Ommegang For the Throne - CAA

Brewery Ommegang Presents: For the Throne

Tuesday, April 9 @ 7:00pm

Chicago Athletic Association | 12 S Michigan Ave

The final season of Game of Thrones comes out this month and that means a new Game of Thrones-inspired beer from our friends at Brewery Ommegang. For the Throne is a strong golden ale that's co-fermented with Pinot Grigio and Viognier grape juices, then bottle conditioned with Champagne yeast. It's a beer that deserves a grand party, Westeros style.

If you've been to previous Ommegang release parties like this one or this one, you know it's a good time. And this year is no exception. Brewery Ommegang is teaming up with the Chicago Brewseum and the Chicago Athletic Association to bring a unique perspective of beer and history to the table.
