🎂🍹🍾
It’s that time of the year when we celebrate our cofounder, Brian, and his youngest son Owen’s birthday! Each Fall, in honor of Owen, we cook up a specialty cocktail inspired by what Owen is into at the time. This year, Owen turned 6️⃣ and wanted a cocktail with two of his favorite things…lime and salt!

Owen can pound a bag of potato chips, loves salted broccoli, and is always asking for freshly squeezed lime water (so boojie). Tasked with creating something other than a margarita, our crew came up with a salted maple bourbon sour cocktail to fit the season…and it’s delicious!

Check out this birthday cocktail in Roselle, St Charles, and the crew at Pollyanna Social in Lemont will whip something similar up for you!

Happy birthday Owen! 🥳

Cooler weather means hot coffee. ☕

We're busy roasting new coffee almost daily in-house out of Roselle so you can get through your daily grind. Stop by any location to grab a hot mug in house or take a bag to go!

Give Pollyanna Coffee Roasting a follow to keep up with what coffee antics we're up to.

No caption needed, really.

But here’s what we’ll say, Oktoberfest kicks off at noon tomorrow in Roselle. Be there, we’ve got Fruhauf.

🧨 Alarmist Flagships now available in cans across all four Pollyanna locations 🧨

Stop by Lemont, Roselle, St. Charles, or our cocktail bar Pollyanna Social to try the core three b**rs that Alarmist Brewing & Taproom has righteously nailed over the years.

For now, you'll find "Pantsless" Pale Ale and "Le Jus," a GABF Gold medal-winning Hazy IPA. "Crispy Boy" Pils is, well, still gettin' crispy in the tanks, but it'll be available shortly, too!

While we're getting into the thick of construction on our newest adventure up Northwest in Chicago, you can enjoy these brews at one of our current spots in the meantime.

Wanna name a b**r? Please comment ONLY on Orange & Brew’s post by clicking it below. We look forward to this tradition with our friends at O&B every year, they rule. If your name wins, you get to brew the b**r with us on October 23rd 👀

Please do not comment on this shared post, your name may get lost in the sauce. Comment on the original post, cheers! 🍊

We're ready for our next b**r-naming contest with our good friends at Pollyanna! It's our eighth annual chance for you to get your idea on a can of b**r, and be immortalized on Untappd forever! Are you creative enough to be the winner??

This year we're not telling you the b**r style! Your chance with a blank slate to come up with a whimsical, funny, or creative name for the b**r. Be sure to think of both Pollyanna and us. And one hint...we still haven't selected an "Orange you glad..." name, and don't expect this to be the year there's a breakthrough. 😁

You have until this upcoming Sunday, October 4th, to comment here with your idea. We’ll pick five finalists and let our fans vote for the winner.

Grand Prize will be a $75 Orange & Brew gift card, swag bag, an invitation to help us brew the b**r on the morning of Friday, October 23rd, and get a tour of Pollyanna’s Lemont Brewery. The other four finalists will each win a $25 Orange & Brew gift card and swag bag.

Disclaimer...you MUST comment on this post to be considered. Good luck!

Happy Friday! We've got Happytimessnackshack smashin' patties and tossin' fries from 5-9pm. John Boda is also braving the heat and bringing the musical heat from 7-10pm.

If you haven't stopped by to try our anniversary b**rs, what are you waiting for!?

If you’ve sat in these seats, you already know...

You’ve had the “okay, we should probably go” conversation at least 45 minutes before actually leaving. You’ve had great conversations, terrible conversations, and conversations that absolutely stayed at the table.
..and after 12 years, we can confirm one thing: your butt might hurt after a while, so thanks for staying. 😂

Our 12th Anniversary celebration is going all weekend through Sunday, so you’ve got plenty of time to come claim your usual seat.

Now pouring til we're out:
✱ 12th Anniversary L***r, an English-Style Helles, 4.6% ABV
✱ Wild Berry 12th Anniversary L***r, 4.6% ABV
✱ Rum Barrel Aged 10th Anniversary Baltic Porter, 11.5% ABV
✱ Coconut Rum Barrel Aged 10th Anniversary Baltic Porter, 11.5% ABV

Come grab a b**r, get started on your Anniversary Bingo card (iykyk), and sit for a while.

LOTR trivia tonight in the taproom! 7-9pm.

It's the last car show in Lemont tonight, too! It's beautiful out today and the patio is calling your name.

Probably the most boring, yet exciting photo we've ever posted.

You've been asking, so we delivered. Deck season is officially underway in Lemont. Our leadership team rolled up their sleeves after today’s meeting to get the patio set up and ready for sunny hangs, cold b**r, and good company. See you out there soon.
