Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago. On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White have some cans of Junior Astronaut Juice from Illuminated Brew Works. It’s been awhile since the guys have made it to Illuminated Brew Works and honestly it often slips their minds when they think of the Northside Chicago breweries. Brad and Nik venture all across the state to visit breweries and they often overlook gems like Illuminated Brew Works right in their backyards. As the guys crush this DDHIPA, Nik shares a bit about his recent trip to BiXi Beer. Oktoberfest events are right around the corner, we hope everyone is ready! Having issues listening to the audio?
