Brewed with 2-Row and White Wheat, Willamette hops, and Omega Yeast's Tartango. The appearance is a hazy yellow body topped by an initial off-white foam that slowly dissipates. The aroma is packed with a tangy bouquet of lemon, unripe peach and sour apple. The flavor is clean; a tart acidic bite with notes of lemon and sour stone fruit. Huge carbonation keeps this light beer feeling as refreshing as a sparkling lemonade. Light-bodied and dry, and perfect for pairing with tacos or burgers.

A black beer with ruby red highlights and a frothy tan head, Dri-Dek leaves cushy rings of lacing in the glass as it recedes. The aroma is filled with beautiful notes of Bakers chocolate, dried blueberries and Irish brown bread. The flavor has a mild bitterness that works in harmony with notes of roasted marshmallow, cocoa and black tea. There is a smooth, medium body, followed by a dry finish with a light lingering roasted note. Classic Irish Dry Stout, without the nitro!

It pours a pale gold with a light sheen in the body, and topped by a pure pearl white head that leaves behind solid lacing as the beer recedes in the glass. The aroma is an elegant mix of floral and herbal notes, with a bit of jasmine and lemon verbena showing up prominently. The bitterness is firm and bracing, and is supported by a light honey note from the malt. Dry and effervescent.

On The Prowl is a mixed-grain specialty saison, featuring barley, wheat, oats, spelt and rice in the grist, with a unique combination of Alsatian hops and a hint of Japanese Sorachi Ace. The result is a hazy gold beer with a blooming white head, and an aroma that's packed with pink peppercorn, bubblegum phenols, Meyer lemon, and a bright earthy quality, akin to cedarwood. It is very dry, and has a long, lingering bitterness, with a flavor of lemons, pepper, and cypress.

This dry, drinkable ode to Sauvignon Blanc wine is brewed with Pilsner and a touch of oats and fonio malt. 100% New Zealand hops were used in the kettle (Motueka and Nelson Sauvin) and the result was fermented with a special bioengineered yeast strain that creates aromas of passion fruit and guava. This beer is meant to be intensely fruity on the nose, and yet dry on the palate. Named in honor of Meredith Zielke's love for New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc wine and our zeal for her.

Jazz Pipe is made with 100% German Pilsner malt, and uses only US Pahto, Citra, Strata and New Zealand Nectaron hops. It pours a clear gold color topped by a frothy white head that leaves lacing on the glass. The aroma is packed with notes of citrus fruit, pineapple, and dank stuff. The flavor follows with orange-lemon creamsicle, pineapple, and a punchy bite, leaving the palette with a long, lingering bitterness (though not harsh). Smooth, and dangerously drinkable!

Brewed as an homage to our storefront neighbor Central Camera, a 120-plus year old establishment that is a 3rd generation family-run business. Out of Focus IPA is simple in nature, but delivers on what many so enjoy about this style: all the hoppy, juicy flavor with none of the bitterness. For our version, we use Citra, Sabro, Dolcita and HBC 472 hops to punch up the flavors of coconut, strawberry, ripe melon and pineapple. The malt is a mix of pale, pilsner, oats, wheat and dextrin malt. (Also available in 16oz cans for on-site or to-go)

Inspired by a Mezcal Paloma, we took a Gose base recipe, and added oak-smoked wheat malt and grapefruit peel to give us a more nuanced experience that marries smoke, salt and tartness in a unique, refreshing, patio-friendly beer. This beer is incredibly good for pairing food with, and will also make a killer beermosa with grapefruit juice!

A vibrant gold body with a light sheen, topped by a frothy, off-white head. The aroma is filled with notes of fresh baked country bread, light clover honey, and grassy hops. The flavor follows with a light malt sweetness balanced against a mild bitterness. There is a very subtle fruitiness in the finish, thanks to the esters from the yeast. The result is one of the more “lager-like” ales one could ask for.

This deep chestnut brown beer is the result of a four-way collaboration with the Design Museum of Chicago, Beer Culture Center, Buckledown Brewing and Industry Ales. We started with a prompt: make a beer that pays homage to beer's collective past while looking forward to our future. We decided on brewing a relatively obscure beer style that was in fashion around post-Prohibition era, the Half & Half. Often this was half porter and half pale ale. So in designing these two beers that were destined to be blended, we made a porter utilizing flaked Kernza (a perennial grain that can be harvested for several years without replanting, that has an incredible root structure to help prevent soil erosion) and a pale ale utilizing Fonio (a savannah grass that is incredibly draught tolerant and related to millet). The hops used in both beers were all part of the USDA's hop growing trials, which are publicly available hops that are bred to be more disease resistant, have better yield, and are proven in brewhouses all around the country for market appeal. The pale ale features Vista and Vera, while the porter features Pahto and HBC 472.

We partnered with Go Brewing to create our very own non-alcoholic beer. We took inspiration from a historic beer style from Germany, the Lichtenhainer. Originally a smokey wheat beer that cam in under 4% ABV, we thought it would translate well to an NA beer given it's light percentage anyway. The result is a light, zippy, gently smoked beer that brings interesting flavor profiles together.
