Brewing Company Donates to ECF

Two months after opening, Sketchbook Brewing Company has made a $350 donation.

Sketchbook Brewing Company, which opened at 825 Chicago Ave. in Evanston in late November, has already begun their contribution to the community.

The Daily Northwestern reports the new business donated 5 percent of its December sales ($350) to the Evanston Community Foundation, which works to distribute resources to local organizations.

Reports are that Sketchbook exceeded expectations in their first month of business, selling 1,000 growlers (64-ounce jugs) and howlers (32-ounce jugs) combined. Initially, they projected to sell between 700 and 800 total jugs the first month.
