The Week in Chicago Craft Beer, April 5-8
today at 12:10 am
The big news this week is that Revolution is finally opening its Milwaukee Ave. brewpub on April 7. Still at reduced capacity. And over the weekend, a few places have had to shut down temporarily when one of their staff tested positive for COVID exposure. I try to keep up with those on my Facebook page.
While cases are trending upwards again, so are vaccinations. I finally found out that I got the shot and not the placebo in a clinical reial of the Johnson & Johnson shot.
And if you need another sign that things are hoping to return to normal, check out all of the trivia nights starting this week.
