Imperial Stout and Barley Wine!
1/30
In case you haven't been in Palatine in awhile, we put our unbelievably delicious Imperial Stout on tap last week. Big(9.5«v), bold and full of rich coffee and dark chocolate flavors, this beer will fight off winters chill with ease! There is a very limited supply so get some while it lasts. We will be bringing one half barrel to Downers Grove and West Dundee, so stop in there later in the week if you can't make it to Palatine.
The Barley Wine is still pouring in Palatine also. Big, caramely, fruity and hoppy, it's about as good as it gets!
See you soon!
Cheers,
Ryan

Tripel Threat
1-26
It's been business as usual in the Grove, which means busy, busy, busy. We just finished brewing our Belgian Tripel, which oddly enough, was a three-day process. On Tuesday, we brewed a regular batch of 1AM and side-streamed one barrel of the wort to propagate our Belgian Trappist-style yeast. The yeast was delivered fresh that morning from our supplier's lab in Colorado, but we wanted to give it a chance to grow and get fully active in preparation for the big job ahead of it. Wednesday we brewed the high-gravity, all-malt wort and let the yeast have at it, and finally, today we added 120 lbs. of Belgian candi sugar to the actively fermenting beer to boost the brew's strength just a little more. We'll keep a close eye on the fermentation progress and hope to release the beer in 15-20 days. A release party is in the planning stages, so keep checking in for the actual date. Cheers!

Black IPA
1/6/12
Palatine just tapped the Nitro Black IPA! We brought a couple of kegs over from Downers. It's delicious, dark, creamy, hoppy, roasty.....all things good in the world! Get it while it lasts. Our American Barley Wine is on tap at all three locations. Dundee has the cult favorite Scottish Ale on tap too. Great time to be a beer drinker in the Burbs! Enjoy!
Cheers,

The Imperial Stout has been brewed and is fermenting away here in Palatine. Look for it to be on tap towards the end of January. Downers Grove tapped the Black IPA yesterday. Dark, hoppy and delicious! If those words sound good to you, get in there and drink some! Look for a few kegs to make their way to Palatine and Dundee by next week. The Scottish Ale should be on tap tomorrow in West Dundee. Great, easy drinking malty beer.
Have a great New Year!

Holiday Beers
12/7/11
Just in time for Christmas, Palatine will be tapping our Barleywine. It should be on the week of Christmas....a little gift for all of us! There will be a very limited supply of this delicious beer in all locations. Downers Grove is brewing up a Black IPA for the holidays, and West Dundee should have everyone's favorite Scottish Ale on in time for Christmas festivities. We will try to spread the love and bring some Black IPA to Dundee and Palatine as well. I'll keep you posted.
Cheers,
Ryan

Stout on at the Grove
8-12
Transferred and tapped the Irish Dry Stout in Downers Grove today. We normally only produce this delightful black gem for St. Patrick's Day, but we like it so much that we decided that we couldn't wait until March to have some more. It's light in body and alcohol, but full of rich roasty flavor. It's also served on nitrogen dispense for that smooth creaminess you've come to expect from our stouts. It will also be on tap in Palatine, probably in a couple of weeks. Cheers!

BUSY!!!!!

I know I keep saying it, but man are we busy!!! For all the Hefe lovers out there, the last batch for the year went on tap in Palatine on Friday. Word of warning....it's delicious! get it while it lasts! We will be bringing some to Dundee, but in very limited quantities so make sure you come in and enjoy some. I am brewing up one of my favorites, the German Doppelbock on Friday. Look for that around the first week of September. Lot's of great beers coming up. Be sure to check back ofter and see what's happening!

Ryan

Attention Hop Heads, the Black IPA is back on tap in Palatine! Big and hoppy with a firm bitterness and smooth malt backbone...it's delicious! It's supposed to be a scorcher this weekend, and what better way to cool off than with a cold pint of Emmett's Saison. Should be on tap tomorrow afternoon.
Cheers,

Busy week at the Grove
7-14-11
The power was out all day Monday here in Downers Grove, but we didn't let that stop us from cranking out a whole bunch of good beer this week. After a morning of resetting switches and clocks on Tuesday, we brewed up an Irish Dry Stout. The Roasted Barley from England gives this beer its dark color and great flavor, and makes it one of our favorites. We'll update its progress, but it should be ready in about two weeks. We spent the rest of the week cleaning cellar tanks and transferring fresh batches of Munich Light, McCarthy Red, and Hefeweizen. The Hefe will be ready on Friday, just in time to beat the weekend heat. Enjoy!
