Would anyone be down for a small meet in November sometime? Maybe around the Chicago area, go to a microbrewery or something for lunch? Just throwing it out there to see if there's any interest. I missed dub-dash and would like to do at least one more meet before the weather turns shitty.

We did a lunch meet at the RAM brewery last February, it was a good little meet. Would be in for one before Thanksgiving rolls around.

Definitely a couple good places up here that we could do a meet...but i dont think people from Chicago would want to travel north of the border. :D

The first weekend in November I'll be gone. But any of the weekends before Thanksgiving I am in for. Do we want to set a weekend so we're not sitting here while everyone says "whatever works for me"?

Goose Island isn't bad, they're pretty popular. But Revolution looks awesome. They look like they have some realllly good beers.

Well someone better find out (give them a call) if John can come. I think it should be fine. I mean last time at the brewery some of the guys (Doug?) weren't 21. Right?

it's a microbrewery restaurant. You don't have to be 21+ to eat there. You'll just have to stare at us while we're enjoying a beer and you're drinking milk is all. :lol: :P But seriously, it's the same as any other restaurant.

I looked at Revolution's website some, and it doesn't look like there's any parking besides street parking. Do you guys still want to go there or find somewhere with a parking lot or something?
