Howdy!

I hope you all survived your Thanksgiving benders in one piece. Now that you've had a few days to catch your breath, I wanted to plug you into some events we have coming up. Read on...

TONIGHT, we're tapping SECRET SPICE SOCIETY at the Lodge. This is a Gose with Fernet spices that we made in collaboration with Lake Effect Brewing. This delightful little monster has notes of citrus and anise and a nice tart finish. Get it while you can.

To celebrate our collaboration, Clint from Lake Effect will be at IBW Lodge #1 tonight around 6:30 to have a couple two-three pops. Come knock glasses with him and wish him well on his new brew space that should be open soon on Belmont Ave.

Thursday, December 1, we've got the 2nd installment of NIGHT BEAMS: AN EVENING OF MODULAR SYNTH JAMS. The last one we had in September was a blast, this one should prove to be just as grand!

This Sunday we have a Holiday Shopping Pop-Up event from 2pm - 6pm. Stop by both IBW Lodge #1 and WineStyles for some unique, Chicago-borne gifts for your friends and enemies. Beer and Wine specials to help your shopping go smoothishly.

Remember that WAR ON XMAS! box sets are back and ready to head into your happy homes. If you don't know already, for $60 you get a War on Xmas! 4-pack, War on Xmas! t-shirt, either 2x IBW tulip glasses or 1x IBW stein, some stickers and all boxed up in this lovely little hand-stamped IBW gift box.

New this year, we've also got some other gift options as well including a Shirt, Glass & Beer Can special and, if you need it shipped, just a Shirt & Glass Special.

You can get these off of our hyper-janky WEB STORE or you can come by the Lodge and pick one up anytime, even at the Holiday Pop-Up Shopping this Sunday!
