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 crack open cans of Bangarang. This is the first ever collaboration between Alarmist Brewing and Sketchbook Brewing. Bangarang is hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Hallertau Blanc and Simcoe to draw out white wine and citrus flavors. This dry IPA clocks in at 5.5% ABV for some serious summer crushing. As the guys knock back some of these cans they run down their favorite beers so far in 2023. If you have a favorite you’ve had so far please let the guys know in the comments.
