
