Warrenville, IL – Two Chicago craft beer mainstays, Two Brothers Brewing Company and Metropolitan Brewing, are coming together to create a new craft beer collaboration.

False Dichotomy is an India Pale Lager currently being brewed at the Two Brothers brewery in Warrenville, IL with lager yeast from Metropolitan Brewing and a variety of new and exciting hops.

“Two Brothers and Metropolitan have 26 years of combined brewing prowess and have been an integral part of the Chicago craft beer scene from the beginning,” Two Brothers Brewing Company co-founder Jason Ebel said. “This is a great opportunity to come together and showcase a Chicago beer we brewed with our good friends at Metropolitan.”

Set to be released in early March, False Dichotomy will be the first collaboration between the two Chicago craft beer breweries. Release parties are scheduled for March 3 at the Noble House in Geneva (7-9 p.m.) and Jake Melnick’s in Chicago (6-8 p.m.).

“The Metropolitan Brewing team has always admired and enjoyed the beers brewed at Two Brothers Brewing,” said Tracy Hurst, president and CEO of Metropolitan Brewing. “Since Metro’s founding in 2007, the team has paid close attention to the brothers’ sense of innovation, dedication to quality and steady success. Finally, the two teams have joined forces to brew a beer drinkers have been requesting for years.”

False Dichotomy will be available in 6-pack bottles and on tap throughout the Chicagoland area.
