THE VAS BLOG – INSIGHTS ON THE ART OF DRINKING

 I could have written about tropical drinks earlier this week, the way the weather was.  Chicago, of course, can experience all four seasons on any given day, but this week gave us a chance to test out the durability of our thermometers.  Hopefully you all endured the weather, and are somewhere warm while you read this.

It’s an exciting weekend coming up.  There is, of course, the Super Bowl. This occassion is about much more than the football game itself, which often takes a sidestage to the antics of the commercials and the half-time show.  Whatever your reason for watching the game, it is a great opportunity to get together with folks and have a good time.  We’re here, of course, to help you with that goal.  I realize (painfully) that as Chicagoans we have nothing collectively to celebrate with this game.  With that said, there is no reason Chicago still can’t be represented in your celebration.  We’ve got some exciting new Beers in stock, including two new local beers! 

New to the shelves at Vas Foremost is Ravenswood’s Begyle Brewing with their offering of a Pale American Wheat Ale Crash Landed (22oz. $8.79).  We are also happy to carry  Spiteful Brewing’s GFY Stout (22oz. $9.79) and Burning Bridges Brown Ale (22oz. $9.29). These new brewers are an excellent addition to the burgeoning Chicago brewing scene, and we are pleased as always to represent our local craftsmen!  

I hope that you all enjoy your weekend!  Stay safe, have fun, and enjoy the game….  If you have any questions or comments, you can email me directly at george@vasforemost.com,tweet us: @vasforemost, or give us a call at (773) 278-9420. I look forward to hearing from you!
