Raise a Glass to 20.4% ABV Double Barrel Shadowman This Labor Day at River North

What's up, beer lovers?

Labor Day weekend is almost here and we’ve got a lineup that’s too good to miss. From bold new beer releases to dancing, dogs, and delicious eats, there’s something for everyone. We can’t wait to see you in the taprooms and share all the fun with our community.

First things first, let’s talk about the beer releases this weekend. We’re excited to give our blog readers an exclusive first look at a special addition to Saturday’s lineup before it’s announced to the public!

Our Double Barrel Aged Shadowman is making its 2025 debut on draft and in bottles to-go. This limited release stout spent time in two distinct Colorado barrels, one whiskey and one single malt, giving it rich layers of chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, and oak. At 20.4% ABV, it’s bold, complex, and built for serious stout lovers. Reserve your pre-sale bottles HERE.

As a sneak peek just for our blog readers, we’ve added Rheinzeit to Saturday’s release! Rheinzeit is a smooth German-style Altbier at 5.5% ABV with toasty malt notes, a touch of caramel, and a crisp, dry finish. Together, these two beers make the perfect reason to raise a glass this holiday weekend.
