Join our friends at Goose Island Clybourn (1800 N. Clybourn) for Stout Fest ‘23 on March 19^th from 3-6 p.m. To purchase tickets, please go here.

It’s a great opportunity to experience Goose Island’s original brewhouse before the company relocates to the Salt Shed later this year.

The ticket price includes a 2023 souvenir glass, passed small bites, and samples from twenty-five breweries.

It’s exciting that four of our member businesses are participating: Revolution Brewing, Ravinia Brewing, Maplewood Brewery and Distillery, and Off Color Brewing.

And you’ll be able to vote and see who takes home the coveted Stout Fest trophy.

Also, please save the date for North Branch Works annual breweries and distillery tour.

It will be held on April 27^th and feature stops at Goose Island Brewery, Judson and Moore Distillery, and Maplewood Brewery.

Breweries and distilleries are great examples of how manufacturing has expanded from large companies to smaller scale businesses.

We’re thrilled to have seven of them in the North Branch and grateful for the opportunity to advocate for and promote them.
