March 29, 201114 yr Damn, you guys are making me hungry...I'm starting to have dreams of two dogs w/ and a healthy dose of mustard....oh, how I miss the Cell...
March 29, 201114 yr This thread caused me to fire up my tailgate grill last night. Consider me pumped to get to the ballpark.
March 29, 201114 yr QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 08:02 PM) What are the odds of them selling a gluten free beer? Ballgames just haven't been the same since I had to give up regular beer.... Probably pretty low odds...WTF is gluten free beer? That has to taste TERRIBLE. A friend of mine has a gluten issue, I forget what the technical term is and I'm too lazy to look it up really quick, and I feel bad for him...he says he had to give up everything that tasted good in the world. :/
March 29, 201114 yr Whatever the DiGiornos ends up tasting like, it can't be a whole lot worse than the Connies they had before. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 04:28 PM) Polish Grilled Dog Elotes Brisket Add: Churros.

I always thought Home Run Inn made the most sense, being such a south side institution, and since they had already mastered making frozen versions of their pizza taste decent.

Too bad Home Run Inn sucks. I live near a Home Run Inn, I hate it. I love Geno's East and Connies for Chicago pizza...and everything else is weak.

Red Bridge is made by Anhueiser-Busch and it's a sorghum beer. Tastes better than Bud, easy, but not as good as, say, Bell's or microbrew stuff. It's definitely serviceable. If your friend hasn't tried it, you should make him. And the technical term is Celiac disease. And yes, pretty much everything delicious is off the board except nachos. All the stuff you guys are talking about is torture to my poor celiac soul but beer is what hurts the most

When you live outside of Chicago for an extended period of time, especially when you move to an area where Dominos is HQ'ed, pizza like Home Runn Inn start tasting fantastic. I agree, it's not the best out there, but for a frozen pizza that you can but around the midwest it's one of the best choices.

I agree, it's not the best out there, but for a frozen pizza that you can but around the midwest it's one of the best choices. Opinions vary. I can have whatever pizza I want and I love home run inn. Would pick it first everytime. Best fresh, but pretty dam decent frozen. Really looking forward to opening day and getting a dog with some grilled onions. I have to get one no matter how much I eat before the game. Also some corn off the cob. Not looking forward to the $7 bottles and kinda pissed that the giveaway opening day is no longer the magnetic schedule. I have every one going back to 2001.
March 30, 201114 yr I'm pretty excited about the change of Beers of the World. I would be shocked if they didn't have Three Floyd's. I think Bellls is a good call and wouldn't be surprised if Two Brothers got a beer in there as well. Really looking forward to trying the cheesesteak. That has to be delicious and healthy. I'll definitely give the tamales a spin as well. It's discraceful to have D'giorno's, but I never get pizza there anyway.

Add 3 floyds from indiana, 2 brothers from warrenville, and please take off that Great Lakes brew, I dont think thats remotely their best. Bell's Oberon will probably be my go-to from that stand now.

Isn't that their most popular? I've never had Windy City Wheat, how is it?
March 31, 201114 yr And how is there no Green Line? I though that beer was introduced as their 'south side' beer?
March 31, 201114 yr Pretty disappointed by that list, they could have done so much better, but I guess it´s a step in the right direction to improving the beer options at ballgames. Hopefully they are willing to change the beer selection every few seasons so that the local fans can express their desires for certain beers. It would be such a great idea to have a fan selected Chicago beer on tap.

March 31, 201114 yr QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 31, 2011 -> 02:01 PM) I haven´t been to the area that is designated for this, but could they not have draughts available? It was primarily bottles when it was beers of the world. Green Line is one of those beers that is hard to get even if you are a bar. Its limited production. Edit: I love that you said draught instead of draft. Heres some background on the project: http://www.glproject.com/green-line-project-pages-3.php I LOVE that beer, wish they bottled it. Green Line Pale Ale is a honey colored, sessionable, American pale ale with a pronounced, bright, American hop aroma and citrus flavor. Notes of biscuit and lightly toasted malt create the backbone for Green Line's pleasant, crisp bitterness. Green Line Pale Ale is available on draft only in Chicago to help cut down on packaging waste and reduce the impact from refrigerating and transporting beer over long distances. With Green Line Pale Ale, Goose Island will investigate ways to reduce the carbon footprint of its beer through improvements to processes and equipment both in and outside the brewery. About the Green Line Tap Handle The tap handle for Green Line Pale Ale is made of wood reclaimed from ash trees killed by the emerald ash borer in the Chicago suburb of Wilmette, IL.
