I will try to find out if Radio Maria and Crane are open for Christmas (I'm pretty sure Crane is, not sure of Radio).
If you are looking to try a bunch of Holiday beers, go to Blind Pig and get 3 samplers, there were 11 Holiday's on tap last night, including Ridgeway Lump of Coal, which is a good stout. Blind Pig Brewery claims 3 house beers on tap, I missed the Grissette :( Skot said it was pretty good, although I probably wouldn't like the spices.
My week schedule is looking like this:
Friday: Happy Hour at Radio, then off to Ty and Lindz
Saturday: BBCAmerica at 4:30 until I overdose on Doctor Who (The Next Doctor, Planet of the Dead, Waters of Mars)
Sunday: Baby shower for Frank and Dana; gathering at Suzie's
Monday: dinner with Evan at Monicals, attempt to drink all the beer at Blind Pig (probably)
Tuesday: open
Wednesday: purchase steaks
Thursday: get annoyed
Friday: grill steaks, go to Seven Saints to keep Andy company
New Years Eve is still supposed to be drinking at Steve and Ann's; although that may have changed, but I'm not sure. If it's moved to Kridz, then you, reading this, are invited.

That's about it:
I will try to find out if Radio Maria and Crane are open for Christmas (I'm pretty sure Crane is, not sure of Radio).
If you are looking to try a bunch of Holiday beers, go to Blind Pig and get 3 samplers, there were 11 Holiday's on tap last night, including Ridgeway Lump of Coal, which is a good stout. Blind Pig Brewery claims 3 house beers on tap, I missed the Grissette :( Skot said it was pretty good, although I probably wouldn't like the spices.
My week schedule is looking like this:
Friday: Happy Hour at Radio, then off to Ty and Lindz
Saturday: BBCAmerica at 4:30 until I overdose on Doctor Who (The Next Doctor, Planet of the Dead, Waters of Mars)
Sunday: Baby shower for Frank and Dana; gathering at Suzie's
Monday: dinner with Evan at Monicals, attempt to drink all the beer at Blind Pig (probably)
Tuesday: open
Wednesday: purchase steaks
Thursday: get annoyed
Friday: grill steaks, go to Seven Saints to keep Andy company
New Years Eve is still supposed to be drinking at Steve and Ann's; although that may have changed, but I'm not sure. If it's moved to Kridz, then you, reading this, are invited.

CU Beer Weekend Dec. 11
This week is going to be a pretty good one for beer. Champaign Urbana, prepare to get your drink on. If you follow my twitter feed (or facebook) you already know that Founders Backwoods Bastard has arrived in town (along with Founders Imperial Stout). Yesterday I went to Sunsinger and picked up a four pack, I believe it cost $12.99. I didn't see the imperial stout. The BB was in the cooler, and not on the shelf. Also, Capital Eisphyre is available there, and is on the shelf. All those beers should be stocked at Friar Tucks and Picadilly by the time you read this. Backwoods Bastard won't last long at the stores.
Hopefully, by next Friday, I'll have a list of the December 25 openings.
7 Saints
The two rotating taps are currently:
Southern Tier Oat
Southern Tier Old Man Winter (it's actually the one with the Bells Winter handle)
7S has (I believe) a case of both Backwoods Bastard and Imperial Stout. It hasn't been priced yet (as of Thursday night) but it should be for this weekend.
Wednesday: Whiskey Wednesday, this week, Bourbon + Rye
Thursday: Beer Class, 9:30 $10; holiday/ winter beers.
Radio Maria
Jacob is out of town driving through the United States, so the beer list hasn't been updated online since 11/29. Also there isn't an email about the specials, so I don't know what tonight's happy hour special is. We'll assume the rest of the weekly schedule stays the same.
Friday: Happy Hour 4:30 - 5:30. DJ at 10, $3 Smirnoff drinks
Saturday: $3 Bacardi and $6 Bacardi Mojitos, Salsa Night at 10.
Sunday: $2 wells, $1.25 beer (no PBR this week)

CU Beer Weekend Dec. 4
Winter seems close, today is cold. The 10 day outlook on Weather.com doesn't have highs above 39, with some lows in the teens. So, it's going to be cold. That calls for beer. It calls for a winter warmer, or something thick, and with a relatively high ABV so that at least you feel warm.

It's the week of Thanksgiving. I hope you have your beer planned for Thursday.

Two Brothers Domaine DuPage, is probably the localest version of a Biere de Garde that you'll find (it's also quite good).

Champaign Urbana Beer Club
November Meeting.
Wednesday 6:30 Crane Alley
There is no cover, no fees, no dues. Just show up with a beer that goes with the theme.
The November theme is 10%+ ABV. So you may want to have a cab on standby or a designated driver handy. Also, you might want to think about taking Thursday off.
Here's how my schedule is currently shaping up.
Friday: Radio Maria happy hour around 5. Probably go get something to eat somewhere after
Saturday: Seems to be free right now
Sunday: Hooters for football, The Prisoner remake on AMC on Sunday night.
Monday: Currently open
Tuesday: 3 p.m. Blind Pig Brewery beer release party. I'm probably going to the Illini vs Northern Ill game with Phil (from highschool)
Wednesday: CU Beer Club November meeting, Crane Alley 6:30 theme is 10%+ ABV
Thursday: Blind Pig 5th Anniversary Party, with Rogue Brewery Rep from 7-9. Beer Class at 7 Saints at 9:30, hopefully we'll get to do IPA's.
7 Saints
Rotating taps at Saints are still:
Bells Rye Stout
Southern Tier Back Burner Barleywine
Sunday: NORTH SHORE COCKTAIL EVENT 6-8 pm.
Wednesday: Whiskey Wednesday, Half off Whiskey Category, this Wed, Bourbon + Rye.
Not exactly sure how open to the public this is, but if you read it here, call the bar and ask for Andy. I'm sure he'll let you in. 217-351-7775
Radio Maria
Radio has a new dinner menu. They also have a new bottle menu, it's been trimmed down to get rid of some of the less sellers, and to make room for some other beers. Highlights include Goose Island Matilda; Rodenbach Grand Cru; Allagash Curieux; Orval; Westmalle. There's also several Mikkeller's that are now on the menu, so that's nice.
