Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago.

On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White are ready for Oktoberfest as they crack open their first Oktoberfest of the season: Old Irving Brewing’s Oktoberfest. Brad picked up these cans when he hit up the brewpub to check out the Biker Dude burger collaboration. The OIB Oktoberfest is a great way to kick off the season, as the guys have plenty more to try over the next month or so. Brad and Nik also chatted about how Ravinia Brewing will be changing its name, so they tossed out a few ideas.
