Press Release:
(Chicago, IL) – The Local Option will debut two new beers in the next week or so according to a rep. The team recently brewed both beers, American Muscle New World Double IPA and Morning Wood, at Against The Grain Brewery in Louisville, KY.
American Muscle beer description:
American Muscle – New World Double IPA is a massive hop-bomb brewed by the Local Option at Against The Grain Brewery in Louisville, KY. Aggressively late-kettle and dry hopped with four quintessential varietals of American hops; this beer is built like houses used to be built. A strong malt backbone balances a rich, flavorful palate of citrus fruit with floral and earthy notes. No adjuncts or extracts of any type were used in this beer.

Local Option Morning Wood beer description:
Local Option Morning Wood is an oak-aged coffee ale developed by the Local Option beer bar in Chicago and brewed at Against The Grain Brewery in Louisville, KY. Fresh American oak used during the aging process and Blue Bottle’s Mexican Chiapas Proish single origin coffee aromatically drive the beer; while remaining subtle components of the beers’ complete flavor profile. The amber colored, medium-bodied, and extraordinarily well-balanced ale was first unveiled at the Festival of Wood and Barrel Aged Beers in November 2011. Morning Wood’s taste is delicate and should be appreciated by beer drinkers of all palates.
