Just Tapped: Off Color Brewing B**r For Dealing With Relocation
Off Color is b**r for Chicago. The Bears are football for Chicago. So if one has to go to NW Indiana, the other will make a b**r in homage to NW Indiana. This hazy, dry-hppped wheat ale, takes inspiration from the classic hoppy wheat from NW Indiana.

We know Off Color will always call Chicago home. Let's hope the Bears do too.

Looking for a spot to watch the Chicago Bears Monday night game? Swing into Franklin Tap. All screens with full sound and $2 off drafts.
