last night at Millennium was equal parts Ravinia, the old Dr. Wax Subterranean. I was here last when Prince died..Saphora gave out purple glow sticks to watch Purple Rain. Tonight was Common, De La Soul, Jennifer Hudson backed by Chicago Symphony Orchestra..incredible
Locally Brewed (Anna Blessing, 2014) my favourite book..got all 20 brewery founders to sign it..including Doug & Tracy who w a straight face goes “I’m for sure signing this book Klingon.”
..so I’m telling Randy Mosher my Chicago Beer Mt Rushmore is Randy Mosher. Pete Crowley. Jonathan Cutler. John Hall feel free to swap any of those w Ray Daniels. His response- Don’t forget Michael Sieben John Siebel..without them you don’t get the brewery or the Institute. 🍻
