Rabid Brewing in Homewood, Illinois, just announced they will be moving to a new, larger location and adding a kitchen, dining room, private event space, and patio. At a time when breweries are facing increasing challenges, Rabid founders Raiye Rosado and Tobias Cichon are dreaming big.

Rabid Brewing’s annual Feast of the Goat Queen celebrates all things weird and wondrous. Described as a Ren Faire for Fae Folk, it features burlesque, wrestling, fire dancing, and more. It also marks the release of Crown of Horns Chocolate Cream Ale brewed with Malah Na Bulong Philippine cacao.

Fantasy and mythology drive much of what husband and wife team Tobias Cichon and Raiye Rosado do at Rabid Brewing. As the brewery celebrates their 4th anniversary, I sat down with the pair to talk about the passion behind their brewery, the mythological backstories behind their beers, and the sense of adventure the keeps them pursuing their dream.
