There is still today a Chicago Brewing Company, but in only name. It is not the same company which provided the beers I'll be writing about below, beers that are long off the market though I'm fortunate enough to have tried them decades ago and to still have some notes about them.
Chicago's Legacy Lager
Beer score: 7.0
This one was pretty bitter for a lager, with a little sourness as you swallowed. It sort of tasted like a lager and an IPA mixed together. Went down pretty smooth.
Chicago's Big Shoulders Porter
Beer score: 6.4
Wasn't very strong for a porter, but had the right amount of burn maple flavoring. Was a good porter for beginning beer snobs to star with because it wasn't too rich. One of the few porters I've run across which could be drank and not just sipped.
