3 Sheeps even made a custom beer for the night called Violence of the Lambs, a blood red amber ale with pomegranates. Read More

Walking into the grain room at 3 Sheeps Brewing Co. is, like with most things at Grant Pauly’s Wisconsin brewery, slightly out of the ordinary.

“We’re on the third floor, which is unusual for a grain room because of the weight but this building is an old sock factory and they used to keep the equipment up here,” Grant explains, “The floor boards are about 10 inches thick.”

Arts & Crafts is an event series in partnership with Chicago beer bloggers, The Hop Review that celebrates art, craft beer, and the culture that ties both together. At each event, guests meet local Chicago artists at the top of their craft and learn about their process while enjoying beer from some of the country’s best breweries.

 

This Thursday (6/25), we’re joining forces with BucketFeet for an evening of beer tastings inspired by the artist-designed shoes showcased in BucketFeet’s brand new Bucktown Studio. The artists behind the designs will be present to discuss their process and share the craft beer that best correlate to their art.

 

Tickets are $10 and include four beer samples provided by Lakeshore Beverage’s craft beer specialists!

#CCBW | Chicago Craft Beer Week In Review ›
On May 27, 2015  ·  in 3 Sheeps Brewing, Ale Syndicate, Chicago Craft Beer Week, Founders Brewing Co., Goose Island Beer Co., Local Option Bierwerker, Motor Row Brewing, SweetWater Brewing, Tallgrass Brewing, Virtue Cider

We celebrate craft beer in Chicago every day but that doesn’t prevent us from getting excited when Chicago Craft Beer Week rolls around. This year we sent Matt Tanaka, our blogger and beer traveller out into the city to liveblog his way through all 11 days of #CCBW. He drank fantastic beer, ate tasty food and spent time with people from every corner of the Chicago craft beer scene — and brought his camera with him as he did so.

Check out this video we put together of some of the highlights and then see our favorite photos below.
