Massive Political Corruption

Pre-Prohibition Style Amber Ale

4.6% abv

Inspired by the Prohibitionists’ hysteria that legalized alcohol promotes “Massive Political Corruption”, our malty, amber ale inspires smiles and approving nods instead. Made with oats and amber candi syrup for the smoothest brew yet.

ZAP! Lager

Pilsner Lager

5.2% abv

We love a light lager at Blue Island Beer Co., and this one gets us more excited than any other that we’ve made! A collaboration with our friends, Todd and Mike over at ZAP! Taco House in Mokena, we wanted to make a beer that went perfectly with their delicious tacos and on it’s own. Crisp, […]

Villain

Vienna-style Amber lager

5.3% abv

The Villain sneaks up with toasty, bready and biscuit malt notes all with a remarkable balance. Light-handed specialty malts give a perfect character with a crisp finish of locally grown (MI) hop variety Zuper Saazer from Hop Head Farms. Prost!

Gilly Wagon

Golden Lambic Ale

5.4% abv

This spontaneously barrel fermented beer features our 5 Bridges grain bill and spent the last year aging in the same barrels that created Gothic Funk, our Flanders Red. Tart, light, delicious.

Oud Bruin

6.6% abv

This barrel aged sour brown ale was fermented for 2 years in our American oak barrels. Following the Gothic Funk Flanders Red ale, and the Gilly Wagon golden sour ale, this beer shares the same wild fermentation critters, but begins with a brown ale as the base. Tart, rich, and pleasantly smooth. **SILVER MEDAL** 2022 […]

Hard Luck

American IPA

6.8% abv

Our American IPA, brewed with healthy additions of Pacific Northwest hops, has flavors and aromas of tropical fruits, citrus, and pine notes. Combined with a touch of toasted malts, the Hard Luck is medium bodied with a dry, pleasant citrus finish.

Dänk Punk

Hazy IPA

7.2% abv

Brewed with a crazy amount of late addition hops and for the ultimate freshness, Dänk Punk is an extremely citrus forward beer. With two different dry hop additions, Dänk Punk has very vibrant flavors and aromas without a lingering bitterness, finishing with a pleasant carbonation sizzle.

Run Devil, Run

Stout Ale

10.1% abv

Huge, rich aromas of roasted, chocolate malts, combine with hints of molasses and dark fruits to compliment this full-bodied beer. Balance between malt and hop bitterness lead to a smooth robust beer that hits all the right spots.

Small Victories

Imperial Saison w/ rose hips & hisbiscus

10.3% abv

This beer begins with a touch of sweetness from the rose hips, is slightly tart from the hibiscus, and blends in some saison yeast characteristics to round it all out. A smooth beer at 10%, so be careful!

The Ocho

Belgian Tripel

12.1% abv

A complex, mildly spicy brew with clove-like aromas that blend into fruity esters, including bubble gum, cotton candy, and banana. We kept the body light and well attenuated to yield a beer with a balanced hop and malt character that finishes slightly sweet and is reminiscent of Trappist beers from Belgium. Please be responsible and limit […]

Sodas

We always feature two rotating craft sodas in a wide variety of delicious flavors. Many of these mix perfectly with our lighter bodied beers.

Draft Cocktails

We've blended our house-made sodas with the perfect spirits, juices, and (in some cases) botanicals to achieve the tastiest drinks on the SouthSide! We know you've been wanting, waiting, and envisioning our all natural sodas pepped up with liquor in all the right ways. With just a couple on tap for the time being, check back in to see what is available.
