Description

Local Option Bierwerker is the brewing division of The Local Option, a pub in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. Owner Tony Russomanno has established himself in the craft beer community through years of experience, and today he partners with six different breweries to create all of Local Option's diverse and innovative beers. Local Option Bierweker believes partnering with different breweries gives them maximum flexibility, allowing them to brew as large or as limited a batch as needed. They’ve taken up recipes long forgotten by the mainstream, such as the Kentucky Common, and perfected well-established favorites, like their steam beer Dampf Loc. Local Option Bierwerker offers a brash, in-your-face approach to craft beer; they brew with bravado and aren’t afraid of a little well-placed irreverence while still respecting the long-standing traditions that provide the foundation for their heavy metal brews.

Blood ov the Kings from Local Option Bierwerker

1 year ago

6.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 6.5

Bottle at home. Earthy aroma has bready malt, caramel, biscuit, hoppy notes, touch of stewed fruits. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied, slightly robust. Unremarkable, but easy and pleasant malty earthy wheat ale.
