Brooklyn Brewery Mash is a week-long traveling festival with parties, art, comedy, screenings, discussions, pop-up supperclubs, all featuring everyone’s favorite beverage. Chicago is one of eight cities across America and Europe that Brooklyn Brewery chose to throw this party and we’re very excited to spend a week celebrating with them. We hope you’ll join us at some events, too!
Brooklyn Brewery is all about community and collaboration; coming together to create something exciting. This is their third Mash tour and third time bringing it to the streets of Chicago.

Late July means two things in Chicago: heat and Pitchfork Music Festival. Last weekend, both descended upon the west side’s Union Park for three days of music, which included both up-and-coming bands and festival circuit veterans. The 10th edition of the Pitchfork Music Festival wasn’t all smooth sailing though as torrential thunderstorms resulted in a brief closure of the festival, but when the rain moved on, Pitchfork Fest reopened and the rest of the weekend was a little steamy but clear and sunny.

This month marks the 100th anniversary of the Eastland Disaster, the largest loss of life tragedy in Chicago’s history. Unfortunately, this day is largely lost to the collective Chicagoan memory but one organization, the Eastland Disaster Historical Society is working hard to change that.
They’ve partnered with Liz Garibay of History on Tap and Ale Syndicate to brew a commemorative imperial pilsner, crafted in honor of the 844 people who lost their lives on July 24, 1915 during the S.S. Eastland Disaster in the Chicago River. On Friday July 24th at 8:44pm, we’ll be hosting a city wide toast to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the disaster.
Chicagoans all over the city will be raising their glasses to the memory of the 844. We’ll be toasting with Ale Syndicate’s The 844 but you can raise whatever you’ve got on hand. To join in, snap a photo of your raised glass and tweet or Instgram it with the hashtag #The844.
