One of the nearly 400 locations across the state where you can find the current issue of Illinois Brewing magazine is @begylebrewing in Chicago’s North Center/Ravenswood neighborhood (aka Malt Row) where these two lovely ladies poured us a pint of the new batch of Lovely Afternoon, a seasonal pale ale that’s one of our favorites. Just a short walk from Wrigley, Begyle is a perfect pit stop on the way to or from a Cubs game

If you don't listen to Dave Zalatoris' weekly @beerinfront podcast, you're missing out. That's especially the case this week, as he explores the remarkable history of the American tavern — with a special focus on Chicago, a city that once boasted more than 8,000 saloons — and examines the economic, cultural and social changes that have transformed America's drinking culture... and are threatening the future of the beloved neighborhood tavern. Check out the podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beer-in-front/id1500155339?i=1000778468376
