Drinking and Writing at the Haymarket!

First, apologies for our extended absence here at the blog... Rest assured we're still brewing and meeting; we just sort of let the blog fall to the wayside. We're doing some retooling and adding some fresh faces to the blog so we hope you'll be back for regular postings from here on out.

Apologies aside, I wanted to let everybody know about a couple cool events going on at Chicago's newest brewpub, Haymarket. Haymarket is home to the Drinking & Writing Brewery (which puts on the annual Beerfly Alleyfight in which several HOPS! brewers participate), and they've recently announced that their awesome post-holiday show, To Cure A Hangover, has been extended until March 5th. It plays every Saturday at 4pm and I can't stress enough how great it is. You can get your tickets here.

Also, this Monday (which just happens to be Valentine's Day) at 7:37 pm is the inaugural meeting of Local 737, Haymarket's Mug Club. What's particularly cool about this mug club is that the Drinking & Writing Brewery will be curating an art performance at every tapping. This particular meeting will feature a cornucopia of artists including Christopher Piatt, Dr. Chloe Johnston, Rachel Claff, Rawson Vint, Jamie Budzick and Dina Walters as well as the tapping of their Agitator Double IPA. Oh, and the cost is a whopping $1, so hope you're ready to splurge.

Here at HOPS! we like to support all of our local breweries and brewpubs, and we'll try to post events here are we learn of them. Cheers!
