A True Original

Goldfinger Brewing Company's Original Lager is fresh off the canning line and hitting distribution.  Keep an eye out and grab yourself a four-pack!  If you haven't had "The OG", this is a beer that truly transcends generations.  You may have enjoyed one with your father or grandfather watching a ball game, or you may be enjoying one around a campfire with your neighbors.  Cold, crisp, light but flavorful.

Stache Strong

Whiskey Hill is kicking off Illinois Craft Beer Week with Stache Strong.  Here's a chance to #DrinkForGood, as a portion of the proceeds will go to the Stache Strong foundation who is working hard in the battle against brain cancer.

Two from Metal Monkey

Two distinctly different beers, but both have the great taste you expect from the Monkeys.  Bikini Bottom and Asmodeous will be back on Thursday.  If you don't know Asmodeous, it's a big monster.  This Russian Imperial Stout is big with hints of chocolate and coffee.  Bikini Bottom is on the opposite end of the spectrum.  This is a pineapple gose, with coriander and Himalayan salt to give this a unique flair.

Strewn Field

The third release for Whiskey Hill during Illinois Craft Beer Week.  This Russian Imperial Stout features toasted coconut, cassia bark, and Ghana cocoa nibs.  Only available for on-site consumption on Thursday, 5/20.

A Truly Sublime Beer

Garage Band is re-releasing a refreshing one for their second anniversary ... Sublime!  This Gose is made with equal parts Wheat and Pilsen malts, Pink Himalayan Sea Salt and crushed Coriander & blended with a healthy amount of key lime!

Things We Don't Say - Miskatonic Style

Miskatonic's spin on Things We Don't Say is the regular beer with a West Coast spin on it.  This will be hitting four packs and the taps on Friday.

A Summertime Treat

Rt66 Old School Brewing's Bomber Shandy is a pure summer time treat.  It's a tasty wheat beer with that beautiful lemon flavor.  Perfect for days like these.

Cold Fresh Joy

To me, every beer is cold fresh joy.  Although, when you drink this one from Skeleton Key Brewery, you'll know why it has the name.  It's a Helles-style beer that can basically pair with anything.  It's a perfect go-to fridge beer.
