11:00 - 12:00 am 🍺 Allagash Saison Day
The Mousetrap at Off Color Brewing, 1460 N. Kingsbury St., Chicago (312) 929-2916 🗺️
Allagash Saison Day is back at Mousetrap!
Since it’s our favorite day of the year, we open an hour early at 11am for this celebration of saisons and farmhouse ales. If you haven't been before, quite humbly, it's epic. We roll out a bunch of brand new saisons and take a deep dive into our cellar to bring back some of your old favorites. While the day may be a celebration of saisons, it is equally a celebration of Allagash and their pivotal role in bringing Belgian style beer making to the United States and honoring their standing as one of the giants of American brewing. The best way to do that is to tap a bunch of really delightful beers from their cellar that rarely make it out of Maine (and let us tell you, this year's list is ridiculous). And if that's not enough, we'll tap some fun stuff from our extended network of saison making friends.
This is event is not-ticketed and is open to the public.
