On an unseasonably warm evening in October, Chicago dog lovers gathered at Bucktown Pub to celebrate their love for pups and pints with Rogue Ales.
There was a costume contest (obviously) with prizes from Krisers Natural Pet in Bucktown, a ton of delicious Rogue Ale’s Dead Guy and the opportunity for the pets to join the brewery’s official fan club, Rogue Nation. The dogs raised their right paws, performed the official ceremony, walked the official red carpet, and received their official membership cards.
Check out the photos below of ceremony and then scroll to the end to catch the official Pup Portraits!
Today we continue our collaboration series with local artist and craft beer blogger, MC Johnsen of Worth 1000 Beers. We call it Beer Prints. MC, our Artist-in-Residence, creates a new beer print each month to highlight a new-to-Chicago release on the Lakeshore Beverage portfolio. You can only get these special-edition prints through the Worth 1000 Beers Etsy store or by entering to win one on this blog. Take a look at last month’s Beer Print on Schlafly’s Pumpkin Ale.
MC’s work is as unique as it is useful, as it beautifully illustrates the aromas and flavor profiles in the beer she’s featuring. Studying her prints with a pint of the featured beer is a great way to train your palate to pickup the complexities in the glass. In this month’s piece, MC highlights the tart cherry and toffee notes in Brewery Ommegang’s new Belgian-Style Kriek called Rosetta.

We certainly did. Read More
Summer is great — we can all agree on that. But we think there’s a lot to be said for fall. Apple picking, pumpkin carving, light jackets — oh, and fall beer. Yes, pumpkin beers are on the shelves, but there’s more to it than just that. It could be called the best time to drink beer: richer, spicier and warmer flavors and more complex beers are here!
Below are some of our favorite beers that, once it hits your lips, you start seeing red, orange and yellow leaves and you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and you’re wearing flannel. Embrace autumn, everyone.
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.”
