The Ultimate Guide to Barleywine Month at River North This April!

​April is one of our favorite times of the year at River North—it's Barleywine Month! We're thrilled to bring you a month-long celebration filled with exclusive releases, special variants, and, of course, plenty of barleywine. Here's your guide to the festivities:​

Saturday, April 5 – Barleywine Month Kickoff!

We're starting strong with the release of Trinity of Time, a masterful blend of all the barleywines in our Father Time series: Father Time, Death of Time, and Soul of Time. Additionally, each taproom will feature special adjunct variants of Bucket of Bolts—available on draft only.​

Saturday, April 19 – Double Barrel, Double Collabs!

Prepare for the Double Barrel-Aged Father Time, a layered, oaky barleywine packed with complex barrel character. But that’s not all—we’re also tapping some seriously fun Collab Fest beers! Ever wondered what a coffee marshmallow imperial stout tastes like? Fluffy Nightmare with Odyssey Beerwerks has you covered. Or maybe a blended Saison Cuvée with Wanderment Brewing is more your style? Either way, these are draft-only, so don’t miss out!
