Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago. On this weeks episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White talk about their hunt in Chicago for Goose Island Bourbon County Stout and Nik’s recent trip to the Zoo for Brew Lights. As we get closer to Christmas and the holidays it seems like there are less and less events going on. The guys did dig up a few events happening this weekend. On Saturday, December 12th is the Beer Fest Beat Down at the Sears Centre Arena. Then on Sunday at Half Acre Brewing is the release of their 2015 coffee stout, Big Hugs. This year Half Acre will also be releasing a vanilla version as well so be sure to get up their early and get in line.  All that and more on this weeks episode of Chicago Beer Pass! Cheers!
