Well, we have the good fortune of having access to some very cool, sometimes rare, usually seasonal and always limited specialty brews from the various breweries we work with from throughout the country. There are a number of our customers - you guys - that wait for weeks or months to try a Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout, Or a Bells Hopslam. Often times, these kegs run dry in a very short period of time. Sooo, to be fair, we set up a time in advance - in the case of the Tribes - 4PM - so that all the beer fans have ample time to prepare for the tapping. After all, its a big deal to be able to get a chance to try some of these brews. One has to be prepared to leave work early, or go in late (depending on your job!). They need to be prepared to have their camera phone at the ready to snap a shot of whatever elusive nectar they are finding themselves about to enjoy, so that they may tease or impress their friends!
The Tribes in Mokena taps these beers on Wednesdays at 4PM, while the new Tinley Tribes taps them on Thursdays at 4PM.
This months specialties include Founders Backwoods Bastard and here is the brewery description:
"Expect lovely, warm smells of single malt scotch, oaky bourbon barrels, smoke, sweet caramel and roasted malts, a bit of earthy spice, and a scintilla of dark fruit. It’s a kick-back sipper made to excite the palate."
Additionally, Bells Hopslam will make an appearance, as will Goose Island Bourbon County Stout & Night Stalker and a whole buncha Stone specialties!
