Brews and Views Benefiting Clearbrook

There is no better way to enjoy a Chicago evening than with spectacular views, brews, and food!

On Friday, June 10, guests came out to the Brews & Views Rooftop Beer Tasting at Lakeshore Fitness in Lincoln Park. Attendees enjoyed beer tastings from 13 different Midwest breweries and ate their way through the taco bar while enjoying the views of the Chicago skyline from the rooftop of Lakeshore Fitness.

The Clearbrook Associate Board partnered with Lakeshore Fitness to create a tasting event where the beers never stopped flowing and the lines were nonexistent. John Fitzgerald, a director at Lakeshore Fitness, coordinated with the catering staff to get an all-star line-up of breweries, including Maplewood, 2 Towns CiderHouse, Ravinia Brewing Co., Begyle Brewing Co., Rogue, Schlafly The Saint Louis Brewery, Saugatuck Brewing Co., Uncle John's Hard Cider, Around The Bend Beer Co., Temperance Beer Co., Delirium, and Wild Tonic. Over 100 young professionals came out in support of Clearbrook. Not only did guests enjoy the beers and taco bar, but they also participated in the silent auction and raffles-all in support of Clearbrook.

Clearbrook would like to thank the staff at Lakeshore Fitness for their kind hospitality and devotion for creating such an incredible event and the Clearbrook Associate Board's Brews & Views Event Committee for all their hard work in making this event so successful. Finally, a special thank you goes out to the event chair, Kevin Riley, for connecting Clearbrook with Lakeshore Fitness.
