Long time, no talk. How you holding up? How's this karmic enema treating you and yours?

Go ahead and answer out loud, we can hear you. We can hear everything, actually.

Despite the world stopping in its collective "Oh No!" moment, some strains of collective trance prattle on. One narrative we're happy to promote is the one where IBW is producing and distributing delicious beer to help you:

Cope with stress
Cope with room mates
Connect with room mates
Connect with stress and work through it
Forget
Remember
Discover those little fleeting moments of transcendent Joy that come only in solitude and with music
Drank

In service of maintaining this particular illusion, we proudly announce this year's release of cult favorite ASTRONAUT EYE SCREAM!

Produced with Galaxy, Mosaic, Citra & Mandarina Bavarian hops as well as some yummy lactose sugar to boost sweetness and body (it's balanced!), Astronaut Eye Scream will keep you giddy and buoyant no matter how fierce our gravity gets. It's in stores this week.

Also available in Chicago, Detroit and Ohio is a fun little experiment we made with our friends at City Winery. Pleaidian Play Date is a piquette-inspired spritzer made with Washington State Cabernet pomace and hibiscus to land at a delicious 6% ABV as the perfect answer for sweaty, hot summer nights under the stars.

Pleaidian Play Date is also, as luck would have it, Gluten Free. So all you folks who fear the Glutens, dig in! Pleaidian Play Date was packaged in lovely little 8oz sleek cans that are perfect for sticking into totes, coolers, or pockets depending on your outing and your kink. Don't know what the hell a piquette is? Follow this here link.

You can acquire either of these fine offerings - as well as our other treats like Orange Sunshine, Trust and Brainwash - at all the best bottle shops & liquor stores across this fair land.

We hope you all are doing what you can to enjoy the summer in this strange year of our lord 2020. Please just wear the damn mask.
