Two stouts and a pilsner walk into a bar… which means we have a TRIPLE #NewBeerThursday for you today, along with beer poking from 5–7 pm! → link in bio for all the details

STRATEGIC PILS LOCATIONS is a crisp, dry, American-style pilsner, featuring pilsner malt from Maltwerks in Detroit Lakes, as well as ahtanum and huell melon hops. It's lightly malty, with notes of citrus, fresh cut grass, green tea, and white bread crust. Available on tap and in crowlers.

COGNAC BARREL-AGED STOUT started its life as a thiccc imperial stout, and should be sipped in a similar fashion to a French cognac: in a glass that easily expresses its great aroma and enjoyed with great reverence and respect to its strength. Rich, malty, roast, chocolate, and cognac flavor notes in this beer are best shared with the French brandy fans in your life. Available only on tap.

THE PURPLEST TOOTH is a 21 month old, port barrel–aged imperial stout. Available only on tap.

✨A BLAST FROM THE PAST✨

Ten years ago this month, our co-founders Matt, Niko, and Evan threw the first kick-off party to announce Fair State to the world. They homebrewed what (at the time) felt like an astonishing amount of beer, rented the second floor of a vacant warehouse, and invited a heap of people who they thought might be interested in being part of what they were building. The response was phenomenal: over 200 people showed up and they signed up the very first group of founding co-op members.

The event couldn’t have happened without the early and absolutely over the top support from Mike Schacherer and the rest of the team at Little & Co, the gracious hospitality experience and help of founding Board Member Julia Gallagher and her husband Tim Allen who kept people fed and the beer flowing, and so many friends. Fair State wouldn’t be where we are without these folks and the support of every single member who’s made this community something special. Whether you’ve been with us for ten years or ten days, thank you.

Ever had one of those days when you don't wanna wake up? You don't really know why, but you want to justify coming down to Fair State? If that describes you this week, keep reading.

Feeling Like a Freight Train is a Kentucky Common—but despite the style's name, it's pretty hard to come by. One of the few beer styles native to America, its popularity has waned in the last century due to an increased public preference for lighter flavored, more transparent beers.

TL;DR, we made a dark cream ale. It's smooth and perfect for spring sipping. Come drink it.

Feeling Like a Freight Train is now available on tap and in crowlers from the taproom for #NewBeerThursday! → link in bio

Fair State is now available far and wide throughout Chicago thanks to Oath Distributing!

After self-distributing our beer in the windy city over the last six months, we are so excited to expand our partnership with our pals at Oath. From our work with them in Michigan over the last three years, we know they will do an amazing job helping us grow our footprint so even more of you can find our brews in your local liquor stores.
