Tony Magee is one of my favorite brewery owners. It also doesn't sound like he sought out a bunch of incentives to put his brewery in Chicago.

Let the hop shortage begin...
Lil' Sumpin' , WTF, Hop Stoopid.... gonna bring Yakama to its knees...
Plant Hops!

This is nuts....New Belgium, Sierra Nevada and now Lagunitas opening second facilites. 20% market share is looking more and more feasable for craft beer! I love it.

Lil Sumpin Sumpin is a supreme beer. So glad they made it a full time brew. Even better that they are inching closer to the East.

Hopefully this means Brown Shugga for all!

this is great, now that my daughter lives in chicago she can bring me home some beer i can't get here.

They do a great job distributing to Chicago as it is, so I'm very curious to see how this impacts the market here.

I was pretty impressed to read the brewhouse will be 5 times bigger than Goose Island's.
