A summery treat on an almost winter day is what we’re craving. @unibroue’s Ephemere Wit is made with strawberry and rhubarb - soft, crisp, zesty, clove spice, jam.

We voted! Did you? Reward yourself for choosing to participate in democracy with a refreshing Helles Lager by @gcbrewingco 🏅🍻🇺🇸

Happy Halloween! @pollyanna_brewing_company Toasted Marshmallow Fun Size Milk Stout is made with everything you’d find in your favorite candy bar with a lil buzz at the end. This one is definitely a treat! 🎃🍻🍫

Organic still cider aged in rye whiskey barrels for 14 months? Sold! @jksfarmhouseciders is on tap now and pairs perfectly with this golden pile of fallen leaves #getcozy

This beauty tastes as good as it looks! This week our 45 day dry aged wagyu burger is topped with roasted peaches, bacon, arugula, and goat cheese.

@alemanchicago’s Venkman Tangerine DIPA is on tap just in time! Ecto Cooler inspired DIPA brewed with fresh hand-pressed tangerine juice and zest. Slimer beware! 💚👻🍻

We are lucky to have @trvebrewing’s Seven Doors Hoppy Grisette on tap as only a few kegs were shipped to Chicago. Cousins to the saison, a grisette was traditionally brewed for miners rather than farmers. Hop forward, lemony crisp, pepper, earth, funk and grass. And did we mention glowing?!

It’s that time of year! Colorful leaves, football, a chilly breeze, smoked brisket and chipotle cheddar cheese. Was that a poem? We think we’ll call it “Da Bears Burger: Cutler’s Last Stand”

@breweryommegang’s Rosetta is a beautiful brew crafted by their sister brewery, Liefmans. A balanced blend of of an old brown ale aged on cherries, a young oud bruin, and a kriek. Balsamic vinegar, tart cherry, leather, oak, spice.

@5rabbitbrewery’s Vida y Muerte is brewed for the day of the dead. A play on a traditional Märzen style, this ones brewed with dulce de leche & hojo santo - an aromatic herb often used in mole verde. As unique and lovely as it’s hand made tap handle! 🍂🐰🍻
