City Provisions Starts Serving "Master Crafted" Home Brews

2011_8_23_PTi.jpg We found out earlier in the week that City Provisions would be serving limited edition beers on tap brewed by Cleetus Friedman and local breweries. The first beer, a cherry dunkelweiss called Kirsch von Blucher made with Flossmoor Station, got rave reviews - and it turns out that this is going to be a monthly affair.

Our own Karl Klockars, at GuysDrinkingBeer, got the complete schedule of upcoming releases, and they make us want to storm the back room of City Provisions, capture Cleetus and demand he serve them to us right now.

Here's the schedule, via GDB:

September: A dunkel doppel rye bock aged in a Templeton Rye barrel for 8+ months, brewed in conjunction with Metropolitan.
October: A honey wheat brewed with Finch
November: A sarsaparilla stout made with Dark Horse
December: A Belgian strong ale with Pipeworks

Pints are $6-$8. Yet another reason to visit City Provisions.
