Beer #19 in the beer advent calendar was a selection from Chicago's OG craft brewery, Goose Island (though it's now, of course, part of InBev). Goose Island makes a lot of great beers, and unfortunately, this one is a hazy IPA, so it wasn't really to my liking. It did seem to have a little spice to it, so I gave it an extra .25 in my rating.
-Name: Lost Palate
-Brewery: Goose Island Beer Company
-Location: Chicago, IL
-ABV: 6.3%
-IBU: 45
-Good for drinking if: You need a palate (pun intended, motherfuckers!) cleanser before switching to winter beers for a Zoom holiday party.
-Rating (out of five stars, by quarter star increments): 3.5
Beer #20 comes courtesy of one of my favorite local breweries, Marz, which is located down in Bridgeport, not too far from Comiskey. Marz does a lot of great things, and as you might expect, I'm a fan of their darker, maltier stuff, like the Mecha Marzilla imperial milk stout, the Maple Vanilla Munchies porter, and the Paczki Stout pastry stout (and the several variants thereof). This one is their Floridaweiss, a not-too-sour sour, made with passion fruit, guava, mango, and pineapple. I generally don't like sours, but this isn't terrible, and at 8%, its tropical flavors belie its sneaky strength.-Name: Floridaweiss
-Brewery: Marz Community Brewing Co.
-Location: Chicago, IL
-ABV: 8.0%
-IBU: N/A
-Good for drinking if: You want to get bombed while pretending tomorrow isn't the first day of winter.
-Rating (out of five stars, by quarter star increments): 3.5
