Is FW releasing all of their beers in cans? I saw Pivo and Easy Jack yesterday. Would love to get my hands on some Pale 31 in cans.

I think the goal is to release all of the core beers in cans but I haven't seen 31 in cans yet.
Heck yeah I blog about homebrewing: Brain Sparging on Brewing

Nice selection!!

FYI for all interested in Samichlaus, Sami has 3 varians Classic, Helles, and Schwarzbier (new). The Classic should be available year round. The Helles and Schwarz will be seasonal and rotate with each other every six months.

The Helles version is quite nice.   
Just had FW Double Jack yesterday afternoon after a marathon cleaning session.  Damn, that's good drinkin.

Another local to look out for is Temperance. I really like their Gatecrasher IPA, which is English style. Their Restless Years Rye pale ale is nice, too. Lukewarm on their ESB.

There's a very new Whole Foods on East Illinois that has a pretty big make your own six pack section, though I couldn't tell you specifics.
It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.

It's awful hard to beat Samichlaus with a rich hearty meal!
