Everyone knows Chicago was the codename for Windows 95. But did you know O’Hare was the codename for IE 1.0, which arrived the same day as Chicago? IE 1.0 was part of the Win 95 Plus Pack (codenamed Frosting). And the OSR2 release of Windows 95: Detroit. Those were the fun old codename days. (Memphis = Windows 98.

Japas Cervejaria, based in Sao Paulo, is a women-owned brewery that uses some Asian ingredients in making a variety of styles of beer. Their Kasato Maru, named for the first ship that brough Japanese immigrants to Brazil, is a New England IPA that adds Dekopon (a satsuma type orange). This brewery is increasing its distribution in the U.S. and is brewing some beer in Chicago right now. If you see anything from them, it’s worth a try. A bit off the beaten path, plus supporting women brewers!
