Ruin Your Week w/ IBW, Liar's Club & Cochino y Los Pistoleros

Let's burn down this week before it ever gets started.

This Sunday at Liar's Club we've got world famous Tony Mugica's outlaw country band COCHINO Y LOS PISTOLEROS lowering the bar and devouring your good intentions as well as 3 IBW beers on tap.

The evening begins around 7:00p with BBQ out back. Once you filthy slaves devour all the bits of delicious carcinogen encrusted carcasses there will then be music. Live music. Live music that will make your soul turbid.

8:30 is Don Gibson on solo guitar
9:30 is Robert Rolfe Federson teaching you how to play guitar
10:30 is Cochino y Los Pistoleros teaching you how not to act

Liar's Club will be pouring 3 IBW beers: Orange Sunshine (5.3% Citrus Saison), Divine Invasion (6% Tart Farmhouse) and Radionic Amplifier (8% Brut IPA).

Here is the Facebook event page for those of you participating in that failed experiment.

Come out to this or live forever in a seething scab of regret.

Ok, that's all. We love you and only want what is best for you.

Gay Agenda Drops Today

Hot damn! Summer is upon us and so is our freshest offering to the world of DIPAs... GAY AGENDA!

Gay Agenda combines Idaho7, Motueka & Galaxy hops in a delicious, pilsen-based DIPA that then doubles-down on that decliciousness draping it in a cubic crap-ton of peaches. What you get is a stone fruit explosion of pure pleasure that will coat your taste buds in flavor linens like only gods would wear. Woah.

10% of all the profits from Gay Agenda will be given to our friends at Howard Brown Health to help their efforts to eliminate the disparities in healthcare experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people through research, education and the provision of services that promote health and wellness.

We've got a DIPA tap take over at Beer Temple next Friday featuring Gay Agenda as well as a new collaboration with our friends at Tavour. Among other surprises at that party we will have "Cover Daddy" Jeff Fox in his full leather gear with his faithful flying pups at his side. More info will be coming on this throw down later this weekend, stay tuned. For you Illuminated DIPA hogs out there, this one isn't to be missed.

And, yes - YES - we will have Gay Agenda shirts available in the next couple of weeks. Demand for these have been a bit overwhelming and who the hell are we to deprive you of your needs? Stay tuned for more info on that.

Alright, get out to your favorite bottle shops today and get multiple bottles of Gay Agenda to help take this weekend to some next level plateaus of radness, ok? Ok!

Orange Sunshine in 12oz Cans!!!

We're beyond excited to announce that this Friday, April 20th, is our official release date for Orange Sunshine in 12oz cans!!

Starting this Friday you should be able to find 6-packs of this summertime crusher at all the great bottle stores where you normally find IBW beer. And, as always, if you've got a spot that you think should be carrying us, talk to the store and have them reach out to us.

To celebrate this historic occasion (as well as Bicycle Day and 4/20), we'll be hosting a bunch of events in Chicago and the suburbs to lead up to this, with the premiere event at The Beer Temple this Friday.

For the party at Beer Temple, we'll have Orange Sunshine on tap as well as Cult of Sunshine (brett version of Orange Sunshine) and at least one more variant. Cans will also be available. There's a Blotter Paper Art Show as well as a giant Ouija board and Competitive Divination! Of course there will be some give aways as well as some other odd ends.

While you're waiting for your Orange Sunshine cans, we've got a few other exciting releases that went out this past Friday including a fresh and delicious batch of FRUIT SLAVE and this year's batch of BRONY. 

Both these DIPAs are pretty fantastic if we do say so ourselves. Get some quick as they won't last on the shelves!

The week before last saw the release of Astronaut Eye Scream, an 8% DIPA with lactose and Galaxy hops. Yes, it's fantastic, we promise.

And coming up in a few weeks we have Mugwump Brunch (sour DIPA with Orange Juice) and Tijuana Saison (a giant, 10% strong ale with tamarind, lemon juice & peppers).
