Coming This Week (1/9/18)

Hey Everyone!
Thanks for checking out our brand new blog, where we'll keep you in the loop on what's new and what's on the way. We'll do our best to keep you entertained, which shouldn't be hard because we are pretty friggin' cool!

Coming This Week:

Marz Community Brewing:
Our friends at Marz, known for their creative and unique beer styles, are back at it this week with their latest release: "Tart N' Tangy," a hybrid Wild New England Style IPA with Lactose. This release comes on the heels of Marz's previous two phenomenal "Hazy" IPAs, Holihaze and Crazy Straws. Look for Tart N' Tangy on our shelves this week.


Illuminated Brew Works:
To be enjoyed with people you trust, of course, Illuminated has a few new batches brewing. This week, they'll be releasing "Spoonful of Sugar," a Double Dry Hopped Double IPA brewed with Motueka, Citra and Galaxy Hops, with a lactose finish to top it off.
Not in the mood for a hoppy beer? Illuminated is also releasing "Tim Curry," which, as its name suggests, is a chocolate curry stout (yes, curry).
Look for these bad boys on our shelves this weekend.

Just look at those hops


Sketchbook Brewing:
Sticking with our theme of Chicagoland brews, the good folks at Evanston's Sketchbook Brewing have been a major hit during their brief history at Cardinal. This week we'll be receiving a fresh batch of their hazy "Insufficient Clearance" NE style IPA, along with their "Orange Door IPA." In addition to that, we'll be receiving a batch of their new "Turbulence," a Russian Imperial Stout , and their "Pinky Sweater," red rice pilsner.

Craft Beer Power Rankings!

Image
Welcome Back! This article, in which I rank the beers that we currently have in stock, is the start of something new that I thought of while speaking to some of my co-workers as we brainstormed new methods of speaking craft beer. How It Works: In "Craft Beer Power Rankings," we highlight our expansive collection of craft beers by first grouping our beers into categories based on style of beer (IPA, Stout, Sour, etc.) We then rank the top 10 beers that we currently have in stock in each group. We rank the beers by distilling several important pieces of information relating to each beer into one aggregate score. We calculate the scores of each beer based on a number of factors, including each beer's Untappd score, Rate Beer  score, and overall reputation of the brewery that brewed each beer. Top 10 IPAs In Stock (Week of 4/16) 10.) Maine Brewing (Maine): Woods & Waters IPA (6.2% ABV, Format: 16.9oz Bottle)   Untappd: 4/5  Ratebeer: 98/100 From The Horse's

New Beers Arriving This Week!!

Welcome back everyone. It's been a little while since my last post, and I apologize for the delay. Besides our obvious name change, I have also been pre-occupied with several large projects related to Joe's Beverage Warehouse, including some exciting new collaborations on the horizon (shhhh...it's still a secret). In any event, I am back and better than ever, sitting in front of my cheap laptop to tell you about some new beers that will be hitting our shelves this week! Cigar City: "White Oak Jai Alai" A few months back, Cigar City Brewing of Tampa, FL made our hearts flutter when they began distributing in Chicagoland. Now that the brewery has installed its mainstay lineup into our repertoire, it's time to spice things up a bit. Enter: "White Oak Jai Alai." This sophisticated spin on the brewery's flagship IPA involves an addition of white oak spirals into its brewing process, which leads to a finished product that has unmistakable hints

From Reality TV Show Contestants to Craft Beer Pioneers

Image
In all walks of life, there are those who walk in the footsteps of giants, and there are others who choose to blaze their own trails. This holds true in the craft beer industry, where there are now over 6,000 breweries in the U.S. alone. Under these circumstances, many breweries continue to falter as they churn out the same old tired IPAs and lagers. One brewery, however, has gone out on a limb and is now changing the game and spreading its wings at Cardinal Liquor Depot Joliet. MobCraft Presenting Their Business on Reality TV hit show "Shark Tank" Changing The Game :  As I was flipping through channels one boring night, I decided to check out "Shark Tank," a reality show where business owners present their plans and goals to a group of successful wealthy business moguls in hopes of receiving their blessing in the form of an investment in their companies. On this night, MobCraft Brewing of Milwaukee was on the show, pitching their idea to the "Sharks.
