Description
In 2015, Hubbard’s Cave was developed as an alternative to our Belgian Style Ales. Producing American Style ales, primarily imperial stouts and Hubbard’s Cave signature Fresh IIPAs, Hubbard’s Cave is a refreshing addition to the Une Anneé Family. Named after the Chicago Hubbard Street traffic tunnel on Interstate 90/94, next to where the brewery was born, Hubbard’s Cave has quickly grown to produce some of our most popular offerings.

Aroma is initially caramel and orange circus peanuts, before those descriptors die out and leave candied tropical fruit notes. Pours a hazy cantaloupe hue with a decent off white head. Taste is lightly sweet, light to moderately bitter with juicy fruity hop flavors. Very solid.
