Early arrivers to today’s Offtoberfest Keep the Stein celebration, get ready for donuts! We teamed up with Firecakes to make an Oktoberfest donut Bismarck donut filled with Bavarian cream, coated in a “Waddle” Oktoberfest infused icing & topped with brown butter pretzel brittle.

I was super excited to write about one of my favorite breweries for @pelliclemag.com - Off Color in Chicago!

Love this sound bite @davidnilsenbeer.bsky.social grabbed from Laffler. “Sometimes we just make a Pilsner because we like to make Pilsner.”

Side note: if you don’t finish the book, you can also feel free to swing through. We’ll have some tables set up outside the discussion area for the laggards to do some free reading while enjoying a beer.

This month’s thematically appropriate pairing beer is Beer for Dealing with Relocation, a Belgian Wit which is also a nod to the author’s heritage. Haven’t been to one of our book club gatherings before? Just read the book and swing through at 7pm on Tuesday October 20th.

Narrated through the point of view of a young girl imprisoned with a group of 39 women who have no memory of how they got there, this is a harrowing journey of survival and friendship that asks what freedom and humanity truly mean in the absence of society.

Off Color Brewing @offcolorbrewing.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Really excited about the next book in the Off Color Book Club. I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman is a post-apocalyptic dystopian novel that explores themes of identity, femininity, solitude, and community.

Beer for Tote Bags puts the Pub in Public Radio with this English style Pub ale. Moderate in strength and easily approachable, we hope to entice you to raise a glass, support Public Radio, and become a member today! 16oz 4pks will be available to go, but are not nitro.

NEW BEER FOR THE NITRO LINE: Beer for Tote Bags A few months ago, we brewed a really nice British Mild with our friends at @wbez.org People enjoyed it so much, we brought it back and this time it will be pouring on Mousetrap’s nitro line & served in 20oz imperial pints.

As you can see, it’s a really solid year coming up. Hope to see you at 7pm on the third Tuesday of each month or even just occasionally if you’re not trying to read a book every month. Pachinko is up 2 weeks from tonight, which means, if you haven’t started, you still got time.

Off Color Brewing @offcolorbrewing.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

The nice thing about having the entire schedule up front is that it allows you to pick and choose if you’re looking for a little more reading time than a month and it certainly helps with getting ahead on those Chicago Public Library holds :)

BOOK CLUB YEARLY SCHEDULE! It’s been over two years of monthly Tuesday meetings of the Off Color Book Club at Mousetrap and we can assure you we’ll be going for at least another year and that’s because the bookmarks with the schedule for the next 12 months have been printed.

CORRECTION: Mark your calendars!! Offtoberfest is Sunday September 27th from 11am until 9:30pm at Mousetrap!

While this beer is currently available in 375ml bottles to-go, we figured this would be as good a time as any to tap the final kegs and will be doing so at Mousetrap this Tuesday September 1st so you can all get a chance to try this, now, award-winning beer :)

Brewed with Lemon Blossom Honey, Koji inoculated rice from our sake program, and bee pollen, Ah-Choo!! is light in body while a carefully controlled fermentation retains the delicate aromatic of lemon blossoms.

Off Color Brewing @offcolorbrewing.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

A long Belgian brewing tradition, we look forward every year to brewing a special “printemps” saison to celebrate the arrival of spring. Taking inspiration from our favorite pollinators, we brewed this springtime honey saison alongside the National Honey Board.

BEElieve it! We just got word that Ah-Choo!!, our spring saison with lemon blossom honey, bee pollen, and koji inoculated rice, not only won a gold medal in the Belgian-Style Ale Category but also took Best in Show at the 2026 Honey Beer Competition. #honeybeercompetition

Packaged yesterday, 750 bottles and draft are fresh and very hop forward and we’d recommend drinking now to enjoy that hoppiness rather than cellaring (we also have vintage Space Tiger in 250ml bottles that very nicely show the effect of time on brett).

Off Color Brewing @offcolorbrewing.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Bigger, bolder, and striped for camouflage, Space Tiger is a super saison - the larger cousin of our lion based saisons, fermented with Brett. Viciously dry hopped with a blend of Galaxy and Sterling results in a melange of citrus, perfume, and jungle appropriate tropical notes.

Off Color Brewing @offcolorbrewing.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Nothing better than sitting outside and looking at the stars and drinking a fresh Space Tiger! Our galactic traveler has returned in 750ml bottles for the first time since 2020.
