Welcome to HomeBrewRockStars episode #52 and where we’re
talking Beer Brewed in CHI-Town, good ole Chicago, the windy city
on the big lake, and one of, if not the most booming major craft
brewing metropolitans in the world, definitely in the US. Chicago
now ranks #1 in the country for craft breweries and it's not
slowing down anytime soon. The crew, along with
our Chicago beer expert,
Mr. Aaron Sleger of Artele & Co.
dive into what's under construction and what's trending big in the
Midwest's capital city.
We also do some beer tastings, of course, from a few Chicago area breweries such as Hubbard's Cave, Fresh One Hop (Mosaic) IPA, Pollyanna Pils (German Style Pilsner), Buffalo Creek Brewing's Xerxes Chocolate Bacon Stout and MARZ Chela Negra, a black Mexican lager with awesome black on black artwork (see pic below).
We also listen to some samples of music from Larry Carlton/Robben Ford, Live in Tokyo, featuring jazz, blues, rock, and funk from two of the most prolific session guitarists in history. The two have played with a who's who list of celebrity musicians, bands and other projects.
Special thanks to Pig Minds Brewing and Artele & Co. for their extreme support. Stay tuned for a special "Prefest review" of the upcoming 2019 Screw City Beer Festival where the HomeBrewrockStars will be featuring the Home Brew Lounge, hundreds of free moustaches and interviews from the festival brewers. Rock On! and #drinkitup
