The holidays are just around the corner and at Mightybytes that can mean just one thing: Mightybrew!
Yes, it’s been a holiday tradition since 2008 that we brew beer to share in the spirit of the season with friends, family, and co-workers. This holiday season was no exception and we brewed two pale ales: one west coast-style and one India-style.

Celebrating Mightybrew’s Three Beer Anniversary and the Opening of Brew Camp. Let’s Make Beer!

Cold and tasty, the new Mightybrew selections were home-brewed, bottled, capped, and hand-labeled by the crew just in time for the Return on Engagement Book Launch party.
As doors opened on the party, over 200 beers were ready for thirsty partygoers. Extreme Chicago heat during the event and a shaky performance by the central air in our new space led to repeat ice cooler visits by sweaty attendees and the near complete decimation of our supply.
The beers were named during regular company meetings over the past few weeks and labels created mere hours before our shindig.
What did we discover? This batch tastes even better than last year’s batch.
