Well, it has been almost three years since I posted anything on here. I have started up a new blog specific to eating Italian Beef sandwiches in the Chicagoland area. Check it out: https://italianbeeftour.blogspot.com/
I plan to have several other theme specific blogs. I will post links to them here as I get them started.

2014-10-21 Flyers vs Blackhawks
Earlier this week, I was lucky enough to be able to head to the United Center to watch the Flyers play the Blackhawks. We had great seats thanks to my buddy Dave. Unfortunately, the Flyers didn't bother showing up, and were down 3-0 pretty quickly. Bad game. Great fun.

Oktoberfest Beers
This is my favorite time of year. College football, NFL, NHL, MLB playoffs, European Soccer, cool weather, my b-day, my anniversary, and my favorite style of beer is on the market.
Here is what I have had the last two years. Let me know if there are others that you have had that I should try and what state the brewer is from.

Wolves v Admirals 2014-02-15
A few weekends ago, we went with our neighbors to see the Chicago Wolves vs Milwaukee Admirals. Before the game, we went to the RAM Brewery and Restaurant. We like that place. The food is pretty good and they have great beers.
The hockey game was pretty close throughout. Unfortunately, Chicago blew a lead late in the game, and then lost in OT.
