Let’s be honest, January kind of sucks. After hearing every iteration of “New year, new ___” that’s humanly possible, I think we’re all just ready for springtime. Yeah? Yeah.
So alas, we put our hope in the only scientific reasoning that can truly tell us how much winter we have left: Punxsutawney Phil aka The Groundhog. That’s right, Groundhog Day is right around the corner and we thought it only appropriate to celebrate with two of our favorite things: beer and movies.
Our friends over at Burnt City Brewing got wind of the idea and decided to brew a special beer inspired by the movie, Groundhog Day. The beer, appropriately dubbed, “Groundhop Day IPA” will be released in conjunction with a one-night-only screening of the movie at The Logan Theater on Thursday, February 2nd. Yep, it’s going to be a party. And Bill Murray, if you’re out there listening, you can come too.
We tagged along with Burnt City for the brew day of Groundhop Day IPA, a repeatedly hopped IPA.
January 11th is National Milk Day and if you ask us, that calls for celebration. And how else to celebrate than with a milk stout or four? Milk stouts are made with lactose, a disaccharide sugar that is not fermented by yeast during brewing. This process is what’s used to sweeten the beer; resulting in that sweet sweet milk stout goodness we love so dearly. Watch as our fearless trainer and educator, Chris Kolodziej, explains milk stouts further. Read More
Now that we’ve passed the winter solstice, everyday is one day closer to spring. And after several months of dark and heavy beers, January is the perfect time for something lighter, something new, and something that will keep us looking towards baseball season. Leave it to Chicago’s own Goose Island Beer Company to fulfill those notions with their brand new seasonal, Preseason Lager, a Vienna-style lager made with both German and American hops. We sat down with Goose Island’s Retail Development Manager and Advanced Cicerone, Beau Forbes, for a private tasting of the new beer.
