Double Daisy Out In the World

For those who've been asking:

We wound up sending only a small amount of the Double Daisy Cutter Pale Ale out into the world. The bars that received a 1/6th bbl are: Hopleaf, Map Room, Bad Apple, Sheffield's, Whole Foods on Kingsbury & one other place TBD.

When they tap them is completely up to them, so you'll have to check with these fine drinking establishments.

Cheers,

CCBW Closing Party

Some Half Acre friend's, Jessie & Eric Stevens, shot the party we threw to close down CCBW. We at Half Acre had a great time inviting you folks into our brewery to mix it up.

We will do this again. You have our word.

Thank You

Thanks to all those who came out to the events, who came out and grabbed the Double Daisy, who threw down with us at our brewery and support us all year long.

Without your faithful intake, we wouldn't exist.

OK OK, more tickets

Here's the deal: We've been beaten into submission, won over with charm...... and coincidentally we rented out more of our building, so our brewery literally just got bigger. The result, we are selling 50 more tickets to Saturday's party. Still $25 each, which includes all food & beer.

We will sell them only today at the store... We're open from 12-8pm. If for some reason they don't sell today, they won't be available tomorrow. No tickets available at the door.

We will not reserve them and no phone orders.

Did we mention there's going to be a clown?

With Love,

Doble Cortador

The time is now.

As Chicago Craft Beer Week rumbles along, today we release the Double Daisy Cutter Pale Ale / Doble Cortador. You'll find the same amiable attributes of our friend, Daisy Cutter Pale Ale, but with more knock-you-down authority to take command of your blood alcohol level & state of mind. 8.5%abv & a reckless amount of pacific northwestern hops.

We always hope the best for our beers as we see them from grain to glass, and in this case, we feel we touched down directly in the wheelhouse. We're glad to get this beer out during a great week for craft beer.

This beer was brewed in Limited quantity. Where it will land is still up in the air. One thing for sure, it won't be around long. We'll have it for sale at our store when it opens today (starting right now) for $9.99 per bottle(max 5 per person). We'll be filling growlers for at least a little while, but not all that long -- we'll try to last through the night, depending on how many folks show up. Growler fills will be $15(max 1 per person).

Cheers,

Double Daisy Cutter Pale Ale / Doble Cortador

In honor of Chicago Craft Beer week and the fact that we wanted to brew this beer, we're popping out the Double Daisy Cutter Pale Ale / Doble Cortador. It was an experiment we hope will yield some tasty results. We're looking at a beefed up ABV and enough hops to recede your gums.

This beer will be available on draft and in 22's. We will be sending it out to the world in small quantities.

Soon, friends, soon...

Half Acre Beer Co

Chicago, IL

Half Acre is hosting the Chicago Craft Beer Week closing party at our brewery on May 22nd. Tickets go on sale today at the brewery (4257 N. Lincoln) at 12:00 for $25 each -- first come, first serve, no tickets will be reserved. Only 200 tickets available. The party is from 6:30 - 9:30.

We're still hashing out the details on everything so we don't yet have the total beer list or all the food folks that are coming out. Have faith that no one will go home thirsty or hungry, and that you will get the chance to drink plenty of beer from local brewers and beyond.

We will have DJ Majoy Taylor

Tricky The Clown

It should be rowdy.

Invasion @ Small Bar Logan

Here are some pics from the get together at Small Bar in Logan. Still bummed I didn't get to try the fish tacos. I'm told they were actually Carp. And I love Carp.
