Wednesday October 29th from 6-8pm come join your friends and neighbors to pack whistle bags to help protect your friends and neighbors! A couple lovely Moms from here in Norwood Park are coordinating this event and providing whistles, the whistle protocol sheet and a Know Your Rights breakdown that, after you show up and help assemble them, they will distribute around Little Libraries throughout the city. This is meant to be a fun and productive way to not only help mobilize the efforts to protect your fellow American citizens but to meet people who are committed to protecting the American project of Democracy and cognitive Liberty. We'll be donating some revenue from beer sold during this event as well. We'll probably order some food or get a food truck and maybe even have some live music to help keep the mood high. I'm hoping to get Anthony from @harebraineddesign out here slinging his incredible STFU wares for you as well and raise even more money. And, if you don't buy some on the 29th you can (and should!) always go to his site at https://www.harebraineddesign.com/ He's already raised for $4k for NPR and the ICIRR with his work. And, to sweeten the meat even more, stick around on the 29th as 9pm we have a new game of MURDER BINGO being offered by your lovely & leggy host Handsome Rob. We'll be playing with the truly twisted piece of cinema known amongst humanoids as TRICK R TREAT (not the 80s one with Gene Simmons and Skippy, a newer and more deranged one). Come on by, make friends out of strangers and do a small part in taking back our beautiful city of Chicago from the Masked and Unidentified assailants of whatever source (how do you know, you know?) lurking our streets and threatening our neighborhoods.

The IBW Liebrary. Get learned, son!

@happylobsterchi is back tonight 10/17 from 5pm - 8pm. And what could be a better way to wash down a delicious hot n' buttered lobster roll than with 45 pints of freshly packaged TRUST lager? Orange Sunshine & Pazuzu's Pedals are back on tap, too. And, of course, REMEMBER Ecto-Slushy is here for a hot minute before it de-materializes back to the astral plane! SEE YOU TONIGHT!

TRUST is BACK ON TAP!!!! The long, national nightmare of not having any GD Trust is finally OVER!! Service starts at 4pm today and I'll be dancing about and delivering Trust to all you badgers that have been badgering me about this for the past couple of months. COME AND GET IT!! ALSO!! Around 8p tonight I'll be putting on one of the GREATEST OCCULT HORROR FILMS OF ALL OF THE TIMES.... Hp Lovecraft's THE DUNWICH HORROR... produced by Roger Cormen and starring DEAN STOCKWELL in his (I believe) debut role (certainly his first (and probably only) leading roll. Come see SANDRA DEE sacrificed to the Old Ones as a mustachioed Dean Stockwell encants from the dread NECROMICON. Yes, it is objectively one of the greats. Just behind THE DEVIL RIDES OUT. COME GET YOUR TRUST!!! #Chicago #ibwlodge1 #chicagobeer #illinoiscraftbeer #drinklocal #norwoodpark #enjoywithpeopleyoutrust #trivia #tuesdaytrivianights #trustlager

$5 pours of Junior Astronaut tonight for the game. If there's enough interest, Matty will bring in some pizzas from Dinos. Go Bears!

It's Saturday so we open at 2pm today! ECTO-SLUSHY, our favorite Halloween tradition now for the last 4 years is back!!!! If you want to get your mitts on some of this beautiful, green monstrosity, you best hustle up as it's going fast. And IBW Lodge #1 is the ONLY place where you can get 4-packs of ECTO-SLUSHY. All of our accounts sell 2-packs, but we offer you a special extra treat for coming and getting this lovely slime-rich concoction from the source. Slime-rich sounds like a good thing, right? Emily's behind the bar this afternoon offering draft pours of ECTO-SLUSHY to go along with your purchase of the at-home game version. And, it's Saturday, so we have $11 flights ALL AFTERNOON. COME GET SLIMED!! #Chicago #ibwlodge1 #chicagobeer #illinoiscraftbeer #drinklocal #norwoodpark #enjoywithpeopleyoutrust #ectoslushy
