Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago.

On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski is back from his German adventures and Nik has a lot to share about what Brad missed while he was busy knocking back liters. First up the guys talk about the latest barrel-aged release from Sketchbook Brewing, this was a preview event both Brad and Nik attended at the end of October. It’s great to see Sketchbook continuing to explore and try new things rather than getting stuck with the same releases. Then Nik shares about the two big events that Brad missed; Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stout preview and FOBAB. This is now two years in a row Brad has missed FOBAB which is a bit of a bummer for him. FOBAB is one of the events you get to try a lot of beers that you can’t get your hands on or don’t want to drop $40 on to drink at home. With stout season in full swing, what releases are you most looking forward to trying?

Unsure if last year had as many brewery winter markets but it was a nice treat this year to do a little shopping as I sipped on a Big Hugs.

Keep an eye out for the next and final episode of 2022 as Brad and Nik breakdown their 10 favorite beers from 2022. Cheers!
