STRING THINGS

Sparkle Carcass, self-proclaimed trailblazers of “Chicago Dive-Bar Country” blew through our shop and chopped it up with us about music, songwriting, and what it means to be an alt-country act in Chicago.

The String Thing IPA launch was pure energy—a night of music, community, and electric atmosphere at Hop Butcher’s taproom, with Ganser delivering a powerhouse performance.

Few things pair as perfectly as beer and live music. That’s why we teamed up with Chicago’s Hop Butcher For The World to create something that feels right at home on stage or in the crowd: String Thing IPA.

We caught Baroness on a day off from the first half of their tour playing their legendary first two albums Red & Blue in their entirety. Four our session, they crushed two tracks from Stone and followed those with incredible instrumental tracks off Red and Blue.
