For those of you Chicago-based craft beer nerds who have yet to hear, Chicago Pipeworks Brewing Co. found themselves a home much earlier this year. Not news, PK. Right you are, self. So what is so extra awesome about Pipeworks new brew house?
It's not even a full block from my apartment.
Having a talented group of craft brewing pros nearby to any domicile should cause endless excitement on its own merits. But Pipeworks has me especially pumped up especially because of its storefront concept. They are shying away from producing beers on a larger scale, even on the scale of citywide distribution (something Half Acre is often criticized for not QUITE achieving), in favor of a very localized business model.
As they noted in the Chicago Tribune, their brew house will feature an ever-changing rotation of craft brews (though some form of IPA and Berliner Weiss will always be available [which has the IPA-freak in me decidedly tickled]), promising something for your growler at any given moment that you've probably never had. The craft beer geekiness of these Pipeworks guys is apparent the very minute you visit their website and check out their Kickstarter campaign video (which was a success). They loves themselves some brewin' and I loves myself some tastin' so I'm thinking this neighborly relationship will pan out pretty well.
These lads also have some successful collaborations with local breweries around the city like Half Acre and De Struise. My growler and I are already thirsty.
