I am eating Ambassador pizza and drinking Bell's.

i'm so bored that i'm reading threads on ILX! perfect timing on the thread revival, dan.
i found out today that the r41nb0w bar in 1shp3m1ng sells SPARKS thanks to their 'hey snowmobilers, drink sparks!' banner. pretty fucked.
j4sper ridge has a pretty great brown ale on tap right now, btw. worth stopping for if you have to make a drive down this way.

Can I drink Bell's in Chicago or will I have to go a full twelve months sans Bells?
Though actually I miss Ambo pizza more. I can get good beer here but not good pizza. Stupid NW.

larry's cheating the system and brewing a bunch of bell's beers with the name "kalamazoo beer" for the chicago market. sounds like he'll have an amber, a porter, and an IPA available. bil probably knows a little more about what's up, but here is where i've read it.

other fun beer news: according to a map on the KBC website, they're starting midwest distribution. still not a fan of the blonde and the amber style rarely does much for me, though i picked up a six of the brown and i think it canned quite well. well enough that i'm bringing four more six packs downstate to give as gifts.
i understand bell's allegiance for the sake of sentimentality, though i still find it hard to be sad if i can't find there stuff when there are so many other good (if not better) beers available. that said, i'm still pulling for three floyd's to start michigan distribution, and it seems like the chicago beer folks treat them as an afterthought. additionally, i often forget how good two hearted is on tap.

I'm actually looking forward to finding some Three Floyd's and New Holland beers around Chicago based on your and dan's repeated mentions. The ultra beer nerds at the giant store in Portland assured me that they don't distribute out west at all.
I kind of separate KBC beer from the KBC in general - to me it was all about going out, seeing everyone you know, hanging out, drinking two dollar pints, NOT smelling like smoke, etc. I liked partiular beers but I don't really feel the need to separate them from the place itself.

My dad always claimed that Big Louie was a distant relative. We should make Big Louie t-shirts.

My burning desire to someday buy a huge storefront building in Calumet or Laurium isn't going away any time soon.
Did I tell you about the block of old-school rowhouses near Harter's party store that was for sale for like fifty grand? Not each, total for all four. Like something that would be in Brooklyn for EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS.

Yoopers: please provide me with arguments I can set forth to my parents in favor of retiring to the UP instead of North Dakota. Thank you in advance.

At least every other summer I suffer driving across the horrible nothing of ND just to get to the UP if that says anything.
I really have nothing good to say about ND at all, though I am well aware that many people probably would feel that way about the UP.

Also this thread seems to really be "Jeff and Dan post on ilx instead of using IM"

I really can't imagine what the shit they would do in North Dakota. My dad is a bigtime hunter/fisherperson, but my mom likes restaurants and the pleasures of (small town) civilization. I think she would flip out Jack Torrence style after about three months.
