TONIGHT 🤘🍺 LE JUS IS BACK + METAL HORROR BINGO
Tonight’s Metal Horror Bingo features Alarmist Brewing’s Le Jus Hazy IPA and an Insidious 1&2 double feature. It’s also the first sampling since Le Jus reentered the market!
This cult-favorite New England-style hazy is brewed with Mosaic + Citra hops and a touch of lactose. In 2018, Le Jus made history by taking Gold at GABF in the newly created Juicy or Hazy IPA category, helping cement its status as a Chicago craft b**r favorite.
Earlier this summer, Pollyanna Brewing acquired Alarmist Brewing, including its b**r brands and recipes, and is bringing Le Jus and other Alarmist favorites back into distribution while preparing to reopen the former Alarmist brewery in Sauganash.
Come drink Le Jus, play some bingo, and spend the night in The Further. 🖤🤘
