In the days leading up to our second South of 80<\/a> event during Chicago Craft Beer Week, we wanted to make you a little more familiar with our featured breweries, since we know that news from downstate doesn\u2019t tend to get a lot of play up here. Today we take a look at the brewery making the biggest moves in St. Louis over the past few months: Urban Chestnut.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"urban<\/a><\/p>\n

Even before Urban Chestnut announced their huge expansion plans<\/a> and an apparent intent to be the biggest craft brewery in the state, these guys were on our radar. With fun beers like the Zucker Weisse, the STLIPA and Schnickelfritz Hefeweizen, it\u2019s not hard to see why.<\/p>\n

Arrangements to bring them to Chicago for this year\u2019s South of 80 extravaganza date all the way back to last year and beyond, so we\u2019re very glad to be able to be the very first to show you what these guys can do. Urban Chestnut\u2019s appearance at The Green Lady next week will be their very first time pouring in Chicago<\/em>, and we do hope you can join us.<\/p>\n

Why are we so excited? Well, other than the \u201cExceptional<\/a>\u201d rating they earn from Beer Advocate users, and being named one of the Best Beers of the Future<\/a> as well as described as \u201crefined\u201d by Food & Wine Magazine<\/a> and a philosophy that features both \u201cRefined\u201d classic styles as well as \u201cRevolution\u201d themed unique offerings\u2026no, actually, that\u2019s exactly why we\u2019re excited.<\/p>\n

While we\u2019re at it, let\u2019s highlight one of the Urban Chestnut beers that will be joining us at South of 80 2.0. STL expats and German lager fans prepare to rejoice: They\u2019re bringing Zwickel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Line forms to the left:<\/p>\n

\"zwickeltweet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From UC\u2019s tasting notes:<\/p>\n

Our flagship lager, pronounced \u2018zv-ick-el\u2019, is an unfiltered, unpasteurized, German classic that finishes as a smooth-drinking, vitamin rich (from the yeast), naturally cloudy bier.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Like we say at the end of all these Snapshots: You\u2019re going to want to be here. (We mean it every single time we say it, too!)<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be releasing the Tap List soon, with a full list of all the beers that\u2019ll be poured next Tuesday, and we\u2019re posting it on Facebook<\/a> first. Don\u2019t forget to \u201cLike\u201d us over there to be among the first to know what the heck we\u2019ll all be drinking that night.<\/p>\n

A reminder: While many Chicago Craft Beer Week events require tickets for admission, South of 80 2.0 is\u00a0<\/em>free to attend: <\/em><\/strong>just show up, drink the beer and enjoy. It\u2019s our pleasure to help facilitate new and interesting brewers to come to Chicago; all we ask is that you join us to enjoy their efforts.<\/em><\/p>\n

South of 80 2.0 takes place Tuesday, May 21st starting at 7 p.m. at The Green Lady in Lakeview. Beers from multiple downstate and St. Louis breweries will be on hand, many available in Chicago for the first time.<\/em><\/p>\n

While there are many events taking place throughout the week, we do hope you\u2019ll join us for a beer and help us raise a toast to the under-appreciated and under-recognized brewers that exist South of 80.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":10924,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[743],"tags":[485,412,528],"yoast_head":"\nSouth of 80 2.0 Snapshot: Urban Chestnut -
