World’s First “Craft Beer Hotel” Coming Soon

The idea for the world’s first craft beer hotel has been hatched.

BrewDog, the Scottish magic makers who recently settled stateside, want to add on to their facility in Columbus, Ohio — with a 50-room hotel and sour beer production facility.

Among the amenities being offered at The Doghouse?  Beer fridges in each room — (including the shower!) — spa treatments that include “malted barley massages” and “hop oil pedicures,” IPA taps in rooms, and windows that look directly on to the brewery.

To the project jumpstarted, BrewDog launched a crowdsourcing effort that has already raised over $100,000.  They hope to complete the project in 2018.

Frankly, it’s beer — so it’s worth every penny.

Oh, and if you missed our little celebration of beer this weekend — Windy City Brewhaha — check out my Saturday night below.  [eric]

VIDEO: Deadpool 2 Trailer Hits The Internet

Perfectly timed with the $85 million dollar opening weekend for Logan, Ryan Reynolds had his own success in releasing a teaser trailer for Deadpool 2 — over 13 million hits in the last 24 hours.  And naturally, a little fun is poked at Hugh Jackman’s iconic character – plus a new twist on an old cameo.  Here it is (NSFW, language, violence, situations…DUH):

Sadly, you have about a year to wait for the whole enchilada.  The sequel hits theaters March 2018.  — [eric]

(from mashable.com)

As we start to 3D-print everything — including houses, of all things — it’s pretty impressive that a company built one in just 24 hours.

Located in Russia, this 400-square-foot home (37 square meters) was built in just a day, at a cost of just over $10,000.

3D-printing company Apis Cor built the house using a mobile printer on-site. (MORE HERE)

Gooeyest, Cheesiest, Best Mac & Cheese Dishes In Chicago

(from chicagoist.com)

AMK

The award-winning, skillet-baked mac and cheese at AMK is worth every calorie. Cloaked in a melty, jalapeno and bacon-stippled mix of havarti, fontina, provolone, Asiago and Gouda, it’s topped with more cheese and showered with breadcrumbs. “Perfection” is the first word that comes to mind.

AMK is at 1954 W. Armitage Ave.

Mindy’s Hot Chocolate

Featuring a lush mix of Gruyère, American and cheddar cheeses, Hot Chocolate serves an impressive rendition that’s so saucy you’d benefit from a spoon. Use yours to break open the crackly, browned top and scoop up the molten goodness within. Then, and ask for some bread to sop up the remains.

Mindy’s Hot Chocolate is at 1747 N. Damen Ave.

Are These Strawberries Red?

A new photo is going around that shows a bowl of strawberries and it asks a simple question:  Are they red?

The correct answer is no.  All reds have allegedly been stripped out of the picture, so it’s all different grays.  But we THINK they’re red and we see red, because they’re strawberries.  I’m confused. READ MORE

Big Star’s bacon-wrapped Sonoran hot dog is coming back

(from timeout.com)

Anyone who has been hanging out on the Big Star patio for a few years may remember the Sonoran hot dog, which quickly became a favorite on the menu but was removed for a few years. Now, it’s back, but just for a day.

In case you’ve forgotten, the Sonoran hot dog is a Vienna Beef dog wrapped in bacon and topped with pinto beans, lime mayo, mustard, serrano sauce, tomato and onions on a bolillo roll. It’s big, positively covered in sauce and an absolute must-get for just $7 (but be prepared to wait for this one). You can only get it next Tuesday, March 7 from 11:30am–dinner service, as long as supplies last. (MORE HERE)
