Once again, I have a question on Reddit wondering why I include Indiana locations, and call this the “Chicago Area.”
First off, in my experience, a lot of people don’t care for the term “Chicagoland,” so I bring in variations like “Chicago Area.”
Second, when I started this little hobby some 15 years ago, there were much fewer brewers and beer bars around than there are now. So I spread my net to all the towns contiguous to Chicago, from the Wisconsin border south, and to the contiguous towns in Indiana. We could not, after all, neglect Three Floyds. I added Rockford to my coverage because there was already a small brewing scene there, and had to bring in the Kankakee area as Brickstone became popular.
