It's time once again for everybody's favorite game of glamour and chance... IBW'S MURDER BINGO starts tonight at 9pm! Gather your friends and coerce your enemies, huddle about the LED hearth to scream at the TV in TERROR and in VICTORY. Watch enriching films! Win beer! Learn something about yourself! Escape the world for a bit! In the great tradition of bummed out humans of old, we at Illuminated Brew Works will coalesce this fine, crummy evening to tempt the gods and bid upon our fates. Are you a Winner Winner? Or are you a Chicken Dinner? Are you a god among twerps? Or are you just trying to kill the pain for a tiny spell of favorless time? No need to answer now. Just come park your tucchus in a stool by tonight at 9pm and try your luck against the enginery of grandest Hollyweird. The game starts at 9pm. No one here gets out arrived.

Come load up on CLURICHAUN TRAP for whatever dark debasements you get up to during this strange slog of Irish-styled benders over the next few days. At 4.8% ABV you can literally drink these things from 9am one day until 7am the next and only have to pee twice. This is science and we are living in the future. We've got pints of Clurichaun Trap for $6 all weekend and 4-packs for $11. Load up today and tomorrow morning before the Northwest Side parade as we open at 10am on Sunday to enable you in exchange for money. We'll have our normal to-go beer available and we'll also be pouring our last sixtel of ECTO-SLUSHY for you sickos who insist on drinking something green to celebrate somebody's Irish heritage... or whatever it is we are celebrating here. J will be making his almost famous FRIED CORNED BEEF ROLLS to help coat your guts and @chucks_wood_fired_pizza will be rolling up around 2pm after the rolls wear off or run out, or, however that works. And, for your truly intrepid warriors, we will have ROBOT KARAOKE starting around 5 or 5:30. It's gonna be a day, so make sure you eat your vitamins and do your kegels. #Chicago #ibwlodge1 #chicagobeer #illinoiscraftbeer #drinklocal #norwoodpark #enjoywithpeopleyoutrust #chicagoirish #stpatricksdaychicago #StPatricksDay2025

ACT LIKE AN ADULT, its America's last resort... TUESDAY NIGHT TRIVIA w/ the admirably groomed and existentially effervescent, MASTER KING! We have captured a John Forbes in the wild and taught him how to pour beer (almost) and there will be music and there will be plumbing (almost) and there will be doors and handles and some chairs (almost) and floors and walls and ceilings and friends and enemies and cold pasta. WE OPEN AT 4PM FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST!!! DOENS'T ANYBODY DRINK AT 4PM ANYMORE???? (apologies for the outburst) And I would suggest you get here by 7pm to secure a cozy (almost) seat for the festivities that will begin at 7:30. Win your seat in history. Believe the unexpected. Live a watered-down Dream. TUESDAY NIGHT TRIVIA at IBW Lodge #1. #Chicago #ibwlodge1 #chicagobeer #illinoiscraftbeer #drinklocal #norwoodpark #enjoywithpeopleyoutrust #trivia #tuesdaytrivianights #trustlager #mrking

I'm just going to repost this every day until the clarity of the message saturates everyone's DNA and our neurons become the foot soldiers of our highest will toward intelligence and libertine liberty. K? K. oh and drink beer!

Join us Sunday March 23rd at 2:30pm at IBW Lodge #1 as we’ll be watching and discussing Richard Metzger’s (@richardmetzgerplustax) newest project, “Magick Show” (@magickshowcentral), a multi-part series diving deep into the history - and the Future! - of the Occult. Featuring interviews from Mitch Horowitz @mitchhorowitz23, Erik Davis, Grant Morrison @grant.morrison, Kenneth Anger @kennethangerofficial , Maja D'aoust and a ton more, this beautifully produced series will jump you into the Magickal stream, brain and body first. We’ll be showing each episode as they are released and discussing them immediately following. Sunday March 23rd we'll be digging into Episode #1. Are you a practitioner? Are you curious? This show has something for everybody. Come check it out and meet some other folks doing the royal Do. Here’s more info: "Magick Show" is a pioneering documentary series, crafted by individuals who live and breathe the arcane. It serves as a platform for a big conversation among some of the most intriguing personalities in the world of occultism. Through their insights and experiences, the series provides a unique perspective on the modern practice of magick. Beyond being an intellectual journey, "Magick Show" is itself a spell, a hyper-sigil designed to awaken, inspire, and unite the next generation of magical practitioners. It transcends the boundaries of a conventional documentary by incorporating the very essence of magick into its narrative. By immersing ourselves in this series, we become part of a powerful evocation, contributing to the revival and evolution of magick. In the current socio-political climate, where shameless liars, religious extremists, and literal fascists are gaining power worldwide, "Magick Show" takes on a significant role. These individuals manipulate reality through elevated tactics, and their influence is pervasive. Magick, in its true essence, becomes our last best hope to combat the madness that has infected our lives. By embracing magick, we reclaim the power to shape our own reality and navigate through these challenging times.

Amazingly, it's Tuesday again!!! That can mean many things to too many people, but to you it means that it's TUESDAY TRIVIA NIGHT W/ MR. KING!! Get here by 7pm to secure a seat. The "game" starts at 7:30pm and never ends. #Chicago #ibwlodge1 #chicagobeer #illinoiscraftbeer #drinklocal #norwoodpark #enjoywithpeopleyoutrust #trivia #tuesdaytrivianights #trustlager #mrking
