Something’s Brewing – Miskatonic Crafts Two New Beers for Billy Goat® Tavern & Grill
IPA and Pilsner Style Beers Now Available at Billy Goat Tavern & Grill Locations,
Pete’s Fresh Market Grocery, Woodman’s Market Grocery and Independent Retailers
Chicago, Illinois—June 25, 2020 – A long celebrated icon, Billy Goat Tavern & Grill has tapped Chicagoland’s very own Miskatonic Brewing Company for an exclusive line of Billy Goat Beer at retail. JRL Group, Inc., Billy Goat’s exclusive brand licensing agency, brokered the deal.
The Billy Goat Tavern & Grill, home of the Cheezborger! Cheezborger! Cheezborger!™, began bringing the Billy Goat experience to grocers with its world famous burgers in April of 2017. Now, those who can’t get to the restaurants as often as they’d like, can grill up a Billy Goat style burger and crack open a Billy Goat IPA and Pilsner beer at home! “Some customers actually come in every day, others have said they wish they could!”, said Bill Sianis, one of Billy Goat Tavern & Grill’s owners. “We are happy to be able to bring the experience home for those who can’t make it here as often as they’d like,” he added.
The special recipe IPA and Pilsner Billy Goat beers were created by the team at Miskatonic Brewing, lead by the brewery’s co-founder, Josh Mowry. “We are excited to have partnered with this Chicago legend! We’ve created two outstanding beers that can be enjoyed on their own or alongside a delicious burger,“ Mowry said.
At 7% ABV (alcohol by volume), Miskatonic describes the IPA as hoppy and delicious. The 5.3% ABV Pilsner is referred to by its brewers as crisp and refreshing. The IPA and Pilsner styles are brewed at Miskatonic’s Brewery in Darien, Illinois. Both styles are served alongside “No Fries, Cheeps!”™ on tap or in cans at Billy Goat Tavern & Grill locations, and are also available at Pete’s Fresh Market, Woodman’s Food Market, and other independent retailers throughout Illinois.
Billy Goat Tavern & Grill frozen burgers are available at Walmart, Mariano’s, Pete’s Fresh Market and other local grocers.
