Midwest Migration is our liquid sendoff to one of our own, Spencer. Even if we met him as a fully grown adult with a full beard, there’s still a feeling that he’s a duckling leaving the nest. After years behind the bar, in the trenches, and woven into the fabric of this place, he’s making the long-term flight back home to Chicago

We brewed this RyePA as a nod to that migration. Bright, hop-forward, and easy drinking at 5.4%, it carries the familiar comfort of a classic pale ale, but with a little extra edge. The rye brings a subtle spice and a sharper bite, giving it a firmer, more assertive bitterness than you might expect from a Pale Ale. He even helped in the brewing process, dumping a hop pellet or two into the batch
