That other brewery posting cat pictures is ripping us off. You can’t drink fancy beer here, but you can drink fancy beer at @OCMousetrap.

Some work days are more fun than others. Don’t mind us just tasting through some beer and dumpling pairings with Jesse from QXY as we plan an epic upcoming QXY x Off Color Brewing Beer Dinner at their new Wicker Park location 👀

Bourbon Barrel Aged Cat Fiend with Honey - Expect soft notes of wildflower honey, warming oak vanilla, and cupcakey bourbon overlay a bedazzling Fall array of Ceylon, Chinese and Darjeeling black teas. Intricate, nuanced, and resplendent.

Apple Cat Fiend - Our hard iced tea returns with a fun seasonal twist inspired crisp Fall days and childhood trips to the orchard. Aged on dried cider apples and vanilla beans, expect an melange of malty, floral, and baking spice notes with a dry, tannic finish.

There isn’t a brewery in the country that doesn’t think it’s cool that the Brewers won the World Series.

25 books into the Off Color Book Club, it’s amazing to think we’ve filled a bookshelf. The visual of the complete collection in chronological order right through next month’s Pulitzer Prize winning The Nickel Boys puts it in perspective. How many of these books have you read?

Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel The Nix by Nathan Hill The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett Trust Klara and the Sun by Hernan Diaz The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai Less by Andrew Sean Greer Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin Chain-Gang All Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich Last Summer on State Street by Toya Wolfe Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado North Woods by Daniel Mason Little Eyes by Samanta Schweblin Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir There There by Tommy Orange Lost Children Archive by Valeria Luiselli True Biz by Sara Nović Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardino Evaristo A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan There is a Rio Grande in Heaven by Ruben Reyes Jr. Pachinko by Min Jin Lee I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead

A bigger, bolder variant of our classic imperial stout, DinoS’mores returns. Like a perfectly toasted marshmallow, the flavor teeters between honey and roasted but avoids any burnt notes as bold sweet confectionery chocolate aromatics give way to a rich, creamy mouthfeel.

The heavy alcohol only lurks well after the brew is quaffed but will leave you feeling as warm as leaving your shoes too close to the campfire. Double Stuffed Dino S’mores is now available on draft and in 4pks of 16oz cans to-go. Distro already underway.

Our collab Si Fang pairs perfectly with all of the dumplings from QXY, but we thought it would be fun to dive deeper and explore a wider range of their specific flavor combinations and our unique beer pairings (we know, it was a really tough job workshopping this one 😂).

The resulting five-course beer dinner is going to be insane. We’ll be taking over the Wicker Park location for a night of dumpling eating and beer drinking. Keep an eye on both of our social media channels for more details and an event date in the next couple of weeks.

Our original hockey beer is back!! Beer for the Top Shelf (aka Beer for Hockey) is a classic Vienna style lager dosed with a hefty amount of late harvest maple syrup sourced from southwest Michigan.

The maple syrup sugar ferments out almost completely and leaves the lager surprisingly dry with a mild woody note and slight mineral character derived from the maple trees. Melanoidins similar to light brown sugar remain to compliment the sweet nutty flavor of the Vienna malt.
