Travels: Chicago - April 2017

Matthew Curtis July 24, 2017

Words & Photo - Matthew Curtis

It's hard to put my finger on a single reason why I loved Chicago so much. Maybe it was the laid back, Midwestern charm intertwined with the breadth and depth of its sprawling metropolitan space. Perhaps it was the incredible diversity of its brewing scene and the inherent quality running throughout it in its entirety. Or maybe it was how easy and familiar both traversing its streets and railways and interacting with its people was. One thing's for certain and that's that I can't wait to go back. But before then I can look forward to telling you all about why its one of the best beer cities in the world.
