In his poem "Chicago," Carl Sandburg refers to this great city as "Hog Butcher For the World." And though the literal meaning behind that moniker has faded since the closing of the Union Stock Yards in 1971, it embodies and inspires who we are and the beers we brew in three meaningful ways. For starters, we love hops and we use them A LOT. The multitude of occasions to use hops within the brewing process is boundless and we explore and experiment relentlessly, forever in the name of incredible flavors and worldly aromatics.
