Eno, you mentioned you’ll be in Chicago soon. If your beer-drinking schedule isn’t already full, come by my brewpub. I’d love to buy you a couple pints as a thank you for the great show. Atlas Brewing Co., in Lincoln Park. My brother and I are the brewers.

Hey John. You should hit up Eno on Twitter @enosarris. Probably the best way to get ahold of him about this!
