A collaboration beer with world class brewer and Advanced Cicerone, Taylor Donner. A black kolsch brewed with hibiscus flowers, Barbe Rouge and Wakatu hops. A pitch black body topped by a persistent tan head. The aroma is a subtle mix of dark chocolate, black currant and underneath it all, tangy hibiscus. The flavor brings it all together, with a light roastiness that is complimented by mid-pallate flavors of mulberry and cacao. The hibiscus and lime flavors steer the overall taste in a distinctly more tangy direction, and brings a balancing lightness to the dark.

Cosmic Spaghetti pours a pale gold with a light sheen in the body, and topped by a pure pearl white head that leaves behind solid lacing as the beer recedes in the glass. The aroma is an elegant mix of floral and herbal notes, with a bit of jasmine and lemon verbena showing up prominently. The bitterness is firm and bracing, and is supported by a light honey note from the malt. Dry and effervescent.

A robust porter that is brewed with Cascade, Nugget and Warrior hops to give a firm, old school American hop profile to a strong chocolatey malt forward ale. Black body with a soft and sustaining tan head, that delivers aromas of dark chocolate, coffee, marzipan and baked brown bread.

The second brew in our series of Single Malt and Single Hop (SMaSH) beers, we paired a Light Munich malt from award-winning Root Shoot Malt with a New Zealand hops called Superdelic. Masterhand pours with an off-white head atop a clear golden body. The aroma is a unique mix of lime, honey, Asian pear, and grassy hop notes. The beer is fruity, but dry, and carries flavors of citron (like a mix of lemon, lime and yuzu), passion fruit, and geraniol (floral and tropical). Behind the hop veil is a small but supporting malt flavor that could best be described as ‘doughy’ or ‘cracker-like’.

For those in the know, the Tom & Jerry cocktail at Miller's Pub is a warm, inviting tradition for the downtown Chicago crowd. Lights are up, snow is (sometimes) falling, and Miller's Pub is serving their famous hot cocktail. As our neighbors and friends, we made a beer that takes that cocktail as its inspiration. This dark ale is packed with flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg and Caribbean rum barrel. The malt base has oatmeal and roasted barley to create a soft-bodied, smooth finish. The goal here was to make a festive, warming, and immensely drinkable holiday ale!

Kernel Krush is a collaboration beer between Sketchbook Brewing Co (Skokie, IL) and Industry Ales. It features a new hop varietal called Krush, showing off notes of sweet fruit, citrus, berry, and woody aromatics. This collaboration also features regenerative malt from Root Shoot Malting. Regenerative farming practices work to increase and maintain soil health, retain and reuse water, bio-sequester carbon, and promote biodiversity.

A copper-hued Ordinary Bitter brewed with 100% UK Fuggle hops in the kettle and a small whirlpool addition of Vista hops. The aroma is a fine balance of English Pale malt and Crystal malt's bready, doughy sweetness and the grassy earthiness from Fuggle. This is a sessionable pub ale that is meant for having a few rounds.

Brewed with Maris Otter, Munich and Aromatic malts, hopped with US Cluster hops, and spiced with typical baking spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove, allspice, and black pepper). The beer pours a deep amber color with orange highlights and an off-white cream head. The aroma is classic; warm baking spices, dominated by cinnamon, ginger and allspice. Underneath it all is a robust malty aroma with notes of brown sugar, pumpkin custard, and a lingering warmth provided by the elevated alcohol content.

Loveland IPA is a West Coast Style IPA that touches the upper end of the style's alcohol spectrum. Packed with over 60lbs of hops, we used classic varieties like Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, and Citra, with the addition of Mosaic and McKenzie hops to give it a point of difference and bump up the fruit. Look for notes of pine, melon, citrus, and ripe tropical fruit. Thanks to our friends at Root Shoot Malting who traveled out to Chicago from Loveland, Colorado to make this beer with us!

Veneficium, named after a featured track on Xiu Xiu’s 13” Frank Beltrame Italian Stiletto with Bison Horn Grips, was designed in collaboration with Jamie Stewart. A strong red ale brewed with wild foraged Heather flowers from Scotland, this beer packs a hearty punch and hefty bitterness in the finish. Predominantly malty, but with some unique floral notes derived from the 10lbs of heather flowers the wort was passed through on the way to the fermenter. The aroma opens up with a powerful bouquet of heather flowers, like lavender-infused wildflower honey and earthy moss. The flavor is malt forward, with a firm supporting bitterness from the hops. As the beer warms up, the alcohol opens up a bit more and lends a fruitiness to the finish.

Brewed as an homage to our storefront neighbor Central Camera, a 120-plus year old establishment that is a 3rd generation family-run business. Out of Focus IPA is simple in nature, but delivers on what many so enjoy about this style: all the hoppy, juicy flavor with none of the bitterness. For our version, we use Citra, Sabro and HBC 472 hops to punch up the flavors of coconut, strawberry, ripe melon and pineapple. The malt is a mix of pale, pilsner, oats, wheat and dextrin malt.

Our seltzer base. Good on its own, even better in the hands of our resident mixologists. Gluten-free, sugar-free, and additive-free. Variations include: Porch Party (Blue Raspberry), Jolly Juice (Strawberry, Lemon, Rosemary), and Ginger Spice (Ginger & Yuzu)

This critically acclaimed tropical IPA bursts with mango and peach flavor with a backdrop of hops. Perfect for getting into a sunshine state of mind.

Modern hard cider. Dry, crisp, and tart, like a glass of Granny Smith.
