It's a big weekend for your troubled friends at ILLUMINATED BREW WORKS!

We've got our 2 Year Anniversary party today from 3p - 10pm. We'll be drinking beers and high-fiving and howling at whatever's left of the moon all day.

The fan-favorite DUNK TANK is back in full effect giving you ample opportunity to dunk Jason and Molly. We've got a couple other fun carny games as well, upgrades from last year to be sure. Come try your skill, win some tickets and trade them in for priceless space inflatables and other strange and temporarily amusing junk.

The Bumbu Roux food truck will be here serving their wonderful blend of Cajun/Creole and Indonesian faire starting around 5:30pm as well!

Here's a list of some of the pours happening today in addition to our regular menu:

---ECTO-SLUSHY!

---GUAVA WISDOM OF THE STAIRCASE (WINE BARREL AGED SOUR W/ GUAVA)

I'm also very excited to share with you that, YES, WE WILL HAVE ROBOT KARAOKE TONIGHT starting around 8pm.

If you need the Facebook page, here it is. I don't think there's any more information on there than I just gave you, but you never know!

Oh! And, maybe you didn't know already, but we also got ourselves a little 2 Year Anniversary present from Gavin's Gaming Service. We now have on permanent residence the STRANGER THINGS pinball machine and a vintage 720* from back in ye olde 1980's. If you're old enough to remember the '80s then you're likely to remember 720*. it's the one where you skate around a city under a terrible amount of construction while being chased by bees and having god scream at you SKATE OR DIIIIIEEE!! Good times.

Our brewers, the ever-expanding Bucky and the lovely and talented Dave, as well as many of the most beautiful parts of our little space jalopy stocked with beer made it onto the local Fox News affiliate on Thursday. Chicago's Beer Gentleman, Dane Placko ran a piece featuring us, Sketchbook and Hop-District on, you guessed it, drinking during football season. It was fun!
