Welcome Back Fellow Beer Enthusiasts! We have a star-studded lineup of new beers arriving this week that we cannot wait to tell you about! PRAIRIE ARTISAN ALES: "DECONSTRUCTED BOMB!" Prairie Artisan Ales exploded into the Chicago market a few years ago with their flagship "Bomb!,"an imperial stout aged on coffee, cacao nibs, vanilla beans and ancho chili peppers. Prairie has called on its expert technicians to take their bomb apart and separate it into its individual elements. Enter: Prairie "Deconstructed Bomb," a variety 4-pack of imperial stouts, featuring all of the elements found in Bomb!: an imperial coffee stout, a chili pepper stout, cacao nib stout and vanilla stout. This explosive creation will hit our shelves this week, for a very limited time only.

Welcome back, everyone! We have some major industry news in the works, as well as a bounty full of new releases slated to hit our shelves this week. BREAKING NEWS : Cigar City Brewing Hitting our Shelves This February! After years of dominating the beer scene in Florida and many southern states, Tampa, Florida's Cigar City Brewing recently announced that they will be beginning distribution to the Chicago market this February. Best known for their "Jai Alai IPA" and "Hunaphu's Imperial Stout," Cigar City sits in the upper-echelon of American craft breweries in terms of overall popularity. The brewery's arrival to the Chicago market has been long-awaited. From my personal perspective, I have many customers who travel down to Tampa annually in hopes of snagging a few bottles of one of the brewery's limited beers. As with all other breweries that we work with, we plan on being THE destination for all Cigar City limited releases and special events. W...

Marz Brewing of Chicago has been outright kicking ass in our store since we began carrying their beers a few months ago. This past month, Marz has serenaded us with a beautiful array of hazy IPAs, such as "Holihaze," "Tart n Tangy," "Crazy Straws," and "Overhaze." This week, Marz changed things up, brewing "Bubbly Kriek," a tart and fruity Berliner Weiss brewed with fresh cherries. I had the pleasure of drinking a few of these bad boys and I thought so highly of it that I would like to share my experience with you. Freshly Poured Into our Finest Plastic Cup (for um....Aromatic Purposes) Aroma:   This beer oozes a strong sour cherry aroma upon opening. Without having to actually taste the beer, one can sense the fruitiness and acidity it purveys from its smell alone. Pour : The fluidity of this beer's entrance into my cup was smooth as hell. With a subtle haze and the darkness of a cold glass of sweet tea on a hot summ...
