Latest Pipeworks Releases and Updates

I think, though, that any sort of taproom they put in will be like Half Acre's v1.0 set up -- just so that people aren't expecting like Half Acre's current taproom.

 

been doing some trades recently and killing beer not from chicago. i haven't had a pipeworks beer in a while. forgive me.

 

It will be in the front of their current location. The door to the taproom will be on the actual corner of Wabansia and Western. Brewing is in back of house.

 

I keep seeing people mention "taproom". I don't think there has been any validation of this. For sure they will have the bottle shop, but have they mentioned it being a taproom (even one like Half Acre's v1.0)? With the small batches they produce, they do not keg much. Most is bottled with a few kegs making it out to local bars. Maybe as they grow and increase production, but I wouldn't expect it at first. Who knows though. I have no validity for anything I'm saying...

 

When I stopped in to pick up my FwB loot, Gerrit said that they would have a number of taps for growler fills (including 32oz. growlers!).

 

Now we have validation and I am happy as a bug in a rug. Thanks!

 

Snug as a bug in a rug? Happy as pig in shit? Shit on your rug?

 

Happy as a tap and a fap?

 

More awesome recognition and press for Pipeworks!

The building is now cloaked entirely in black (and looks awesome). Pretty unassuming still, though.

So the word is more of a tap room with growlers and bottle sales, and less of a taproom with draft pours for on-site consumption? I'm happy either way, just seeing if the conjecture-consensus is settling on the former.

 

This would be great cant wait!

 

That would be my assumption. Its a completely separate license for onsite consumption and I don't think they are at that point yet.

 

Got a very cool tour today from beejay of there little slice of heaven. He pulled us some raspberry abduction (gonna be bad ass) and some unicorn revenge (holy hell best dipa I have had) he also confirmed that the current spot will be bottle sale and growler, not a tap room

 

Via their Twitter account today.......
"Yesterday we bottled Unicorns Revenge and today, we do the Chipotle Smoked Porter"!!!!

Cant wait for the chiptole!!

 

Both are out today! Hoping for Cherry Abduction next week.

 

THIS!

 

Is there a Cherry Abduction? I thought it was Raspberry Truffle Abduction... Either way I am game. Very game.

 

oh right... its Raspberry i was so excited by the idea of getting it soon i didnt even catch that

 

as mentioned before, we have a blue lady glass for every single bottle of Blue Lady Batch #31, so if you wrote an e-mail in to us and made a claim, we have a glass or glasses for you. They'll be here for pickup (as others have said txt 847-910-9493 for fastest arrangements) or we'll mail them out just as soon as things stop falling apart over here... you know... leaky roofs, broken glycol, electrical disasters, broken trucks... that sort of thing .

FwB rewards or Blue Lady claims can be picked up any M-F from 7am - 5/6pm but you should give us a heads up to double check. Sometimes we can be here on the weekend but it's seldom.

 

we're about 200-300 private messages on here and fb behind, and probably 1000 e-mails behind as well... but it'll be worth it and we'll eventually read and reply to them all.
