Beers Of The Month | November 2024

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

Graham’s Chocolate Ale
6.0% ABV. Penrose Graham’s Chocolate Ale, 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 beer 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, with even MORE CHOCOLATE than the last iteration.
