Beer Baron: A Great Taste like no other, but also like any other


Beer Baron: A Great Taste like no other, but also like any other


here was half as much beer at the Great Taste of the Midwest this year, and it didn’t matter one bit.

With the Aug. 14 festival’s brewery field cut by 50% to reduce crowding in Olin Park, I was concerned some of the most popular breweries every year might be noticeably absent. That did not come to pass.

The Great Taste program dropped five days ahead of the event, and all of the annual heavy hitters were on it: Central Waters, 3 Floyds, Goose Island, Perennial, Half Acre, Toppling Goliath, Bell’s, Revolution, Forager, Solemn Oath … the gang was almost entirely together...

...Here were some of my favorite pours from the 2021 Great Taste:

Revolution VSOJ
2nd Shift Grace
Lake Monster Como Claw Pilsner
Hubbard’s Cave Rum Barrel Coco Van
Vintage Supa Cuppa
Lupulin BA Snozzberry Lateralus
Kuhnhenn DRIPA
Working Draft A Pils Is a Pils Is a Pils Is a Pils
Wisconsin Brewing Elements Aged Doppelboc
Bell’s 2015 Third Coast Old Ale
Revolution Supermassive Cafe Deth
Blind Tiger Tmave’ Pivo
Forager Kitten Treats
