Cheese pizza is the house lager of the pizza world. Try the cheese pizza or the house lager to figure out how good the spot is. If they do either of those well, move forward confidently.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!! Coming up on Thursday, May 14th, we’ll be hosting a Keep the Glass Night and lowkey 13th Anniversary celebration at Mousetrap. There are a couple of dates we throw around as the start of Off Color Brewing and May 14th is one of them, so should throw a party.

Sometimes we get to be part of very cool projects. This is definitely one of them.

We already let our email subscribers know, but we’ll catch you up over here. PRE-ORDER IS NOW LIVE!! Pistachios, our cream ale with vanilla and pistachios, releases at Mousetrap Friday at noon. Pre-order link below. app.upserve.com/s/off-color-br…

New beer drops April 30th! Public radio, news, & the freedom of the press are under attack and if we don’t want to see them disappear, our collective support of each is of vital importance. In that spirit, we have come together with @WBEZ to brew a beer for public media lovers.

We rarely capitulate to customer demands so people better show out for this one 😹

Are you going to can Pistachios? When are you going to can Pistachios? Why haven’t you canned Pistachios yet? Honestly for the last 2 years, it feels like we have a bunch of pistachio lobby equivalent of Chewlies Gum Reps up in the taproom trying to drum up demand for this beer.

You know when Cardboard Rob Tod starts popping up in different rooms around Mousetrap — scaring the heck out of our taproom staff with his stoic silence and unexpected Annabelle type movements — that Allagash Brewing Saison Day is approaching 😊

Next up in the OC Book Club is one of our favorite books from 2022. In this wildly entertaining and m hard-hitting debut novel, Sara Nović navigates the complexities of boarding school, class, race and eugenics all through the eyes and experiences of the deaf community.

Chicago baseball is back ….

First time at phase three.

One rule for today. Whether we watch College Basketball or not, we bet on every game. Out of respect for the kids. Can't have them out there playing for nothing. Be somebody.

This may have been retribution for the fact that she went to the original scream in the theater as an underage 14-year—old in 1996.

My 43-year-old wife got carded to go into an R rated movie at 2 o’clock on a Tuesday 😂

I am 100% a sumo citrus evangelist. The shit will change the world.

Not many breweries with top three year round lineup that punch as hard as @3floyds. Three iconic beers.

@brandonrifkin They’ll go online after the event. We got plenty.

@BenUstick Can I buy a deck if I can’t make the event? Or in person only?

This is so amazing. I’ve wanted to do this for so long. Can’t believe we finally got it together and did it.

To build some buzz for the new deck of Off Color playing cards and the Playing Card night we’re hosting next Thursday at @ocmousetrap, we’re gonna do a thread of the entire deck. Tickets For Event Here: app.upserve.com/s/off-color-br…
