Beers Of The Month | November 2023

Featured selections of Craft Beers created by local Fox Valley area brewing companies.

Piper New England IPA
The same great taste but with a brand-new look! 93 Octane’s PRIDE Piper is now Piper. Piper still delivers that tropical Hazy NEIPA with notes of orange, apricot & melon. Leaving you with a well-balanced dry-hopped hazy New England IPA made with Mosaic & Simcoe hops. Just like Monster Exhaust Systems brings more power to the Engine, PIPER revs up your palate with flavor. Stop by the Taproom in St. Charles and try it on draft or in our $15 BFD special, burger, fries, draft lunch deal: Tuesday – Friday 11am – 3 pm! Grab the new cans in the taproom, or next door at The PRIDE Beer & Wine Plus Spirit or any of your local retailers. For the month of November visit The PRIDE of St. Charles and fill your tank with 8 gallons or more and within 3 days show your receipt at The PRIDE Beer & Wine Plus Spirits and get 20% off your entire purchase. Our way of giving thanks to our customers and making it a little easier to gather with friends and family this holiday season.

Penrose Graham’s Chocolate Porter
6.0% ABV – Penrose Graham’s Chocolate Porter, a collaborative creation by Penrose Brewing and Graham’s Chocolates, is a luscious fusion of chocolate and craft brewing in Geneva. Pouring a rich, velvety brown, this porter envelops your senses with an irresistible aroma of roasted malt and chocolate, using the same chocolate ingredients as Graham’s Chocolates. With each sip, you’ll be treated to a luxurious medley of chocolate and roasted malt, perfectly balancing sweetness and bitterness. What makes this brew even sweeter is that part of the proceeds supports Tri-City Family Services, making it a delightful indulgence that gives back to the community. Cheers to Geneva this Fall and Winter season! AVAILABILITY: Early November.
