Item Description
Laurin Mack of Seipp's Beer offers up this awesome craft beer package, which includes a 6 pack of each of their flagships brews: their Extra Pale and Columbia Special Release. Also included is a pair of glasses and tea towels, a Seipp's t-shirt, and a postcard.
The Conrad Seipp Brewing Company, once the largest brewery in Chicago, is back after nearly a century hiatus. Eighty-seven years after the brewery’s closure, Seipp’s great-great-great-granddaughter, Laurin Mack, has revived her family’s beer company and brought Seipp’s beer back to Chicago.
Founded in Chicago in 1854 by a German immigrant, Conrad Seipp, The Conrad Seipp Brewing Company was one of the first breweries in Chicago. When the Chicago Fire devastated the city, Seipp’s was one of the few breweries to survive. Seipp’s beer was the beer of choice for workers as they rebuilt the great American city. Seipp was a dominant player in the U.S. brewing industry, producing over 250,000 barrels at the brewery’s peak. As with so many American breweries, it was unable to survive the impact of WWI and Prohibition and closed its doors in 1933.
Mack partnered with Metropolitan Brewing, one of Chicago’s best breweries, to brew Seipp’s beer. Together they have recrafted Seipp’s Extra Pale, one of Seipp’s most popular brands which is a pre-prohibition Pilsner describes brewed with traditional North American malted barley, corn, and heritage hops varieties. They also recently released Seipp’s Columbia which was a dark larger originally brewed for the 1893 World’s Fair. Seipp’s Columbia was released this year on March 4th to celebrate Chicago’s birthday. Mack said that their intention of reviving Seipp’s Columbia is “to celebrate the continued perseverance of Chicago and the people who love it.”
Seipp's beer is about connecting to the past but also appreciating the moment. It is available at select locations throughout Chicagoland, Lake Geneva and Milwaukee.
