19 is the new 22. Or, 19.2 oz is the new bomber. The large format can known as the stovepipe is growing in popularity around craft beer and it’s not just the big players like New Belgium and Goose Island utilizing the format. Local Chicago breweries like Revolution, Half Acre and Maplewood have put their beers in the single serving can. I sat down with acclaimed writer Kate Bernot and we discussed the growing popularity of the Stovepipe. All that and more on this edition of Beer In Front.

I’m so happy to welcome Benno Nelson the co-founder of Five Corners today.
