Welcome to the Dark Side. We’ll release Deth’s Tar at the tap room (3340 N. Kedzie) at 4pm on Wednesday, Sept. 25. $15 per bottle. There’s lots to go around, so don’t worry if you can’t make it ’til after work. We’ll also provide some food.

A play on Josh’s name, this Russian imperial stout is aged in four different types of bourbon barrels (Old Fitzgerald, Old Forester, Elijah Craig, and Evan Williams), then blended for the resulting thick and dark brew. If you had a chance to taste Alderaan, this is the aged version.

In addition to the bottle release at our tap room on Sept. 25, we’re doing a wide release in 22-ounce bottles and draft.
