Chicago Beer Pass is your ticket to the craft beer events happening in and around Chicago. Hosts Brad Chmielewski & Nik White do their best to keep you informed about what’s happened and is happening in the Chicago craft beer scene.
Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago. On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White open a beer that I don’t think you’d really see either of them drinking, the Pumpkin Spice Latte from Pipeworks Brewing. This beer is an oat ale with pumpkin puree, coffee, milk sugar, vanilla, and pumpkin spices. It was surprisingly good and not overly sweet, but yeah, if you like PSLs, this is a beer for you. As the guys slide into fall, Nik shares his Kolosh adventure he recently went on, and Brad talks about his trip to the SOX game and Marz Community Brewing. Having issues listening to the audio?

Chicago Beer Pass: Fall into Oktoberfest
Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago. On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White are getting into the Oktoberfest beers! Honestly, it still feels relatively early to bust out the steins since it’s still 80 degrees in Chicago, but the guys do what they need to do. Kicking off the season, they open a couple cans of Oktoberfest from Bubblehouse Brewing. Brad recently stopped there and couldn’t resist picking up these cans. Brad and Nik also decided to open a can of Deep Woods from Revolution to pair with the malty Oktoberfest. Prost! Having issues listening to the audio?

Chicago Beer Pass: So Common
Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago. On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White open cans of a new beer from Old Irving, their Kentucky Common called Long Forgotten. Old Irving says this is one of only two or three beer styles considered indigenous to the United States, which was an unknown fact to the guys. As the guys crush a couple of these cans, they talk about a few stops they have made and go over the latest Goose Island Bourbon County Stouts hitting the market in a few months.
