Our goal is to provide you with an incredible drinking experience based on years of experimentation, observation, formulation, and fermentation. We are exceptionally proud of our flagship IPA, our Farmhouse Ale, and our Oatmeal Amber. We’re currently developing special release concoctions for some really nerdy venues in Chicago. For updates, follow us @hopothesis or to a local tavern.
Below is list of our current beers.
Our award-winning IPA is the first of many cerebral drinking experiences from Hopothesis Beer Company. This malt-forward, English-Style India Pale Ale is specifically formulated to be flavorful, and approachable. It can be easily paired with a variety of foods and you can drink more than one and still feel quite lucid. Enjoy.
The artwork for our IPA was inspired by a simple tool that has made many great discoveries possible: graph paper.

Sir Isaac Newton, friend of gravity and of gold, was also a politician — but not much of one. As a member of parliament in the late 1680’s he never waded into the partisan fray, only uttering a few words of complaint to an usher about a drafty window. We hope you enjoy our Drafty Window more than Newton enjoyed his.
Drafty Window embraces the true spirit of farmhouse ales. For the past two years, we’ve had fun experimenting with different hops, malts and yeast. We’ve honed in on a version that is complex, a little more spicy and even more quaffable. Look for it at your favorite retailer or restaurant.
