The whirlwind weekend included a five-course meal at TWO Restaurant, a free Mikal Cronin concert, a mansion full of beer, and a self-guided tour through one of Chicago’s coolest neighborhoods.

Throughout the 80’s and 90’s, then Goose Island Brewmaster Greg Hall would regularly travel to renowned European beer cities like Munich, Brussels, and London for inspiration on how to bring great beer to the United States.
