It's not quite an on-campus brewery and the inevitable Les Miles 60ish Minute IPA that would accompany that brilliant idea, but this has to be the next best thing.
Two Buckeyes in Chicago have started a craft brewing operation, Oval Brewing Co. featuring insta-classics like Woody Haze Dunkelweizen, Stiffarm Imperial IPA and 2010 Club Tril ESB (Extra Special Buckeye) Ale.
Unfortunately, the beer isn't for sale (yet), but you might be able to sample it with a strategically sent email ahead of your next visit to Chicago. In the meantime, you'll have to make do throwing down some of your favorite suds not named for The Shark.

I'll drink to that.
So, I'd just like to say 2 quick things to Buckeye fans. First, if you haven't seen it, some dumb gal over on bleacher report slams your backup Mark Titus. Never heard of the guy, but I'm going to check out his blog tomorrow -- no time today -- whether we win or .. okay, no, I'll probably not watch any basketball this weekend if we lose. But the guy seems like a Class A act, from what all people have said about them. I had heard of Club Trillion, didn't know he was the guy in charge of it, and had never checked it out.
Secondly, Tennessee hasn't pressed much -- if at all -- since the January 1st arrests. This team turns opponents over by length in the half-court, and JP and Bobby are especially adept at getting turnovers. Don't expect a lot of pressing by the Vols, unless Pearl has really seen something he thinks he can take advantage of in OSU's backcourt, which I doubt he has. Oh, and Tennessee is still lethal to force turnovers on Out-Of-Bounds plays, so be prepared for something bad to happen there.
Thirdly, I guess, here's to a good game tonight. And may the refs not screw with outcome! Go Vols!
thanks for being civil. good points. thanks for the insight on the lack of pressing
I wish I could purchase and consume some of said beer.
Yeah, good luck man. It's been good games in the past when these two have mixed it up. Tonight promises to be the same.

old news. jasmyn is a retard.(no offense meant to the mentally challenged)
sbb, do I annoy you or something? I realize that this a pretty tight group and I don't mind being ignored most of the time, but when you respond to me you seem testy and dismissive.
i don't think SBB responds to anyone in anything but a caustic tone.
nothing against you at all pam. i guess sometimes intent is not very well understood in text.
does she not understand sarcasm and dry humor?
it's pretty evident that she has the sense of humor of a moldy sponge by reading that article. i award her no points, and may god have mercy on her soul.
Cool. Good to know. I have never read anything by Miss Jasmyn until the BR article and I posted it in case you guys hadn't either. She is a very pretty idiot.
Love the SI article - it certainly puts Matta's decision to keep the starters on the floor so much in a different light.
yeah, it was obvious that she 1)hadn't read much on club tril and 2)knows nothing about Titus.
So nice to see a fan of the opponent post something respectable and free of vitriol. You've kind of scared me about the turnovers, though. We need Turner to have no more than 5 turnovers, IMO.
I found the comments to be very entertaining. Not a single person took her side.
