Belt’s Beer Garden: Illuminating the Way
This week I start with a beer I bought because the label just was too good to pass up...IBW’s Fruit Slave.
Illuminated Brew Works is a newer Chicago brewery that focuses on farmhouses and IPAs. They do a lot of small batch things and are constantly putting new beers out in the market. Currently they are only available in Chicagoland.
Due to the awesome childhood memories of chewing the gum that’s being mocked on their label, I instantly grabbed their Fruit Slave – a DIPA made with Citra, Mandarina Bavaria, and Motueka hops. It’s one of their newest creations with the 750 mL (25.4 ounce) bottle cost just $10.99 and packing a 7.5% ABV punch.
