), Three Floyds is one of the best brewers in the US. But it's certainly not for everyone. And for me, it's not a beer I want to drink every day.As far as obsession goes, I don't understand why anyone would be obsessed with any beer, but it still does.

Thanks for the many wonderful suggestions!
Just wanted to express my appreciation for all the wonderful suggestions and recommendations on this thread.
After couple of trips where I had some personal time, I've got to say that love Chicago and its people. Unlike NY, everyone is so friendly! In every sense, it is truly a world class city that I'll visit often whenever I have time.
The architecture, museums (was there for the Van Gogh exhibit), Chicago symphony and steaks were incredible! All world class. Tried several of the steakhouses recommended and my favorite has to be the dry aged Ribeye from David Burke's. Being a lifelong steak enthusiast, I prefer Ribeyes medium rare. I think Chicago makes a better ribeye than New York, if only only because all the steakhouses prepared the ribeye medium rare (without having to be instructed), slight on the medium side to bring out the full flavor of the fat and marbling.
Have an invitation for a Cubs and Bears game and can't wait to return! Also, wanted to visit the Museum of Science and Industry, but was way too crowded! Going to have to visit it during an off season.
