Count me in.

BTW, Haymarket is an I-Dine - Restaurant - and they are giving miles for tonight.

Tempting, as that's about two blocks from where we live. Soon-to-be Mrs. zcat18 and I are maybes, depending on where the wind blows us after work...

Beer was good, sorry to have to leave early.

Thanks for posting toomanybooks & also thanks for sharing some tastes of your Belgian beer haul !

Thanks again to toomanybooks and Sweet Willie for setting this up! A great impromptu evening. Perfect weather, outdoor seating, tasty microbrews, and great FT people. Seems like the Craft Beer Fest may have to be an annual get-together!

Thanks to all for coming out. That was a gorgeous spring evening in downtown Chicago. Doesn't get much better around here.

See you next time.

Thanks for pulling this together, toomanybooks! ^ Great seeing old FT friends and meeting new ones.
