UKG Beers on Tap list for 2026 CHAOS BrewBQ

UKG Social Event @ Riverlands Brewing

At Riverlands, we brew the beer that we love. We’re inspired both by balance, and the lack thereof. We appreciate beers of all kinds, from clean, crisp lagers, to the huge hop aroma and flavor of a New England Style IPA, thick flavored stouts, and tart, fruity sours. We refuse to pigeonhole ourselves into one style or simply follow the latest trends. We pour ourselves into each batch we make, each glass we fill. You’ll never find a beer from Riverlands that was not obsessed over from the time the recipe was constructed, to the moment it finds its way to your table.

Located at 1860 Dean St Unit A, St. Charles, IL

UKG Social Event @ Ike & Oak Brewing

Ike & Oak Brewing Co. is an independently owned local craft brewery featuring handmade artisan pizza. We pride ourselves on bringing together friends, families, and neighbors to share our passion for crafting the highest quality beer and food to create a stronger community.

Located at 6315 Main St, Woodridge, IL

Monthly Tech Topic

Optimizing Your Brewing will be the Tech Topic at the next UKG meeting

Randy Mosher talk

Modern Sensory Science and the Art of Homebrewing 
Randy Mosher has spent the last six years in his writer’s dungeon researching and writing a book called Your Tasting Brain: A Sensory Approach to Wine, Beer and Other Pleasures, which covers every imaginable aspect of tasting and flavor creation. Really two sides of the same coin, understanding these two activities are key to brewing delicious beer. The science has been moving very rapidly over the last decade or two, so there’s something new—and useful— here for every level of brewer.
About Randy Mosher
Author of Tasting Beer, Radical Brewing and other books, Randy Mosher is a creative consultant specializing in food and drink as well as a partner in Forbidden Root, a botanically-inspired brewery with locations in Chicago and Columbus Ohio.
Randy will be bringing copies of the new book to sell and sign, plus some of my other books in case anyone’s interested.
