They ushered in a second wave of Chicago craft brewing back when there were next to no options available. It\u2019s safe to say that without Metropolitan, the Chicago craft beer scene wouldn\u2019t have grown the way it did. Now Chicago will have to move on without Metro, who will be closing their doors for good on December 17th. We take this episode as an opportunity to appreciate their excellent lineup one more time, share many meaningful personal memories about the beers and brewery, and to say thank you for stubbornly making lagers even when it wasn\u2019t cool to do so. Thank you, Metropolitan crew, and we wish you a clear and fulfilling path forward.
