Beer of the Week: Super Baladin

By now, you’ve probably heard all about the pizza, pasta, carne and pesce at Eataly, the 63,000 square feet behemoth in River North. What you probably haven’t heard too much about is their beer. Yes, they have a brewery on site, but they are also importing some very special beer from Italy, including this week’s pick, the Super Baladin, which Michael Roper says is along the lines of a Belgian (as in very food-friendly) but with an Italian accent. If you can make it past the Nutella and gelato bar on your way upstairs, be sure to grab a few bottles (alternatively, pick up some at The Hopleaf). Cheers.
