If youre chicago-ish that rice water should probably be old style.

i say chicago-ish as i grew up in the city on the south side. now i live far enough into the suburbs that it's fairly safe. a few miles to the east is a little more than questionable

anyway, 15yrs ago or so old style changed their recipe and started charging more money. i didn't really like it and i figured if i'm gonna pay the same amount as budweiser i might as well drink it.

Fair enough. I've only lived in the are for about 7 years. Used to live in Lakeview but bought a house near Burbank a couple years ago, so not super familiar with the intricacies of Chicago. I also tend to go on the bougier end of beers.

i'm out in tinley park now. robbins, south holland, markham etc are just to the north and/or east of me.

don't drink anymore but 3 floyds and laguanitas were some of my favorites. when you're drinking like i was drinking it was cost prohibitive to do that all the time.

not hard to quit when it puts you in a hospital for a week and a doc tell you that if you keep drinking you'll die.
