I was poking around on Google Street View today, and I realized you can actually zoom out fairly far and still get the blue layer that shows you their coverage. They've got a massive amount of coverage in the Chicago area, sprawling all the way out to Milwaukee, Madison, Rockford, and even Dubuque. The pattern around Indianapolis is quite different: a central mass with little feelers spreading out radially. So what's neat is that those feelers have already hit Danville, and good old Champaign-Urbana surely will be in the next iteration of growth!

On an unrelated note, the Orange Blossom Cream Ale from Buffalo Bill's Brewery is excellent.

What can I say; you can really taste the goat.

I first had Blue Goat about a year or so ago at Crane Alley, and I've been looking for it (very passively) ever since. It is good stuff. It's slightly fruity in the nose, not too complex, but not subtle either. It's a doppelbock, which I have recently learned means "double bock". So I guess more bock is better.  read more »
