We're packaging 2 custom cans today: one for the Norwood Park PTO and the other for a very cool kid's 12th birthday. We're going to start offering this service for folks going forward. We'll get a website and whatnot put together here shortly, but, in the meantime, if you're interested in discussing a project for a birthday, bar mitzvah, graduation, retirement, wedding, yada yada yada, you can DM us or email info@ibw-chicago.com and I'll get you all the info. It's surprisingly affordable, but we do need about 10 weeks lead time right now, so, sooner is better than later to start chatting about this. #Chicago #ibwlodge1 #chicagobeer #illinoiscraftbeer #drinklocal #norwoodpark #enjoywithpeopleyoutrust #customcans #birthdayseltzer #norwoodparkpto

HAPPY BICYCLE DAY!!! We normally do our Orange Sunshine release day today, but, since Orange Sunshine is available year round now, it's hard to have a release date. There's a riddle in there somewhere. Instead we're going to put 13oz pours of Orange Sunshine on special for $5 all day today. That's what we can do. But you! The real celebrating and honoring of this high holy day is upon you, good, fuzzy American! BTW... if anybody knows this artist, please give them a shout out. I dug through the fantastic site 1XRUN that was selling this vanity blotter but I think the image was too old and the page had expired. Beautiful work and, if you know who it is, please shout them out in the comments. (edit: It's @zieromuko ... Amazing stuff!)

I'm thrilled to have TONY'S HUMBLE PIE back in our rotation again. The last time we made this beer was back in early 2022 and I was really disappointed with the results. It was not the beer it should have been or once was, so we shelved it for a couple of years. When we decided to make this again, I was bound and determined to not only make it as good as it was when we first dropped it in 2018, but to make it better. And, I can say without too much ego, we did. To my tastes and to my intention of what I wanted this beer to be, this is one of our beer's that I'm most proud of once again. We initially made this in honor of Anthony Bourdain when he hung himself. I was kind of leveled that a guy who seemingly had everything a striving human might want still couldn't fill the hole in his heart or contend with whatever chemistries were driving his brains. I was also touched that I could be so deeply affected by the loss of someone I never knew personally and the implications of that. So, we made this beer with the intention of tearing a little hole of light into this frighteningly dark world. I imagined it being shared with friends and lovers and loved ones and doing its own minuscule and passing notion of driving 2 or more people together in Joy and Love. After stripping this little beast down to core parts and rebuilding it thoughtfully, I feel like the recipe is finally back there again and deserves its task we first set it out upon. I hope you all dig this beer. And I really hope you share it with friends you love who will be gone way sooner than you're ever going to want. And always... pLEASE!!... Enjoy with people you Trust!

MURDER BINGO is TONIGHT featuring TerrorVision's "Hell's Highway". Here's the synopsis: Four college friends take a fateful road trip on Hell's Highway...a direct route to terror. They pick up Lucinda, a deviant hitchhiker with lust for the kill. The group thinks they have rid themselves of the vicious pick-up, but she soon starts appearing around every corner and down every bend like a murderous mirage. Is this the work of the Devil or something else and can anyone stop her killing spree? Terror Vision delivers another video store staple in director Jeff Leroy’s Hell’s Highway. Anchored by a deliciously mad performance from Phoebe Dollar as hitchhiker Lucinda Polonia, the film is presented on Blu-ray for the first time from a new HD master and packed with special features. Hop in and hold on for what Brain Damage describes as, “One sick, twisted, bloody ride!” *************. ****************. ************** Join Handsome Rob every Wednesday as he guides you down the sordid alleys of American Horror films. This month's MURDER BINGO is sponsored by Chicago's @_terror_vision_ and all the features this month are from TerrorVision's catalogue. Come enjoy some truly original and ghastly offerings and, if you get the most Bingo's for the month after next Wednesday's showing of "End of the Line", than you'll win a TerrorVision tote bag full of all kinds of goodies from these wonderful freaks. Murder Bingo starts at 9pm and is strictly 21+ #Chicago #ibwlodge1 #chicagobeer #illinoiscraftbeer #drinklocal #norwoodpark #enjoywithpeopleyoutrust #terrorvision #hellshighway #hellshighway2002 #chicagohorrorfans #chicagohorrormovies #murderbingo
