    If you're in or near the Bucktown neighborhood Friday the 13th, stop in at OhNo!Doom starting at 6pm. For the second time this year we'll be debuting three new and entirely different beers to sample on this night.
    Curated by Joey Potts, It's entitled A Walk Through the Dark (Art Works of the Macabre, Strange, and Bizarre), and will feature work from Ego, Ben Lyon, Steven Fiche, Scarecrowoven, Stephanie Brown, Scott Shellhamer, and Jonathan Bergeron. This is a not-to-be-missed showing of extremely talented artists. DJ Paisley Babylon will also be in attendance to set the pace.
    We'll be presenting our Mini Series which will consist of our "small" beers resulting from past parti-gyle brew days of this year.

    In January, we brewed an English Barleywine. But what you'll be able to sample from that day is our Spring Barleywine. This beer, although from the second running's of the mash, finished at almost 9% abv, and will have gone through a total of three separate dry-hoppings.

    A month later, we brewed a Scotch Ale. Using the third running's, we produced a much smaller beer by comparison of the Spring Barleywine and finished around 5% abv. However, we took a drastically different cold side approach by pitching a Bavarian lager yeast, introducing to everyone our first ever Märzenbier.


    Only days after we brewed the Scotch Ale, we brewed another beast of a brew with an entirely new Imperial Stout recipe. Like the English Barleywine brew day, we used the second running's in order to produce our take on a new style: German Stout. We used only German Noble hops, and fermented the wort with German Kölsch & Alt yeast strains.

    This is going to be awesome in every possible way. I missed out on the last one. Will not repeat that tragedy.

    The last Low Dive tasting at OND was a blast, food trucks, art, and a nice crowd. This one is not to be missed...

    I was hoping to make this since it is right between my work and my house, but I will be out of town. I'll try to hit the next one!

    TTB has informed us that we can't serve our beer tonight at OhNo!Doom. You should still come out and peep all the great new work on display.
