New Belgium Wood Cellar Reserve Night

Join us for a night of wood-aged sour ales with New Belgium Brewing! We’re one of the first places in IL to tap their collaboration with The Rare Barrel Err On The Side of Awesome with 3 other lovely wood-aged sour beers on draft! PLUS order a NBB beer on draft, get a glass, and our awesome NBB rep Mark will etch your name on it for free! 🍻

☆★☆ GLASS SKETCHING (3 to 5PM) ☆★☆
Mark from New Belgium will be here from 3 to 5pm with their glass etching machine. Order a pour of any New Belgium beer on draft, get a glass, and ask Mark to sketch your name on it for free! (while supplies last)

☆★☆ ON DRAFT ☆★☆
• ERR ON THE SIDE OF AWESOME •
“This collaboration with our long-time friends and world-class sour producers, The Rare Barrel, is full of complex and risky adventure. We took a portion of our dark sour, Oscar, blended it with kriek lambic, matured it in our original 17 wine barrels that began our sour program, then blended in our golden sour, Felix.”

• LA FOLIE •
“La Folie, French for “the folly,” is a beer steeped in New Belgium brewing tradition. This wood-aged, sour brown spends one to three years in big oak barrels known as foeders. And when the beer finally hits the glass, La Folie is sharp and sour, full of green apple, cherry, and plum-skin notes. Pouring a deep mahogany, the mouthfeel will get you puckering while the smooth finish will get you smiling. Not a beer for the timid, La Folie is a sour delight that will turn your tongue on its head."

• FELIX AGED IN APPLE WHISKEY BARRELS •
“Felix Aged in Apple Whiskey Barrels is a single-foeder golden sour ale aged in apple-flavored whiskey barrels from Leopold Bros. Distillery.”

• OSCAR AGED IN BLACKBERRY WHISKEY BARRELS •
“Oscar Aged in Blackberry Whiskey Barrels is a dark sour ale aged in blackberry-flavored whiskey barrels.”
