Chicago Beer Pass: Alarmist Brewing

Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago.

This week on Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski & Nik White make their way to Alarmist Brewing to sit with Gary Gulley & Aaron Dahl to talk about the brewery and their recent gold medal win at GABF for Le Jus. This was the first time Hazy IPAs had their own category to be judged at GABF and to see Chicago take home gold warms our heart. 

The journey for Alarmist Brewing has been pretty amazing to watch if you have been paying attention. Gary Gulley has shared many parts of the journey since the early days on the Alarmist Brewing Facebook page. Taking home this award not only makes all Chicago beer nerds feel proud but hopefully means everyone will be seeing more excellent beer from Alarmist Brewing.

Chicago Beer Pass: Dovetail Dollars

Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago.

This week on Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski & Nik White krack open the Kriek from Dovetail. Nik picked up this beer with his Dovetail dollars a few weeks ago and we finally had a chance to pop the top off this one. As the guys crush this beer they chat about trips to Beermiscuous and Wicker Park fest. 

Coming up this week you have #IPADay and #InternationalBeerDay so make sure your fridge is full. On Saturday and Sunday be sure to make your way over to the Chicago Brewing District as they are having an event called Dancing in the Streets.

Chicago Beer Pass: Pumpkin Spice

Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago.

On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White open a beer that I don't think you'd really see either of them drinking, the Pumpkin Spice Latte from Pipeworks Brewing. This beer is an oat ale with pumpkin puree, coffee, milk sugar, vanilla, and pumpkin spices. It was surprisingly good and not overly sweet, but yeah, if you like PSLs, this is a beer for you. As the guys slide into fall, Nik shares his Kolosh adventure he recently went on, and Brad talks about his trip to the SOX game and Marz Community Brewing.

Chicago Beer Pass: Fall into Oktoberfest

Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago.

On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White are getting into the Oktoberfest beers! Honestly, it still feels relatively early to bust out the steins since it's still 80 degrees in Chicago, but the guys do what they need to do. Kicking off the season, they open a couple cans of Oktoberfest from Bubblehouse Brewing. Brad recently stopped there and couldn't resist picking up these cans. Brad and Nik also decided to open a can of Deep Woods from Revolution to pair with the malty Oktoberfest. Prost!

Chicago Beer Pass: So Common

Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago.

On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White open cans of a new beer from Old Irving, their Kentucky Common called Long Forgotten. Old Irving says this is one of only two or three beer styles considered indigenous to the United States, which was an unknown fact to the guys. As the guys crush a couple of these cans, they talk about a few stops they have made and go over the latest Goose Island Bourbon County Stouts hitting the market in a few months.

Chicago Beer Pass: Dry Stouts

Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago.

On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White are keeping things short... it's been a hectic couple of weeks. Although the guys have been drinking a lot of Irish Red Ales lately they figured they should mix it up with a Dry Irish Stout, this one comes from the fine folks at Sketchbook Brewing. As they knock back a couple of cans Nik shares a few of the spots he's made it to because Brad's been slacking on the brewery hopping lately.
