UPDATE:  This review is from nearly two years ago, but I revisited this beer tonight, and I still stand behind the following statements 100%.

This limited release beer is as totally over the top as you’d expect from Lagunitas Brewing Company.

Imagine going to Starbucks and ordering a beer.

This would be it. Cappuccino Stout.

I drank two of these without writing a single word. I didn’t want to be bothered. The brew demanded all my attention.

This beer is for someone who drinks black strong coffee straight up. No cream. No sugar.

This beer is for someone who has turned so jaded that everything tastes the same and has blended into a grey muck, and life has turned dim, and all pretty women look like hard plastic. It’s for someone who can’t stand to turn on a radio because the entire spectrum makes you gag. You want to smash cell phones, you want to wreck your car on purpose, you want to set fire to a bank.

This beer is for you.

It will realign your Universe, reset your brain, and help you regain your love of humanity. This beer will pull you back from the brink. This beer will help you breathe.

This beer will help you create.

This beer will give you the urge to put on big heavy boots and stomp around in the mud, laughing hysterically, and roll around on the floor with a puppy.

This beer just might save your life.

I hereby proclaim it a Groovy Brew and rate it 8.1 on the Holy Grail Scale. Get it while you can, it’s seasonal, and it’s disappearing fast.

You can tell by the ultimate minimalist signage that this place has to be special.

Every beer here is off the hook wonderful.

Two Brothers Tap House is at the Two Brothers Brewing Co. Warrenville, Illinois.

Those of you who follow this site probably noticed I haven’t been around much lately.  It’s because I just moved twice.  Yes, twice.

I’m now settling into a little cottage west of Chicago, in the Wheaton area, and am literally still pulling things out of boxes.

I did take some time out to go exploring in my new stomping grounds today, and lo and behold I discover Binny’s in Glen Ellyn.

Look at all this beer!
