Chicago Beer Pass

Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago. On this weeks episode, Brad Chmielewski & Nik White  are once again drinking some Off Color beers on the show. Brad picked up a four pack of Aqua Predator when he was at Off Color for the Eeek release and couldn’t resist diving into them right away. This past weekend Nik was out of town drinking in Minnesota so the guys chat a little about what’s been happening just a few hours away from Chicago. The weather is getting pretty chilly out there so there is no reason you shouldn’t be inside staying warm and knocking back a few beers. Although it’s Halloween and it’s likley most people have plans, there are a couple events worth checking out. On Saturday at Four Moon Tavern is a Pig Roast and Off Color Tap Takeover. In the suburbs at the Fifth Third Bank Ballpark is Halloween WitchCRAFT Beer Fest. Don’t be afraid to dress up for these events! Cheers & thanks for listen to Chicago Beer Pass!
