Episode 505 - Lager Heads: Welcome to Chi-Taste-O

Chicagoland is pretty gifted in lager-centric breweries, but now that trends have shifted back towards the more drinkable, almost every brewery is featuring more and more lagers. This is an extremely good thing. For this show, we do a blind tasting wherein we match a local lager-focused brewery's beer against a local "everything" brewery's beer along style lines and give our unbiased opinions. Our arbitrary reviews won't prove much, but we do have an opinion on which brewery we think is making the best lagers in Chicagoland. Also, we force the title colon thanks to A.I. which introduces us to Chi-Taste-O. (We recommend you get a 6-pack of lagers ready and responsibly drink every time we say, "Chi-Taste-O.") Plus we're making bread references, attacking the Veggie Stick stash, and valuing rusticity. So sayeth the Mayor and Seer of Chi-Taste-O.  Beers Reviewed and Battled Blindly    Alarmist Brewing - Crispy Boy (Pilsner) Vs. Dovetail Brewery - Pilsner   Half Acre Beer Company - Helles Vs.
