Howdy!

Chicago's chrome-domed taste-maker, Josh Noel, over there at that hippie-run liberal hack-rag the Chicago Tribune said some very nice things about this year's WAR ON XMAS white peanut-brittle stout and put us in with some wonderful company in this article released today: Beery Christmas and Hoppy New Year: 10 festive beers to stuff in your holiday stocking.

Click the link and read all about it. And then hop on over to IBW Lodge #1 (or your favorite local bottle shop) and grab yourself a 4-pack or 3 and get to making your spirits bright.

Or, better yet, why don't you get over here and buy a WAR ON XMAS box set?

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, a War on Xmas button and it's 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!
