We’ve opened the archives to offer a variety of classic CBS logos on just about everything you could imagine. And when we say "just about everything," we mean it.
And remember: you're always welcome to join our long-running meetup & bottle share at The Beer Temple on the 1st Thursday of every month 🍻
Just a bit of notice on a few of our upcoming events. MUCH more to come as we approach our year-long 50th anniversary celebrations, which will officially kick-off with the 2026 Fall Tasting, so stay tuned for more details! 🍻

When the blind portion of the tasting ends, the beers will be revealed and will remain available for your continued enjoyment, so feel free to go back for repeated samples of all of your favorites, all while enjoying a fantastic spread of food from Une Annee's talented kitchen crew.
Attendees will participate in a blind tasting of over a dozen Chicagoland craft beers before voting on their favorites. This allows the specially procured beers to be judged strictly on their own merits.
This year’s tasting will be our 48th — continuing its legacy as one of the oldest and longest running beer events in the country!
For the 2025, we've planned an evening with our friends at Une Année where we'll be taking over their event space inside the brewery for this one-of-a-kind event.

Our monthly First Thursday meetup is tonight at the Beer Temple. Many attendees arrive @ 7 for a beer at the bar before the meetup gets going around 8 in the back.
With these frigid temps we are firmly into Stout Season so dust off those bottles you've been itching to share & join us tonight 🍻

Long live Metropolitan!
Half Acre 'Ridge Tree' is new and fantastic, but there are so many good ones available right now that it's hard to pick just one... Dovetail Revolution, and Goldfinger all come to mind...
