It all started with a concept. Five years later, Freedomish remains a way we, as a community, can commemorate Juneteenth and the end of slavery in the confederate states. We’re so grateful for the partnership with Jay Westbrook (aka Black Beer Baron) and the many organizations we’ve supported along the way. Stop in, grab a pint or four pack of Respect Existence or Expect Resistance and raise a glass to freedom-ish.

We’re excited to announce that Sketchbook Brewing, alongside collaborator Jay Westbrook, have created a beer called Respect Existence or Expect Resistance for their annual brew collaboration Freedomish, with a portion of proceeds donated to ICIRR!

Every time you purchase a can of Respect Existence or Expect Resistance from Evanston Taproom or Skokie Taproom, you’re helping fight back against ICE by supporting our work to build power across communities, organize throughout Illinois, and continue our ongoing Know Your Rights and rapid response work!
Thank you for your support and collaboration!

Is it Magic? No, we thought it tasted like fun dip. Phantasm of the Hopera IPA is back for the first time in years! This beer uses a calculated process, a science driven yeast and mega terps, a thiol enhanced hop blend with powder derived from Marlboro Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which together enhances and transforms flavonoids from the hops and malt into an incredibly tropical, juicy beer. Get it on tap in both locations and in very limited distribution around town. (7.8% ABV)

At last! We are so excited to tap Freedomish: Respect Existence or Expect Resistance! Centered around our purpose of standing up and speaking out for our immigrant friends, this fruited American wheat ale is curated with fruits native to Central and South America, including dragon fruit and Andean black berries, blueberries and raspberries. Stop in either taproom tomorrow to try a fresh pint! One dollar from each pint and 4-pack sold will be donated to the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights ().

Also, mark your calendars for two Freedomish celebrations in the coming weeks. Meet the brewers, hear the story behind this year’s brew, and enjoy Freedomish at Bitter Pops in Lakeview on Thursday, June 18 and at Nisei Lounge in Wrigleyville on Thursday, July 16. More details to come!
