WHERE I’M FROM™

HAZY IPA WITH VANILLA, TANGERINE & ORANGE PEEL

7.7% ABV

Where I'm From, our Hazy India Pale ale with vanilla, tangerine, and orange peel celebrates and supports an Evanston first: The City of Evanston Reparations Fund. The City of Evanston created the forward-thinking fund in 2019 to address, in part, wealth and opportunity gaps that Black Americans experience as a result of historical racism and discrimination. 100% of the proceeds for this beer go directly to the City of Evanston Reparations Fund. So far we've raised $15,500 and 16 recipients have been selected to receive $25,000 for housing.

The beer is an homage to the Digable Planets’ song of the same name. Evanstonians have fierce hometown pride so we are proudly proclaiming where we’re from — and where we’re going — through this beer.

Maia Faith, the Evanston artist who designed the label, says she “felt honored that Temperance entrusted me with bringing the visual representation of reparations in Evanston to life.” With her suitable-for-framing design, she explains the two characters are “separate yet connected,” and “as Evanston moves forward together, we are turning over a new and necessary leaf. When focusing specifically on the Black community, the tree signifies roots (history) and strength.” She goes on to explain the background “pale yellow/beige color makes one think of something old (the past)” while the “lush green of the leaves stands out, showing the possibility of life.” She concludes, “the leaves are not static, but rustling in the wind — the wind of change.”

We are proud to once again brew Where I'm From. Stop by for a fresh pour or grab a 4 pack to-go!
