Beer Issue

Beers to you

Fall means it’s time for football, chili and Oktoberfests—three things that go perfectly with beer. But what doesn’t pair well with a cold brew? Other than driving and babies, not a damn thing. That’s why this ode to beer will appeal to all suds-lovers.

By TOC staff

	New to brew?: If you think Pilsner is an arty Mexican neighborhood on the South Side, we’re here to help. Bone up on beer basics with this primer.
	Drinking buddies: Beer usually kicks it solo, but these brew cocktails prove it plays surprisingly well with others.
	Barley legal: Our undercover suds sleuths had one week to track down their favorite out-of-state brews without leaving Illinois—by any means necessary. Who got the goods?
	Suds swap: We turn beer guzzlers on to better brews.
	Get ’em while they’re hops: It’s like Christmas in September when the fleeting Oktoberfest brews reappear.
	Bock to school: The heavy drinking that distracted you in college could send you to the top of the classat this local beer academy.
	Brau house: Start homebrewing hooch with these DIY tips.
	Brewmasters of the universe: Three local craft beer brewers talk about the job you wish you had.
	So near beer, yet so far: Four TOC staffers try to find a quality non-alcoholic beer.
	Closing time: Prove your parents wrong, and make all that time you spent in bars worth something by winning prizes in our quiz about Chicago's boozy history.
