It's Orange Sunshine Season Again!!!

April 18, 2021 by brian buckman

It's the little victories that we've come to enjoy & appreciate these waning days of the long, strange winter that was last year.

Our Little Victory for today: It's ORANGE SUNSHINE season once again!! And boy does it taste good.

As always, Orange Sunshine is made with hand-zested oranges & lemons as well as our house yeast, Tim, providing a dusting of peppery aroma to the citric radiance. As people get vaxxed-up and restrictions get eased, it's gonna be a hot and nutty summer. Orange Sunshine should prove the perfect co-conspirator for whatever you have in mind.

Hitting the streets along with this year's ORANGE SUNSHINE is a fresh batch of THE BALLAD OF THE PEANUT BUTTER PONY, our 12% stout made with cocoa and a non-allergenic peanut butter extract. In case you're curious, the extract tastes great. By our peanut butter obsessed standards here, it tastes better than the real thing in this beer. It would have to or we wouldn't have put it in there!

We're packaging our first release out of our new production space and tap room tomorrow!! ASTRONAUT JUICE is an 8% Double Dry Hopped Double IPA made with over 4lbs per barrel of hops including Citra, Mandarina Bavaria & Mosaic.

To celebrate our new home and new neighborhood, we've made it available to our newest neighbor first, WineStyles! You’ll be able to pick up a 4-pack of Astronaut Juice from WineStyles in Norwood Park starting at noon on Tuesday, April 20th. Deliveries will go out to all other stores on Wednesday.

Very soon, you’ll be able to pick up these releases directly from the IBW Lodge at 6186 N Northwest Hwy, but, while we finish gussying up our new place up, we are stoked to have WineStyles be your IBW neighborhood outlet.

To reserve your 4-pack of Astronaut Juice, just fill out this form. An associate will reach out to you via phone or you can call WineStyles after submitting this form with your credit card information to complete the sale and coordinate in-store or curbside pickup. Any questions, just contact WineStyles at 847-518-9463.

We do have one more exciting announcement to make, but I think we'll give it just a couple more days to stew in the radosphere before we release the proverbial kraken. Please do stay tuned...
