Way back in November, I set up a beer brewing class for Michael’s birthday down at Bev Art in the Beverly neighborhood of Chicago. Bev Art is the fantasically grassroots, hands-on project of Mr. Greg Fischer. The shop is a jumble of wine and beer making supplies, as well as grapes from California, and bottling equipment. Across the street, on the ‘wet’ side of Beverly, Mr. Fischer has a classroom setup for the actually brewing of wine, beer, and mead. He has been homebrewing and tinkering with winemaking since he was quite young…and has been teaching the process for at least 15 years. Greg is lively and eccentric…just the type of guy I want to get educated by.

BEV ART, 10033 South Western, Chicago, IL 60643. (773) 233-7579.
