Beerbin.com

I love this new site (http://www.beerbin.com/) that shows where you can:

a) enter the name of the bar of your choice (in Chicago) and get a listing of beers served there
or
b) enter the name of the beer of your choice and get a listing of bars (in Chicago) that serve it


When the new flagship Whole Foods in Lincoln Park opened with a beer bar in place, a friend was lucky enough to happen upon Three Floyd's Banana Split Weizenbock.  By the time Dan and I got there to try it, they were all sold out and had no idea if they were getting more.  Enter Beerbin.com. 


It didn't actually help me find this particular beer, but I had fun trying.  When I entered "Banana" into the search field for beers, Wells Banana Bread Beer autopopulated.  This provided a few minutes of entertainment as I typed in random words to find what unusual beers might appear.  FYI...Wells Banana Bread Beer is found at Kroll's in the South Loop.  I definitely think I will be relying heavily on Beerbin.com in the future, probably more for making bar choices than anything else.
