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.
Meet the latest addition to Goose Island’s already impressive lineup: Four Star Pils. Brewed with German and American hops, this golden-hued Pilsner has a light, fresh body with a clean finish.
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.
In few situations is this more apparent than in collaboration beers, when two breweries combine their creative energies, talents, time and hard work to create something together. Competition be damned.

A decade ago, Jeff Gill’s wife asked him over dinner what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. He thought for a minute and for the first time voiced a dream he’d been nursing for years: “I want to start a brewery.” The very next day he started writing the plans for what would eventually become Tallgrass Brewing Company.
Now, 10 years later, the brewery is undergoing huge growth. They’re distributed in 14 states including Kansas, where they’ve just finished building a massive new brewery and are a year into managing a new brewpub. Things are going well for Jeff and his team and we sat down with him to talk about his home brewing roots, the Tallgrass CANifesto, and the brewery’s new series of experimental releases called the Explorer Series.
