Aired on Thursday, November 21, 2024, at 8 PM ET for a music-fueled craft beer adventure on the Wish You Were Beer Show as we feature Mikerphone Brewing from Elk Grove Village, Illinois—one of the most innovative and creative breweries in the Midwest 🍻

We’re cracking open Say Me Fantastic, a tropical Double IPA brewed with pineapple, that hits all the right notes with juicy, bold flavor and a smooth finish. Named after a lyric from Shaggy’s 90s hit Mr. Boombastic, this beer perfectly embodies Mikerphone Brewing’s signature blend of music, creativity, and hops.

Founded by Mike and Lisa Pallen, this family-owned brewery started in a basement and grew into an award-winning name in the craft beer world—named Best New Brewery in Illinois by RateBeer and recognized as one of the Best New Breweries in the World by Beer Advocate.

A double IPA with a tropical twist, featuring real pineapple, lush aromatics, and a vibrant, juicy finish. A must-try for fans of hazy, fruity IPAs and adventurous brews.
