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.

><><><

Cold Press Black Ale NITRO

BLACK ALE W/ COLD BREW COFFEE // 6% ABV

Bent Paddle Brewing Co. // Duluth, Minnesota

The beer that’s part Punk. Same crazy juice coffee we have on tap lives in this. Suck it Folgers.

><><><

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.

><><><

Crazy Juice Cold Brew Coffee NITRO

COLD BREWED COFFEE // 0% ABV

Duluth Coffee Co. // Duluth, Minnesota

Brewed and kegged in-house with Duluth Coffee Co’s Crazy Juice blend. High octane fun that is way too easy to consume. With nitro, who needs cream? Once again, Folgers can suck it.
