Hey! Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi!

First off: look at all this FRESH and DERICIOUS beer we've got for sale here at IBW Lodge #1 and out in the world:

All of this is available RIGHT NOW here at the Lodge EXCEPT the 4-packs of WAR ON XMAS:GINGERBREAD MAN will be available starting TOMORROW at our BLACKEST OF WEDNESDAY celebration.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves now, ya hear? First things first, we've got some goings-ons here TONIGHT:

Richard Metzger's newest episode of MAGICK SHOW has been released and we're doing an encore FREE SCREENING of it at 6pm on Tonight to help Kim Vavrick celebrate her 63rd birthday. Come check out the second episode of this wonderful series and wish Kim luck as she journeys into the land of AARP.

The episode we're showing tonight is all on WITCHCRAFT. Pulling from over 50 interviews with many of today's most public practitioners, MAGICK SHOW takes you through the history, the present and the future of the arcane arts. Come by, enjoy the show on us and meet some other practitioners and curious folk alike.

Wednesday is a few people's favorite annual tradition here at IBW LODGE #1: THE BLACKEST OF WEDNESDAYS.

Designed to offer you refuge from your family on the Night Before Thanksgiving, this raucous little event has grown a life of its own over the years much in the way our army of Gingerbread Men have become autonomous beings activating their golem-like programming in surprising and effective ways!

This year, as always, we're releasing WAR ON XMAS. This year's flavor is GINGERBREAD MAN. You get that familiar 11% white lactose stout base you know and love, but this year it's going to taste like you have lovely little gingerbread men dancing across your wagging tongue. Hot.

We'll have live Tarot Readings from The Emerald Acorn and fresh and hot pizza from THE PIZZA DOM.

At 9pm we'll be showing Gary Busey's magnum opus, "GINGERDEAD MAN". Don't miss any of it!

We're closed on Thursday. Duh.

And then Friday we open at noon and we're pouring a stout aged in Maplewood wheated bourbon barrels. And then at 9pm we've got a free live show from the Leo Milano Group as they slather on some jazz for you to help you get through the rest of your weekend.

And, of course, every Tuesday is TUESDAY TRIVIA NIGHT w/ MR. KING. The deadliest game of trivia in Chicago starts at 7:30pm every Tuesday!

What more do you need? I mean, really?
