IPA kegs in Chicago?

Pipeworks has made kegs available from time to time, but it’s been awhile since I’ve seen them advertise that. Doesn’t hurt to ask though.

 

Not sure what size keg you’re looking for but I highly recommend une annee for kegs. They do 30L (approx 8 gallons) one way kegs and have been offering the Hubbard’s cave ipas more frequently lately. Price was under $200 I think

I’ve heard of people getting son of juice kegs as well for home

 

Rev does kegs.

 

I’d forgotten this! Just checked their list and saw Straight Jacket at $200 - a steal in my opinion!

 

You can order kegs from The Open Bottle, outside of their list of popular kegs you can request quite a bit. https://theopenbottle.com/kegs-requests/

 

I believe that you can get kegs at Begyle as well.

 

These places don’t sell direct but are making probably the best IPAs in Chicago:

You can get Pipeworks from Beer Temple but it’s pricey. $210 for a sixth barrel of Ninja V Unicorn. Marz doesn’t sell direct but they will sell them to any liquor store - just email or call. They are even more expensive - $350 for quarter barrel. Noon Whistle doesn’t sell direct but can be ordered via liquor stores.

Also,

I assume you’re sick of Lagunitas. Worth noting that in addition to their core beers, you can request a special batch and if/when it’s put into their weekly brewing rotation, they’ll reserve it for you. They do mostly quarter barrels. By far the most cost effective.

Begyle also has a keg of the month club, if you like their beers.

 

WOAH ZOMBIE THREAD BACK FROM THE DEAD

 

Revs northeast hero for $95 a 1/6 barrel is a steal imo

 

Thanks for the heads up. I briefly scanned the keg list and thought it was North*west* Hero. I’ll have to try it.

 

I'm Dave with Riverlands brewing out in St. Charles. We have only been open about 6 weeks but are starting to figure where we are at with our beer production. We just started distributing in the last week or so and have been open to selling direct to consumers. We do mostly NEIPAs, so if that is your taste definitely reach out!
