Old style doesnt make its way down there?
I thought it did lol, that's why I was confused lol
No, it's very scarce around here, I know of one bar that carries it, tap only, no carryout, but if I get any it's by mule.
I'm only half kidding Kit.

Doubt kit is going to hang Out in the hoods of south side chi. But according to some press releases people have died all over this world. Probably in a town near you as well. Damn shame I’m heading to Maryland kit the highlight of your trip would have been to meet me lmao enjoy the trip

Christkindlmarket pretty cool, we went a couple of years ago and just amazed at the unique stuff they had. Go hungry, thirsty and with a lot of money. The longest food lines where worth the wait!

We visited a glass State office building not far from the market I think corner of Lassalle and Randolf that was really interesting and worth a peak in.

I'll echo the Iwan Ries sentiment. If you can't make it there during business hours, there's a place in old town called Up Down that I've been frequenting. Very nice staff, decent selection and prices, next door to a comedy club, and they're open until 11!

Otherwise, how long are you in town for? I can put some recommendations together for you.
