Remember Nicholas Day’s beer float piece from a while back? (Yes, I also need help.) Yesterday I tried a beer that I believe would make a fine beer-float candidate, provided you stick to vanilla ice cream like a not-insane person. I stopped by the Local Option at 1102 W. Webster and, finding their Surly tap dry (the bartender was in the process of switching the keg from Cynic to Furious), opted for Southern Tier‘s creme brulee imperial milk stout. Yikes!
I’ve seen Southern Tier’s beers at every Binny’s I’ve been in, at Lakeview Liquors at Addison and Leavitt, and at two places in Andersonville–In Fine Spirits and whatever that store at the northeast corner of Foster and Clark is called. And of course they’ve got this stout at the Local Option, at least while the keg lasts. Happy hunting!
