Hopewell Seasonal 4Pk

Hopewell Seasonal 4Pk is a rotating seasonal beer release from Chicago's Hopewell Brewing Co., packaged as a four-pack of small-batch brews that change throughout the year. Because the brewery produces limited seasonal recipes each quarter, these packs highlight styles and ingredients tied to the current season — making each release a snapshot of what Hopewell's brewing team is focused on at that moment.

Production & Heritage

Hopewell Brewing Co. operates out of the Logan Square neighborhood on Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago. The brewery has built its reputation on what it describes as a thoughtful approach to brewing bright, balanced, and easy-going beers. Not every small-batch seasonal recipe makes it into cans, so the Seasonal 4-Pack represents selections the brewing team considers strong enough to package for off-premise enjoyment. Because contents rotate, specific production details — grain bills, hop varieties, yeast strains — shift from release to release.

Tasting Notes

Note: Because this is a rotating seasonal release, specific tasting notes change with each edition. Hopewell's house style consistently emphasizes brightness, balance, and drinkability across their range. Past seasonal releases from the brewery have spanned lagers, pale ales, and other approachable styles, all brewed in small batches at their Chicago facility. For the most accurate flavor profile, check the specific seasonal variant printed on the current packaging.

How to Drink Hopewell Seasonal

Pour into a clean pint glass or tulip glass at refrigerator temperature — around 38–42°F — and allow it a few minutes to open up. Hopewell's balanced brewing style generally rewards straightforward drinking without heavy food or garnish intervention. Given the rotating nature of these seasonals, lighter warm-weather releases pair naturally with casual outdoor drinking, while richer cold-weather editions hold up alongside heartier meals.
