PIER PRESSURE 🌊🍺
The latest release in our rotating West Coast Pilsner series is here.
Loaded with Motueka CGX hops for bright tropical character, layered aromatics, and a touch of resinous depth. Firm bitterness meets a crisp, structured finish, landing somewhere between a West Coast IPA and a classic pilsner.
Hop-forward. Clean. Ridiculously drinkable.
Available now in the taproom and in to-go packs while it lasts.
Visiting ? Pair it with our spicy Vada Pav Sliders
In west town? Pair it with our beer steamed mussels

We’re proud to be the craft brewery pouring at this year’s Do Division Street Fest. 🍻

To celebrate, we teamed up with our friends at the West Town Chamber to brew a beer worthy of the neighborhood.

Introducing our festival collab: an XPA featuring Citra and BRU-1 🌿🍊

Bright, refreshing, and loaded with citrus and tropical character, it’s built for sunny days, good music, and wandering Division Street with a beer in hand.

Find us at Do Division all weekend long. See you out there.

Say Ahoj! to Žatec, our Czech style amber lager🍺
This malt‑forward, amber lager has notes of toasted bread, light caramel, and subtle sweetness, countered by classic Saaz spice, earthiness, and a crisp finish.

⬇️Food Pairings⬇️
-If you’re in West Town, stop in and pair Žatec with our warm soft pretzel served with smoked cheddar pub cheese & honey mustard 🥨
-Up in Ravenswood? Swing over to and pair a pint of this with the Potted Smoked Short rib served with brioche, membrillo, aged brick cheese, and pickled mustard seeds 🍽️
See you this weekend!

Brand New Pier Pressure . 🌊🍺

Our rotating West Coast Pils series returns featuring Motueka CGX — bringing bright lime zest, layered citrus, and that unmistakable New Zealand hop character.

Crisp, snappy, and loaded with hop expression while staying endlessly drinkable.

Exactly how we want a West Coast Pils to drink.

On draft and in cans at both Chicago spots right now. Hitting Michigan, Florida, and maybe a couple more states!
