⭐️🍻 Fun & Unique Date Night Idea in Chicago 🍻⭐️
I am ALWAYS looking for outside-the-box date night ideas for my boyfriend and I, and this Malt Row Brewery Hop is the perfect idea for anyone who wants to try something new! 🩵
@maltrowchicago in @ravenswood_chi is home to sooo many incredible breweries and distilleries - there’s seriously something here for everyone! We got the chance to tour 3 amazing breweries on our date night - including ⬇️
1️⃣ @iswasbrewing (with delicious musubi bites from @kanin.chi ) - specializes in saisons, has so many incredible bottled options!
2️⃣ @spitefulbrewing - award winning beers, a taproom with darts and bar snacks
3️⃣ @halfacrebeer - beer garden & full kitchen + home to the infamous Daisy Cutter!
I’d highly recommend stealing this route for your own date night - you will have SO MUCH FUN! Thanks so much to the team at @bettiebombagency and all of the amazing breweries + the team at @ravenswood_chi who hosted us for this night! We had a blast 🩵 #hosted

We are incredibly excited to announce our Sunday Pop-Up Series!
We’ve had the incredible opportunity to make beer with some of the best restaurants in Chicago. They are often gracious enough to let us (and our beers) into their homes, so this time we are returning the favor! One Sunday every month, we’re going to host one of Chicago’s finest at our taproom for an evening of ridiculous food, great beers, and general hijinks. Each pop-up might look a little different depending on the partner, but generally speaking these will be casual hangs — so bring your friends, your appetite and kick those Sunday blues in the ass.
Today we are excited to announce our first four pop-ups:
@laopengyouchi — Sunday, May 24th
@bouchonchicago — Sunday, June 28th
@mooncussercountry — Sunday, July 19th
@cashs_kitchen — Sunday, August 23rd
More details to follow, but mark your calendars!

We got a really kind shoutout from our friend @jakeguidry over at @hopewellbrewing in a recent @vinepair piece asking 9 brewers to name a future classic. Humbling to be mentioned alongside some truly incredible beer.
Will Be came before is/was brewing was even an idea — and it is now the foundation for almost everything we’ve made since. It encapsulates everything we love about saison: aromatic, dry, and balanced, with a rustic, ever-evolving character that keeps this beer endlessly interesting.
We’re honored to share it with you!

Happy opening day! Hit up @gmantavern before today’s Cubs home opener for a pint or two of Split Squad, a saison brewed with sunflower seeds. Made in collaboration with @revbrewchicago
The Finer Points of Bad Behavior Vol. XXVII Passionfruit & Brettanomyces Bruxellensis
The Finer Points of Bad Behavior is our ever-evolving series pairing seasonal ingredients with unique yeast strains chosen to complement, contrast, and elevate each other. Some friends shipped us passionfruit from Ojai, CA, so we paired it with Brettanomyces Bruxellensis which is known for its citrus character. Tropical aromas of passionfruit, lemon peel, and pineapple with a long, complex finish and quenching acidity. If you weren’t already begging for summer, this will get you there.

🌻⚾We’re tapping Split Squad, a Saison made with malted sunflower seeds from @sugarcreekmaltco , brewed in collaboration with @revbrewchicago , on Wednesday March, 25th to celebrate opening day! Come watch the Yankees play at 7pm in our taproom.
Also! Throughout the season Split Squad will be $1 off after a Cubs Win, so stop when the fly the “W” and have a beer!
