Why do I have a sick feeling in my stomach that Shorts are bringing Freedom

For the record I'm declaring twitter hash tags for the event: #halfacrebrewery and #onphoton

Please pass it on

That is a fantastic list of breweries. Major bummer I can't go. For those of you that haven't had any, make sure to try whatever Cigar City they bring. Those guys are excellent brewers and you can't find any of their product for hundreds upon hundreds of mile

Hey guys, I think last night was a fantastic event. I was, however, sadly disappointed that "all you can eat" did not include a single vegetarian dish. I Didn't mind, I love chocolate covered bacon & pork belly dogs, but I brought a coworker who's Indian and doesn't eat any meat. She ended up leaving early & disappointed. My wife & I stayed for the rest of the night and had a great time, but I don't think that 1 vegetarian option, even if it's just fries, is too much to ask.

had a blast last night! but the vegetarians we were with were pretty disappointed with the food - absolutely nothing they could eat...

Thanks very much to the Half Acre owners and staff for another great party. I wasn't sure the Chicago Craft Beer Week closing party could be topped, but you guys proved that it could last night. Special thanks to Michael Carroll for sharing some of the special Pear Gossamer. I'm very much looking forward to the next one.

cheers,

Yeah, that's a bummer there was no veggie options. It wasn't our intention, it just landed that way. If anyone feels cheated by the experience, feel free to contact me directly gabriel@halfacrebeer.com

Thanks a ton for organizing one of the best parties I've ever attended. It was ridiculously awesome & the amount of work you guys put into it to make it run as smoothly as it did was noted and appreciated.

Also, here's some pics & notes I took:

Awesome time.

Great party! I'd like to point out that there were satisfying veg options if you thought outside the box. There were delicious grilled onions intended to go on smoked sausage but which loaded one of the available bowls and dipped into with one of the available rolls was akin to a hearty French onion soup into which you're dipping bread. There was also some great ice cream. Plus, beer is food, guys, beer is food.
