Piece Brewery & Pizzeria - Chicago, IL

Went to Chicago to go visit some friends and had planned on going to Goose Island Brewery. When we were ready to get going, we hadn't eaten and one person had a great recommendation for a pizza place. He lives up in Chi-town so I'm willing to trust what he says is good. And what is better than a good Chicago pizza? Nothing.

They are a 7 barrel brewhouse so they are very craft and don't bottle anything. This made the decision to go here instead of Goose Island a no brainer. They also had karaoke with a live band starting at 11pm. As much as I wanted to sing Sublime's Santeria, I decided against it. I would have absolutely destroyed

Arrived at the bar and there was about a 40 minute wait at 8 o'clock on a Saturday night. The wait was fine because you can drink at the bar as time passes. The beer was awesome. One of the winner was the 'Camel Toe', which was an awesome 9.5% thicker beer that came in a snifter. Not a chugging beer.

For the pizza, there were two kinds: red (traditional with pizza sauce) and white style (no pizza sauce, olive oil, garlic). I love pizza sauce so I thought I would only like the red. The white is what they were known for so we got a white, pepperoni pizza. Another in our party got the white with clam and bacon, which sounded gross, but was AWESOME! I don't like clams, but this was good. I would recommend it because it is unique and memorable. This bar gets a B+.

Other beers enjoyed:

Golden Arm - A friend called this the quintessential lawn mower beer. Its a german style Kolsch beer that can be best described as smelling like coors light but has a full body and good floral notes.

Top Heavy Hefeweizen - Strong hints of orange and very smooth. Like a blue moon but much stronger orange. If you like oranges, but don't like the taste of 'peels' in the beer, this is the beer for you.

Not tasted:
Worryin Ale - Rye Beer
Wingnut - Imperial/Double IPA
Dysfunctionale - American-style Strong Pale Ale
Fornicator - Bock
Full Frontal Pale Ale - Ameican-style Pale Ale
Dark-n-Curvy Dunkelweizen - German-style Wheat Ale
