Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago. This week on Chicago Beer Pass there are zero hugs going around. Sadly, Brad Chmielewski & Nik White were both unable to get their coffee stout loving hands on any bottles of Big Hugs this year. For some consolation, the guys are drinking cans of Half Acre Daisy Cutter as they chat about Brad’s attempt to score Big Hugs and Nik drinking Jack Daniels.  As the year draws to a close, there seems to be less and less beer events happening. One event you should be checking out is the first official release of Bold Dog Beer Company beers at Bitter Pops on Friday, December 16th. The duo behind Bold Dog have been listeners, guests and supporters of Chicago Beer Pass and it’s exciting to finally see their beer getting out there to the public.    The guys wrap up the show with a bit of news and talk about the endless issues surrounding Finch’s. All that and more on this weeks episode of hicago Beer Pass. Cheers!  Having issues listening to the audio? Try the MP3 (41.4 MB) or subscribe to the podcast on iTunes!
