November 21: Save the Brand Brewery
by Staff
Join Forgotten Chicago for a fun evening of brews and information about
Chicago’s brewing history and efforts to save the historic Brand Brewing
complex on Elston.
The historic _Brand Brewery_
(http://forgottenchicago.com/articles/bygone-breweries/) faces imminent demolition for a _big-box retailer._
(http://www.oururbantimes.com/development/should-historic-elston-ave-brewing-complex-be-d
estroyed-big-box-retailer) As one of Chicago’s last and most visible
brewing remnants (located at 2530 N. Elston), the loss of Brand would create a
large void in the city’s historic fabric.
With time running out, Forgotten Chicago is co-sponsoring an event at
_Revolution Brewing_ (http://revbrew.com/) to raise awareness of the brewery’s
history and potential fate. Come out and join us for an evening of
Revolution brews, appetizers, and a presentation including photos and speakers who
will discuss the history and future of Brand Brewing as well as what you
can do to help save it.
When? Monday, November 21, 7-9 PM.
Where? _Revolution Brewing,_ (http://revbrew.com/) 2323 N. Milwaukee,
Chicago.
How much? $20/person in advance, $25 at the door (if available!).
What’s included? Two hours of unlimited Revolution beers and appetizers,
as well as the opportunity to learn about the history and future of the
Brand Brewing complex.
