🍻 It's Mug Club Wednesday, friends! And with it comes a new beer release... 🍻⠀
⠀
Johnny Juice - Apple Ale, 6.7% ABV⠀
⠀
Our Apple Ale is essentially a beer/cider hybrid. It's super smooth and fresh, with just a touch of tartness. It's an easy drinker for sure, but don't let it fool you – especially at 6.7% ABV.⠀
⠀
Our Creative Director Shawn mixes it with our Roasted Beet Kölsch to create what some call an abomination, but what others call amazing. That someone is also Shawn.⠀
⠀
ABV: 6.7%⠀
IBU: 9⠀
SRM: 14⠀
⠀
Mug Club members get a taster pour + an extra 4 oz. with a full pour purchase today so come on by! Want to join our Mug Club? It's $40 annually, and comes with a ton of perks. Sign up at our taproom or online! Details: twistedhippo.com/whats-up ⠀
⠀
SUGGESTED PAIRINGS:⠀
Smash Burger, Mac & Cheese, Spicy Chicken Sandwich⠀
⠀
RECOMMENDED FOR FANS OF:⠀
Fruit beer lovers, cider drinkers

We're conflicted – on the one hand we're sad to see our easy-drinking Honey Cream Ale Dragon's Keeper go. On the other hand, it benefits our neighborhood CPS school Bateman Elementary, so we want it to get outta here!⠀
⠀
Here's the important part: we're under one keg of this delicious #Collaboraction beer, so get in while the getting is good. Proceeds of each full pour and to-go crowler benefits the school!⠀
⠀
We're open until 8pm today for President's Day, and open the rest of the week at 12pm. It won't last long, so spread the word, folks.

While we're usually closed on Mondays now with our new Winter hours, we do make special exceptions for holidays!⠀
⠀
As such, we'll be open this coming Monday February 17th on President's Day from 12pm to 8pm. Looking for a place for a lunch or dinner date? Dropping off the kiddos next door so they can pretend to be ninjas? Please make note of our special hours, and stop on by! We'd love to hang – plus we're pretty darned kid friendly! 👍🏼⠀
⠀
Bonus: We'll be hosting a fundraiser for local school Cleveland Elementary from 12 to 2pm alongside our neighbors Ultimate Ninjas! 🙌

Coming to you on February 13, A Galentine's Day Bazaar!
.
Filled with artists & makers from the Chicago community, our feminist Bazaar is sure to tickle your fancy. Hosted at Twisted Hippo, a women-owned brewery in the Irving Park/Albany Park/Ravenswood neighborhood, we will be slinging drinks, art, music, and good times.
.
We wholeheartedly agree with the @twistedhippo when they say: "We believe good conversation and better company creates positive change, and we’re happy to share a space where we can all be our own versions of strange together!" So grab your friends to celebrate Galentine's Day and be your own version of strange with us on February 13!

Van Damme Delicious - Belgian Golden Strong⠀
⠀
Strong Belgian phenolics and a slight sweetness give way to a dry finish. Coming in at 9.5% ABV, this brew is sneakily one of the highest gravity beers we have brewed so far (though you wouldn't know from how smooth is goes down). The name is, of course, a play on Jean Claude Van Damme, the famous* Belgian action star... who is apparently strong.

This release is also one or two collaborations we did with the folks at Beerhead for its Collab AF project! The second is last week’s release Angry Duchess. ⠀
ABV: 9.5%⠀
IBU: 27⠀
SRM: 5⠀
⠀
SUGGESTED PAIRINGS:⠀
Cheese Curds, Salad, Spicy Fried Chicken Sando⠀
⠀
RECOMMENDED FOR FANS OF:⠀
JCVD, Doing the splits, Sneakily high-gravity beers, Sweet yet dry beers⠀

Come celebrate Super Bowl SUNDAY at Twisted Hippo!

Come celebrate Super Bowl SUNDAY at Twisted Hippo! Or Superb Owls — you do you.
We’ll have the game on alongside two deliciously decadent specials — loaded tater tots topped with chili, cheese, and other fixins, and spicy chili (with both meat and veggie options). They’ll stick to your ribs in the best possible way! And, of course, never sleep on our tasty Hippo Wings... Pair it all with our Super Bowl special beer Lady Ella our perfectly hoppy SMaSH beer. Just so ya know, we’re calling Lady NF-Ella on Sunday only... 😂

It's totally time to talk about the Twisted Hippo

It's totally time to talk about the Twisted Hippo Tap Takeover at Tata's Tacos taking place this Friday 1/31 from 3pm - 7pm, but truth be told we also wanted to use all of those tantalizing Ts.
Did somebody say TGIF happy hour thanks to Tata’s new draft setup with bonus tacos? Yes, we just did. See you there tomorrow, friends!

🍻 It's our very first Mug Club Wednesday, folks

Our newest Beer of the Week is Punch Crunch our fruit punch Saison. This tasty saison is a variation on Cabana Fan, and features a veritable fruit bowl (pineapple, apricot, passionfruit, and guava) of fun.⠀
⠀
Reminiscent of Tropical Hawaiian Punch, this fruity mix might inspire you to make new childhood memories. The addition of pink and black peppercorns – along with cardamom – add a subtle, spicy kick that accentuates the sweetness of the fruit combo deliciously.⠀
⠀
As the current special, you get $1 off of full pours, and $1.50 off on to-go 32 oz. Crowlers.

We are loving our new souvenir glasses we had made just for YOU!

Well, made specifically for our new mug club members, those who take our brewery tours, and folks who simply want to buy one! 😉
And if it looks this good empty, think of what it looks like filled with delicious Twisted Hippo beer. 😎
Interested in our Mug Club? Our introductory pricing of $35 ends This Friday 1/31. Stop by our taproom to sign up – we open at noon Tuesday.

We have the perfect way to warm up during this stretch of cold, wet weather: our current lineup of tasty dark beers!⠀
⠀
Our anniversary release of our bourbon barrel-aged Scotch Ale Trace Amigos is big and super delicious coming in at 11% ABV (aged in Buffalo Trace barrels). Go for a 5 oz. pour at the taproom, or grab some 12 oz. bottles to go!⠀
⠀
Alongside Trace, try the Scotch Ale Without a Trace for comparison. It's sweet and malty with strong caramel notes. 8.9% ABV⠀
⠀
And if you're lucky we may have a pour or two left of You Otter Know By Now our Scotch Ale aged in Maplewood Oaty Otter barrels. 9.1% ABV⠀
⠀
Of course, our Banner Beer Black Umbrella is always the right choice, or if you want something a little more robust try our current Beer of the Week Chubby Monk our Belgian Stout – we could go on and on! Easier to just try them yourself... 😎
