It’s hard to believe a city like Chicago, with its storied history and prominent food culture, has never had a pizza festival. Ever.
“This is one of the best pizza cities in the entire country, let alone the world,” says Anthony Spina, Brand Manager for Old Style Beer. “You could try a different pizza place in Chicago everyday for a year and never run out. It’s unbelievable.”
Thanks to everyone who made it out for our 3 Sheeps Brewing “Beat the Brewer” event at WhirlyBall! When we weren’t incessantly running into each other with bumper cars, we took time to enjoy some rare beers from 3 Sheeps including the ghost pepper infused, Hoppy Spice.
We had a blast welcoming Brooklyn Brewery’s New York Comic Con collaboration beer, Defender IPA to Chicago. We celebrated the release in style at the one-and-only Rotofugi Gallery with tunes from Cage & Aquarium, custom comic book portraits from artist Kat Janda, a raffle for some awesome artwork by Khary Randolph and of course, killer beer.
