Alarmist Brewing, 4.8 percent: A simple, dry and endlessly drinkable Belgian-inspired beer, whether with food or on its own. (Phobophobia, by the way, is not just a cool beer name — it’s the fear of phobia.) Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
The bad news is that Illinois’ Craft Beer Week, scheduled for May 15-22, has been postponed indefinitely.
The good news, for craft brewers and craft-beer devotees, is that the Illinois Liquor Control Commission has agreed to allow craft breweries to conduct residential deliveries, effective immediately. (This arrangement is temporary and requires local municipal approval.)
The Illinois Craft Brewers Guild has set up a spreadsheet of breweries offering pickup, carryout and delivery services, along with fundraisers and virtual tip jars. More than 85 craft breweries are listed already here.
