Chicago \u2013 Windy City: You should see this! \u2013 Half Acre (The Beer Company)<\/h2>\n

There's beer! Chicago is supposedly the capital of craft beer. It's worth checking out, so right after breakfast at the hotel, we head to the Half Acre Brewery. It takes about 40 minutes by train. We arrive slightly late and end up at the very back of the queue. But we're lucky and manage to play the German card, and despite the full group, we still get in. So, just to be on the safe side, you should check the Brewery website<\/a> Register for a tour!<\/p>\n

At the start, a glass and three bottle caps are handed out. These can be exchanged for full glasses. Before the actual tour begins, beer is served. I start with the Daisy Cutter Pale Ale. Then it gets going, and there's a rather lengthy explanation of the brewery and beer brewing. With every sip of beer, it becomes harder for me to listen.<\/p>\n
