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.
