IMO
Fat Tire is the worst of the lot. It’s their most famous/popular beer, especially in Chicago when they hit the market, but it’s a very good brewery whose other beers I like better. Trippel is the favorite, love the Abbey as well, and I’d also recommend the Sunshine wheat. Really nice micro-brewery.

But I think the minor league playoffs start in October, so the September call-ups can play for the big boys, and then play in the minors after Oct 1.
