Tribune beer writer Josh Noel teased a Thursday dining section feature on Three Floyds with this juicy tidbit:

Nick Floyd is scouting locations to open a Three Floyds brewpub in Chicago. He has been looking at spaces during the last couple of weeks, and though coy about the where ("anywhere but the Loop") and when ("the near future"), he sounded resolute about it happening.

The resident beer geeks at Chicagoist couldn't be more pleased. Brewpubs, as distinguished from the many production breweries popping up around town, give us a place to gather and drink. The more places like that, the merrier. Still, we wonder: are there enough tattooed metal-heads qualified to make and serve beer in our fair city? We sure as hell hope so.
