Chicago’s Beer Weekend, January 24-26

To paraphrase P!nk: I’ve had a s#!t week.

Not just Monday’s utter awfulness, but my car’s battery died in the cold weather. Three times. Monday and Tuesday, my road service was able to come jump it with one of those jump starters the size of a brick. So on Tuesday, after getting the car jumped, I bought one of my own. Sure enough, it worked on Wednesday morning, but after I got to work, my whole car was bricked. This time I got it towed to the dealership, and hope to have the battery diagnosed or replaced Thursday. Luckily, I can work from home.

Meanwhile, Maplewood Brewery & Distillery is expanding its physical footprint. Block Club Chicago reports that they are building into their building at 2717 Maplewood Ave. They got that opportunity when their neighboring catering business moved out. The 3,000 sq. ft. space will have a lounge, expanded taproom, more draft lines and storage space.
