Greening The Future Discussion Wednesday

On the first Wednesday of each month, environmentally-minded people gather upstairs at Duke's Alehouse & Kitchen to network and talk about “greening” the future." Everyone is welcome to attend the McHenry County Green Drinks on December 2nd, from 5 pm until 7 pm, 110 N Main Street in Crystal Lake.

The topics for the evening: “HOME BREWING as a Hobby” and “Choosing Sustainable Alcohol”.

Bill Cross from the Midnight Carboys (a local homebrew club) will talk about the fun of home brewing and will provide a few samples. Maybe you will want to join the club! Bill has won various medals in home brew competitions throughout the Midwest and is a "Recognized" Beer Judge. He recently collaborated with Crystal Lake Brewing to create the first sour beer in their collection with the proceeds going to non-profits.

Duke's Own staff will also talk about how they choose their sustainable alcoholic beverages to share with their patrons (it's a tough job but someone has to do it and there are so many to choose from!).

Come join them for an end of the year celebration and maybe you will learn something to share at your holiday gatherings.

Upcoming topics:
Jan. 6, 2016: Home composting for smaller households

Additional parking is available at the train station. To be added to the Green Drinks email list, send a note to: GreenDrinksMC@gmail.com or “like” the group on FaceBook www.FaceBook.com/GreenDrinksMcHenryCounty.

The Green Drinks network was founded in North London, England in 1989 and now is active in over 600 cities worldwide. Interested public is always welcome to attend the McHenry County Green Drinks monthly event. Each month there is a short presentation on a different eco-topic plus displays and demonstrations. Also, information about upcoming eco-events and green products and services is made available. Non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks are available plus a featured “green drink”.

Green Drinks McHenry County is sponsored by the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County and Duke’s Alehouse and Kitchen.
