Posted on May 14, 2025

*Let’s celebrate! See you on May 31 at Lil’ Beaver Brewery.*

BLOOMINGTON—The celebration is on at Lil’ Beaver Brewery, as WJBC plans to celebrate its 100th anniversary with a new beer.

Celebrate with WJBC’s on-air host and friends with a limited-edition beer.

The celebration is at Lil’ Beaver Brewery on May 31 from noon until 2 p.m.

During the celebration party, listeners can purchase meal specials like burgers and house-made chips for the Scott Miller meal while enjoying the ‘spirit of McLean County.’

Only 1,230 cans of this limited edition Kolsch beer will be produced, so once they are gone, they are gone.

Lil’ Beaver Brewery is at 5 Finance Dr., Bloomington, IL.

Stay tuned to WJBC to win a table at the massive party alongside a $50 gift card.
