Twisted Hippo

12/09/2025

We will once again be joining our friends Harebrained! and Shawnimals this weekend for a holiday open house. Come pick up some Twisted Hippo merch and enjoy discounts on case purchases of Shine On. Merch makes great gifts and Shine On will help keep your holidays mellow and bright.

In case you have not seen the news, Chicago is considering an ordinance that would stop sales of h**p beverages in the city. We really hope our alderpeople come to their senses and move to enact sensible regulation in place of a full ban. Don't miss this chance to stock up at a discount in case that happens.

Save the date! Harebrained’s annual Open House is coming up! We’ll be opening up the studio space and offering some special deals- we’ve also invited our studio mates and to get in on the fun! Dec 13th 10-2pm & 14th, from 2-5pm!

SPECIAL RELEASE ALERT!

Order direct @ www.drinkshineon.com

We are excited to announce the release of our newest, limited Shine On flavor- Prairie Herbs. It's a "Gin & Tonic inspired" (no actual gin) social seltzer bursting with the flavors of lime, quinine, and gin botanicals. We created this beauty in collaboration with the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild - our trade organization advocating on behalf of craft brewers throughout the state. The guild is on the forefront of legislative activity to establish sensible regulation of this growing beverage category. We will be donating sales proceeds to the guild to aid in those activities.

Look for Prairie Herbs at your favorite spot for infused seltzers (drop us a line if your favorite is not currently stocking Shine On) or order direct to your door @ www.drinkshineon.com

The weather is getting warmer and we are celebrating by bringing back some favorites.

Wit Ever, Man ,our Belgian Wit, is a beloved cashmere sweater of nostalgia and balanced citrus. The Hippo Abides.

Nom Wall is our sessionable Hoppy Pale Ale that pays tribute to the kitchen mural at our former brewpub.

Stardust is a cosmic trip of a Golden Ale brewed with grapefruit peel and gin botanicals that's a total Blam Blam.

All three are available at@brewyards on draft and available in 4-packs to go.

The portal has reopened & Citra Vindicators 3 has returned!

Our beloved West Coast IPA with a healthy dose of *checks notes* Citra hops has returned from another dimension. Let's, uh, let's focus on our mission with this beer: Chico-in-the-late-90s malt bill attending a grapefruit-pine-cone party with a distict aroma of peach rings. Clean yourself up, get the french press steeping, and cosplay as a hero for a hot minute, chief. Now on draft and in cans at District Brew Yards Ashland & Wheeling.
