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

Between the happy hour specials, $5 drafts and stellar pizza at @crustbrewing and the free concerts and fireworks at @parkwaybankpark … Thursday nights are pretty tough to beat in @villageofrosemont

Always a solid choice for local craft beer, people watching, boat envy and feeling like a tourist for a few hours is the @chicagobrewhouseriverwalk on the Chicago Riverwalk

Beers enjoyed tonight included @spitefulbrewing Bleacher Bum peach blonde ale, @oldirvingbrewing Beezer hazy IPA, and a @rightbeecider offering

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.

Plans this weekend? @streetzartzalliance is hosting a Summerween Market at @soundgrowler Brewing Co. this Saturday, July 25

Head to Tinley Park from 12-5 p.m. for one seriously spooky artisan market — where Halloween meets summer vibes. Expect eerie art, creepy crafts, and ghoulishly good items from a lineup of local makers.

Come in costume (or not), grab a cold beer and celebrate the spooky season a little early with the folks from Streetz Artz Alliance.
