Two Brothers Tap House
Posted by Jerry on 28 Jun 2009 | Tagged as: Beer Places
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.
New Local Beer Heaven
Posted by Jerry on 27 Jun 2009 | Tagged as: Announcements, Beer Places
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!

Valley Brewing Company

This is the one, the only Valley Brewing Company of Stockton, California, the microbrewery to which I measure all others. I haven’t been here in over ten years, and their Black Cat Stout not only is as excellent as I remember — it’s even better. This place is hereby officially proclaimed groovy!
Behold!

Beer And A Haircut
Posted by Jerry on 15 Mar 2007 | Tagged as: Beer Places
For my lunch break today, I walked over to the “Men’s Grooming Center” next door, and found them a bit pricey — but the barber pointed out “We serve free beer. All you can drink.”
I got me a haircut!
The place is called Roosters, a part of a new chain of shops where they try to bring back a more traditional style of American barbershop — or at least a 21st century version of it. You don’t get “just a haircut” here. You can get just about everything you can at a woman’s salon, except with and extra side of testosterone. Hair coloring, hi-lighting, waxing, facial shaves, and even a “MANicure.”
…why are you looking at me like that? No, I only got a haircut!
(And beer.)
They hand you a tall cold glass of brew, set you down and proceed to give you the royal treatment. Their normal haircut includes neck shave, hair wash, a hot steam towel for your face, a brush of powder around your neck, Bay Rum aftershave, and even a head massage.
If it were guy barber I would have passed on the massage, but considering she was a she (and a quite attractive she at that) I said, yeah. Sure. Okay.
And all this while sipping on a beer. Heck yeah it’s worth the extra price. It only set me back about $10 more than usual, and you know … even a guy needs a little pampering every once in a while.
