Chicago Beer Pass: Italian Ice Season

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 have themselves a really fun beer from Hopewell Brewing. This citrus lager was brewer to resemble a Lemon Italian Ice, a lightly tart Lager fruited with Meyer lemon... such a fun drink!

Now with Illinois Craft Beer Week behind us, the guys recap a couple events that took place last week including Beer Under Glass and Mayfestiversary. The guys have a handful of news they heard from Beer Under Glass as well as some stand out beers that might be worth looking for if you're on a hunt this Sumer for something new. Nik also shares a bit about his adventure to Miskatonic Brewing Company. Finally, the guys wrap things up with a bit of news including a couple new breweries opening in Chicago.

London Lovecraft Festival: A Teatrichal Celebration of the Works and Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft. February 3-9, 2019 at The Old Red Lion Theatre, 418 St. John Street, London, UK. Info: oldredliontheatre.co.uk; londonlovecraft.com.

Taking place over seven nights, the festival will have original and gently-loved productions presented to London audiences deep in the depths of darkest pub theatredom. With world premieres as well as tried and true creations, both Lovecraft novices and deeper initiates should find their palates tickled and their brains disturbed.

6:00pm Sunday, February 3rd Pickman’s Model Meet Richard Upton Pickman, an artist shunned by the establishment because of his horrifying paintings. But what kind of company has Pickman been keeping? And who — or what — pays a visit to his studio on one terrifying evening? The story is perfect material for Nunkie Theatre — one-man performances by Robert Lloyd Parry, who is best known for his adaptations of the work of PD James. He’s an amazing actor, with a real talent for bringing a story to life and sending a shiver down your spine. Although this is a rehearsed reading, the fright factor should be very high as the original story is one of Lovecraft’s best and Parry is an expert at filling intimate spaces with lurking horror.

7:30pm Sunday 3rd Night of 1000 Tentacles Clocktopus Cabaret presents: Night of 1000 Tentacles! On their second expedition,  Captain Bang Bang and her trustworthy first mate, Stormina Teacup, set out for eldritch realms. Join them and a host of London burlesque and cabaret favorites, including Dolly Trolly with a brand new Lovecraft themed act, and necromantic sorcerer – er, magician – Chris Benkin with his sleight of tentacle, for an outstanding steampunk/transdimensional night of wonders. You will gasp, you will gibber, you will wonder … where did they hide those eyeballs?

9:15 PM Sunday 3rd Cool Air Dr. Muñoz has spent their life battling the forces of death. When Miskatonic University student Natalie Peaslee comes looking for help for her heart, she has no idea how far Muñoz will go to win that fight. As summer rages, they’ll both need to keep a cool head to make it out of Arkham alive. This staged reading directed by Emma Muir Smith marks the European debut of Ron Sandahl’s stage adaptation, originally presented at Seattle’s Open Circle Theatre in 2005.

7:00pm Monday 4th Lovecraft Shivers Do you like stories that make the hairs stand up at the back of your neck? Sam Enthoven’s Shivers nights have been giving aficionados that sensation of spiders down the spine for more than a year now. Sam picks and adapts the finest frightening literature and finds great performers to read it. The twist with Shivers is that these tales are then paired with live sounds from his uniquely uncanny instrument, the theremin, and some of the best up-and-coming artists from London’s experimental music scene. The result is a kind of cinema for the ears and imagination, with storytelling and sound combining to draw you irresistibly in, to reach cold fingers into your mind, to give you Shivers. The stories of H.P. Lovecraft have, naturally, featured at previous Shivers nights. We’ve performed From Beyond in the chapel of Abney Park Cemetery and Dagon in the hold of Spanish galleon The Golden Hinde. The opportunity, however, to put together a new all-Lovecraft Shivers for the festival that celebrates Horror’s dark prince himself is, like his legacy, irresistible. We look forward to scaring you.

7:00pm Monday 4th Albertina West: Reanimator Schoolmates Albertina West and Carla Milburn are scientists in  pursuit of knowledge – about reanimating the dead. But when the formula only seems to work on the freshest of bodies, it’s a small step to take from robbing graves to murder. And for some reason, the awakened dead don’t seem very happy about it… In this work commissioned especially for the London Lovecraft Festival, TL Wiswell extends her suite of genderswitched Lovecraft tales to this perennial favorite. Come and see a play Borne and Walk (but not come back for revenge).

7:00pm Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th Providence “Life is a hideous thing.” Prepare to be amazed, terrified, and driven insane! Great Cthulhu may be sleeping beneath the sea, but in Providence, Rhode Island, Lovecraft can’t get a wink. Join the morose and miserable Howard Phillips Lovecraft, author of ‘The Call of Cthulhu’, ‘Shadow Over Innsmouth’ and other incredibly weird tales, as he contemplates the many mistakes that make up his life. His father went mad when he was four. He suffered a mental breakdown when he was eighteen. He lived with his overprotective mother until he was thirty. He loathed seafood, loved coffee and hated immigrants. Indeed he despised anyone who wasn’t an 18th century English Gentleman.  But he hated himself most of all. Lovecraft’s losses were fortunately our gains as his enigmatic, tortured mind gave birth to a body of work we now consider as the foundations of the modern horror genre. Using physical comedy, live music and all the classic horror tropes you can rattle a chain at, Dominic Allen (Belt-Up, A Common Man) and Simon Maeder (Superbolt Theatre) explore a wretched life and ask a haunting question: can any love be salvaged from one so filled with hate? Winner of Vaults Festival ‘Pick of the Week’ award.

9:00pm Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th The Lurking Fear and other stories Nestled in amongst the Catskills, sits Tempest Mountain. Far from a vacation destination. This mountain is shrouded in death and destruction. At the heart of all the horror, sitting empty and imposing atop the mountain, is the legendary House of Martense. No-one from the town below, that lies quivering in the shadow of the Martense mansion, ever dares venture up there. Especially when there’s a storm brewing. That is until an inquisitive young journalist, with a self-confessed ‘Love of the grotesque and horrible’, finds herself alone, following the trail of what the locals will only call “The Lurking Fear”. Broken Word Productions Presents The Lurking Fear and Other Stories, an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Lurking Fear”, as well as an introduction to some of his shorter stories. With the aid of puppetry and storytelling, follow our Hero as she faces one of Lovecraft’s deadliest monsters. This is Broken Word’s second theatre production, following it’s 4 star debut with Train Journey at the Camden Fringe earlier this year. They are excited to be taking, somewhat of a darker turn in presenting the World Premiere of (in their opinion) not one, but two of Lovecraft’s finest horrors.

9:00pm Thursday 7th The Witching Hour Montague Rhodes James returns with another selection of unsettling tales of antiquarian terror! Brave the horrors lying in wait within “An Episode of Cathedral History”! Witness the spectral malevolent seeking revenge in “A Warning to the Curious”! One-man show and follow-up to our successful touring production of “Old Haunts”. Jonathan Goodwin plays M.R. James in a show scripted by himself, and directed by Gary Archer.

7:00pm Thursday 7th Lovecraft After Dark Allow the cosmic horror of Howard Philip Lovecraft to envelop your senses and blast your imagination! At any moment, the terrors of the Ancient Ones may be unleashed upon the world. The Elder Gods scrutinise our every deed, awaiting their opportunity to reclaim what was once theirs. Madness will be a blessing to those mere mortals who witness the crawling chaos soon to be released upon mankind! Jonathan Goodwin plays Cornelius Pike in Lovecraft After Dark. The show is scripted by Goodwin, and co-directed by Goodwin and Gary Archer.

7:00pm Friday 8th & Saturday 9th 3:00pm Saturday 9th Late Night with Cthuhlu It’s been a few hundred years since the Great Old Ones awoke from their ancient slumber and enslaved humanity. Yet somehow, against all the odds, life has gone back to normal…ish. Thankfully, the people of London now have something to look forward to at the end of a long day of suffering and toiling. A being known only as THE PRODUCER has ordered the city’s best Television Station (or maybe the city’s *only* television station) be reopened, and for the broadcast of a new state-approved talk show “Late Night With Cthulhu” to stretch its tendrils onto the airwaves. Join your hosts Arabella Fenneck Reid and Sebastian Baxter Thompson for the newest instalment of your new favourite (and mandatory) evening of post-apocalyptic light entertainment. Late Night With Cthulhu is a heart-shuddering romp through a world after the return of the Great Ones. So come along and tune in for an evening of all stars, guest stars, and things beyond the stars! If you’re lucky, you might just go insane…” Trigger warnings: Strobe Lights, Loud Noises, Creeping Dread.

5:00pm Saturday 9th Writing Lovecraft A rehearsed reading of the winning play written for the London Lovecraft Festival.

9:00pm Friday 8th and Saturday 9th The Colour Out of Space With their signature live-Foley treatment, Shedload bring the already potent storytelling of Lovecraft to life through a carefully structured mix of live readings by highly-trained and experienced actors, and sound effects, performed by our very own Foley experts. For this, we rely on a whole ‘shed’s’ worth of sound makers, including every day items such as gardening tools, coal scuttles and salad spinners, as well as more niche instruments such as the ‘sea hoops’, grapefruit (and other choice fruit & veg items), and our prized possession: the Waterphone; an instrument that will no doubt be familiar to every horror film fan. So picture the scene – a dimly-lit stage, with a set comprising Arkham’s town sign and boundaries; a lone narrator, centre stage, using to great effect Lovecraft’s faithfully-adapted writing to describe the horror of the disintegrating farm animals before him – but hang on! – not only are you picturing this, you’re hearing it too: A pig barks out its last rattling breath as its skull collapses – its rotting flesh spills out onto the ground… – voice actor, red pepper, grapefruit, and a hammer – The RØDE mic does the rest. Chilling screams from the attic, complete with nails scratching on wooden floorboard, and the palpable wail of the strange celestial matter plaguing the farm… namely, The Colour out of Space.

12:00pm through 10:00pm, Sunday 3rd through Saturday 9th Patient 4620 Gretel Sauerbrot: a once famous artist, admitted to the Raventhorne Institution and then never heard from again. You are invited to the Royal Museum of Contemporary Art, and through a series of audio guides you explore and uncover clues to Gretel’s past. This unique theatre show is a blend of immersive theatre, auditory storytelling, and art installation; resulting in a rich and sensory experience that won’t be easily forgotten. To experience the show at its fullest, audiences should bring a Smartphone or WiFi enabled device, along with a headset. In the event you cannot provide your own device and/or headset, you will be loaned items on entering the show.

Playing a pretty kickass show with @radar_chicago on March 2nd! 20 Vinyl copies of “DIRT” will be available at this show. In the case that we sell out of them that night, you can preorder more there and we will ship it or hand deliver it to you. Also we will be performing “#DIRT” in its entirety! So get there early and get yourself 180 grams of #TrashRock! . . . . #MiskatonicBrewing #livemusic #yeahbrother (at Miskatonic Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtT7TfPhuhAOWAyrm2Pj5IgxlXZOUcveOtRtds0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u0rh4qf5kf5m

Arplis - News: Miskatonic Monday: November 2020 titles abound

It's Miskatonic Monday, so here is the latest selection of new titles in the Miskatonic Repository, our community content platform for independent Call of Cthulhu creators at DriveThruRPG! Sorrow in Tsavo Bridgett Jeffries ($2.99, 43 page PDF) Welcome to 1898 Kenya. The British are building a railway bridge over the River Tsavo to solidify their position of trade and wealth in the region. The Investigators serve as leaders to the project. In addition to social dissonance and illness within the camp, a pair of man-eating lions known as “The Ghost” and “The Darkness” are stalking and brutally killing members of the construction crew. What happened to those 30 crewmen that disappeared overnight? Who, or what, sent the lions into camp? Sorrow in Tsavo’s play style is story driven, sandbox, and combat light. Endless Light Allan Carey ($8.99, 31 page PDF) "On the craggy island of Midland Skerry stands a Lighthouse, ensuring the safe passage of ships and sailors that ply this treacherous coast. But as the waves crash and a storm brews, something dark stirs beneath the island..." Brought to you by award winning Chaosium licensee, Type40. Designed to be played in a single evening of terror with 4 - 5 players. Endless Light is the second scenario from their new monthly "Seeds of Terror" range. You can find the first scenario The Mummy of Pemberley Grange here. The Witches of Navarre Paul Zane and Amy Zane ($10.00, 30 page PDF) The Witches of Navarre takes place in 17th Century Spain following events arising from theBasque Witch Trials of 1609. In 1611, Alonso de Salazar Frías is instructed by the Holy Office of the Inquisition to further investigate the accusations of witchcraft within the communities of Navarre. His mission is to interrogate alleged witches and determine if their statements tally. In January 1612, Salazar attests to the Grand Inquisitor "I have not found [any proof&91; that [even&91; one act of witchcraft has actually taken place…” though the truth that the players, Salazar’s investigative team, uncover in 1611 is far more malevolent than he would ever say. For the Love Of... Jon Hook ($3.00, 24 page PDF) You and your companions are recognized as local experts in things strange and unusual, which is why Dective Harden has asked you and your team to consult on the murder of Arkham socialite, Eugene Saltonstall. For the crime scene defies all resonable explanation, and is more aptly described as something strange and unusual. Drained of blood and torn to pieces, the murder of Eugene Saltonstall is something the Arkham Police Department is not trained to understand and unprepared to handle. Hopefully you're up for the task! A Greater Goal - a Zgrozy scenario Marek Golonka, Piotr Kozioł, Keith Mageau ($2.99, 16 page PDF) The Star-Seekers were a group of heretical monks who stumbled upon traces of the Cthulhu Mythos lore centuries ago. It made them doubt the Christian God and try to understand and influence the world’s true nature. Their search ended successfully, but it turned out that cosmic revelations were too much for them... A standalone scenario by default set in the Roaring Twenties, anywhere around the world, and can be played over the course of one session. To run this scenario as a one-shot you can use Zgrozy's Investigator Archetypes for Zgrozy, available here as a pay-what-you-want product. A Greater Goal is the eighth English release in the Zgrozy line.  Deviletarium - a Zgrozy supplement Michał Gralak, Michał Podłubny, Marek Golonka, Sylwester Gdela ($1.49, 9 page PDF) Deviletarium features: a description of an Outsider – a cosmic explorer that tours between the worlds encased in his exoskeleton; a description of an Immortal – a cursed being that was reborn due to the machinations of mysterious, nightmarish creatures; a description of an Outcast – Atlach-Nacha's wayward daughter, ready to hunt weak-willed mortals. The Strange Case of Mr Cardew Raphael Merriman (Pay-What-You-Want; suggested price Free; 9 page PDF) Raymond Cardew, founder and owner of Cardew Enterprises, a company specialising in rare minerals, died from a heart attack. His funeral service was well-attended, and The Times ran an obituary on him. Everyone loved him. But a chance discovery by his widow led to suspicions about the cause of death, and Mr Cardew was subject to an exhumation order. But when they dug the coffin up, it was empty! It’s up to a group of investigators to discover what happened to the body, and solve…The Strange Case of Mr Cardew! Mythos Explorers #1 - Door to the Sky (Pamphlet Adventure) Fábio Silva ($2.00, 2 page PDF) An astronomer from Miskatonic University disappears while making some lunar studying, in her home observatory. On her last contact, she talks about discovering something incredible. The MU financed the final part of the research and now fears that she is a charlatan. The University contacts Investigators to check Loretta’s home for answers to her disappearance after funding her research. This is a pamphlet with an adventure structure – Print, fold, and play. A few minutes of reading, some hours of fun. The Cabin in the Woods (Pamphlet Adventure) Fábio Silva ($2.00, 2 page PDF) A group of people spends some time in a cabin, far away from the city, to party with alcohol (banned in the 1920s), camp, and hunt in the woods. After a while, some strange events occur in the cabin, and the wood surrounds the area. This scenario can be used by the Keeper to introduce a new group of Investigators that have their first contact with the Mythos. This is a pamphlet with an adventure structure – Print, fold, and play. A few minutes of reading, some hours of fun. Arkham Brochure Adrian Kennelly ($0.99, 2 page PDF) This two-page PDF is intended to be printed out double sided and folded into a brochure, one that has been issued by Arkham's chamber of commerce. It's intended to be used a game prop and is designed for use in the 1920s setting. The brochure itself is based on a similar one found in Kingsport: The City in the Mists, but promoting Arkham instead. A Friend Jul Jndo ($4.80, 79 page PDF) United States, New England, Durham, 1937. They were eleven. Eleven kids the same age, always together, pulling all sorts of pranks and bullshits. A tight-knit group that nothing could break. Nothing but life and war… Twenty years later on October 18, 1957, a call announced that one of theirs had died, Jeff, found murdered in strange and unnatural circumstances. What really happened? Back in Durham for the funeral, something does not feel right. Is someone threatening them? Is someone or something in a quest for revenge? From afar, he is watching them. And he knows he can count on his FRIEND. Test Subjects Michael Fryda ($3.00, 21 page PDF) Are you brave enough to explore the Boston underground? This 21-page exploratory sandbox scenario pits 1920s  Investigators against a hidden foe. What will happen when a job in a newspaper advertisement leads to strange places? Will you feed your curiosity with only an electric torch to light your way? Will you seek help from locals? Will you flee? For a great look at what you get, creator Michael Fryda has produced a YouTube video showing what's inside his Miskatonic Repository release, Test Subjects: Want to take part in the Miskatonic Repository yourself?
