A few days shy of his 70th birthday, Big Al Jorgensen, President of Rogue Ale’s Rogue Nation has just finished a 3,572 mile, 11-stop road trip from Oregon to Chicago. He’s been stopping in at beer bars across the country to establish Rogue Nation Embassies and spread the word about good beer, craftsmanship, and the importance of being “rogue-ish.”
I sat down with Big Al, got a tour of the RV-Force One and learned a more about his crazy adventure. Read More
We had the pleasure of attending one of the most sought after events of the National Restaurant Association show, the SmartBrief BBQ Championship with Stella Artois. The goal was to to sample dishes from some of Chicago’s best and most exciting chefs to choose our favorite five dishes to pair with our Stella Artois, Stella Artois Cidre and Leffe.
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.

Saturday was Welles Park Craft Beer Fest, the official closing event of CCBW, although the week technically extends into tomorrow. Read More
