Ok Thanks Chuck. I just didn't see a liquor store in your list as you indicated.

Heh...it sounds and looks like something you'd find Hagrid drinking on Diagon Alley :)

Ah lake placid brewery, my first experience with a growler. It wasn't gentle.

Has anyone noticed how INSANE Piece has become on the weekend nights? I know they've always done good business but lately it seems like they're giving away free cocaine and blow jobs...I waited 2 hours for a table on Friday!

Jim Cibek doesn't work for Crown anymore. Steve Mazylewski, formerly of the Onion, is brewing there now.

Add Harrison's in Orland Park (just north of US 45 and US 6) for offering growlers.

LUSH Wine and Spirits (which is where I bought the growler pictured) sells them for anywhere from $25-$30 a refill, depending on the beer. They serve rare selections on draft, which accounts for the price. The growler I purchased for $25.

My first time experiencing a growler was in Steamboat Springs, CO and I thought, "Does everyone know about these things!" I thought I found a great secret in the brewing business. The links you've provided are helpful when trying to connect through to pubs and their prices. However, I do agree with Thunderbelly, it'd be nice if Chicago had more brewpubs.

Which one is the liquor store? I really wish Chicago (the city proper, not Chicagoland) had more brewpubs.
