6/15/2019 - The Whistle Punk: Tap List

It's finally the weekend, folks. (So. Much. Yes.) The Whistle Punk is a buzzing place this time of year, especially with their expansion that just took place. They've been kicking taps left and right and maybe it's you that will be the next one that ends up on their Punkstagram. (It's like winning a freakin' Dundie.) Check out "What's Tappening" down at The Whistle Punk this weekend.

—————————————
Young Lambic
UNBLENDED TRADITIONAL LAMBIC // 5% ABV
Lindemans Brewery // Vlezenbeek, Belgium
A truly rare experience. Tart, funky, golden baby Lambic goodness.
><><><
Volo
AMERICAN WHEAT ALE // 4.2% ABV
Half Acre Brewing Co // Chicago, Illinois
Way drinkable, but with actual flavor. Imagine that. Citrusy, with a clean, doughy malt body. Slug it.
><><><
Daisy Cutter
AMERICAN PALE ALE // 5.2% ABV
Half Acre Brewing Co // Chicago, Illinois
If you’re only going to have one beer from Chicago, this is it. Yea, I said it, my official beer of the “312”. It’s bright and punchy like so many of your favorite hoppy beers, but it isn’t so aggressive and bitter. Biscuity malt body and candied oranges take you to your happy place.
><><><
Navaja
IMPERIAL IPA // 10% ABV
Half Acre Brewing Co // Chicago, Illinois
A resinous, juicy sock to the temple. Don’t let this one get away from you, it’s imperial in strength, but begs for another sip. Party on.
><><><
Neapolitan Milk Stout
MILK STOUT // 6% ABV
Saugatuck Brewing Co. // Saugatuck, Michigan
Sweet stout done like the most drinkable of chocolate cakes. You’d swear there are cherries in it.

The Dissident
FLEMISH-STYLE SOUR BROWN ALE AGED IN OAK BARRELS W/ CHERRIES // 8.7% ABV
Deschutes Brewery // Bend, Oregon
One of the top shelf “oud bruin” (Flemish sour brown ale) beers made outside of Belgium. Caramel, balsamic, cherry, oak, Magic.
><><><
Lemon Soda
LEMON SODA // 0% ABV
Zymurgy Brewing Co // Menomonie, Wisconsin
Straight up lemon soda, perfect for blending up your favorite radler. Refreshing, sweet lemon joy in your glass.
><><><
Sherlock
ENGLISH STYLE MILD ALE // 4.2% ABV
Zymurgy Brewing Co // Menomonie, Wisconsin
As tasty and intriguing as the handsome Benedict Cumberbatch, the current Sherlock of our generation. A little bit of lactose adds some depth and sweetness to this bready golden ale. See what you can deduce about it.
><><><
Fluffhead
GERMAN STYLE HEFEWEIZEN // 5.5% ABV
Zymurgy Brewing Co // Menomonie, Wisconsin
A fresh take on a hefe. Brewed with a bit of honey to add a dash of floral character to this aromatic fluffy wheat ale.
><><><
Festy Vest
IMPERIAL BELGIAN STYLE SAISON // 10% ABV
Zymurgy Brewing Co // Menomonie, Wisconsin
A boozy botanical Belgian-style ale. Spicy notes from the yeast combined with a blend of unique herbs makes for a gastronomic experience. Hurry up and find yourself some herbed chevre!
><><><
Can-o-Bliss
HAZY IPA // 7.2% ABV
Oskar Blues Brewery // Longmont, Colorado (amongst other places)
Just say the name sorta fast. Not so subtle Rocky Mountain High. Straight hop juice.
><><><
Pear Cider
PEAR AND APPLE CIDER // 5.3% ABV
Stem Ciders // Denver, Colorado
Elegant, yet down to earth. It’s like apple cider, but with pears in it…
><><><
Cherry Basil Kombucha
KOMBUCHA // .5% ABV
Deane’s Kombucha // Minneapolis, Minnesota
Probiotics do not get more refreshing than this. Aged in oak barrels, brilliantly layered flavors.

Purple Butterfly Tea NITRO
HERBAL TEA: BUTTERFLY PEA FLOWER, KING TUT LEMONADE // 0% ABV
Cup of Té // Toronto, Canada
Purple iced tea on nitro? Yea, sounds about right. Floral, fruity, with just a touch of tang. Pour directly into face.
