As a relocated, midwestern Californian, I am desperatly wishing that Illinois was just a little bit closer to our little hunk of land in East Iowa! We still have to drive to East Dubuque, ILL to find any serious beer! We have resorted to brewing our own IPA and Amber Ale - unfortunately not as good as Stone - yet. We are still looking forward to your assault on Iowa someday, in the meantime, we are planning a trip to Chicago someday just to go buy some serious Stone ales. Thanks for the great work and your takeover of the midwest...
