I'm going to be making a short visit to Chicago in the coming weeks on my way back from South Bend. I've done some research on pubcrawler and I have a list of bars I want to visit but I'm also looking for a good retail outlet or two with a good selection of local beer. We're staying in the Loop without a car so stores in the vicinity would be best.
thanks, mike
Closest you'll find are Sam's and Binny's. There's a Binny's on Grand and about Orleans, just north of the Loop. Sam's is up off of Clybourn and a couple blocks north of North, just across the street from the Goose Island Lincoln Park pub. Both will be an easy cab ride from the Loop. You could take the El (Red Line to North and Clybourn for Sam's, Brown Line to Merchandise Mart or Chicago for Sam's), but you'll have a little bit of a walk in both cases.

Ive always hears a great deal about a place called Armanetti's (sp?), but I dont know its location in Chicagoland. Close enough to be a Philadelphian!
True, but the one that's worth going to for a beergeek is in Mundelein.
